Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Irvine, CA

Riding in Irvine offers a great deal of freedom, but that freedom brings with it a high potential cost: the harm you can suffer in a motorcycle accident. Due to the lack of protection offered by motorcycles, motorcycle accident victims often suffer from severe injuries. These injuries can result in high medical bills, the inability to work for a long time after the accident, and significant suffering. At Setareh Law, our Irvine personal injury attorneys understand the damages that can result from a motorcycle accident and how compensation can make all the difference. When someone else’s negligence leads to a motorcycle accident, you have the right to pursue compensation for those damages. We handle every case on a contingency fee basis. We also speak Spanish.

What Damages Are Available in a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

Motorcycle accidents often result in substantial damage. Each year, there are around 550 motorcycle accident fatalities in California. While each motorcycle accident claim is different, common damages available include compensation for medical bills covering all your treatment costs including emergency care, surgery, physical therapy, and future anticipated medical expenses; reparation for lost wages for time missed at work following your accident and any reduction in future earning capacity; and compensation for pain and suffering covering the non-financial impact of your injuries on your overall well-being both now and in the future.

Determining Liability after a Motorcycle Accident

In order to pursue compensation through an injury claim, you will need to determine who bears liability for your motorcycle accident. A driver may bear liability when any negligent action leads to a motorcycle accident, including speeding, failing to follow traffic laws, failing to share the road safely with a motorcycle, driving while distracted, failing to check blind spots for the presence of a motorcycle, and driving while intoxicated. A motorcycle accident lawyer can provide evidence of the other driver’s negligence and determine if any other parties, such as the manufacturer of a vehicle that failed, may share liability.

How a Lawyer Can Help After a Motorcycle Accident

A motorcycle accident lawyer brings numerous advantages to the claim process. Your attorney can collect essential evidence by talking to witnesses and accessing video footage; bring in expert witnesses such as accident reconstruction experts or medical professionals; keep you on track with essential filing deadlines; determine the full damages associated with the accident; negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf; and represent you if your claim goes to court. We also handle related Irvine cases including dog bite, slip and fall, wrongful death, and general personal injury matters throughout Irvine.

Are motorcycle accident claims handled differently from car accident claims?

In many ways, the legal process is similar, but motorcyclists often face bias from insurance adjusters who assume they were reckless. An experienced attorney can push back against these assumptions and build a strong case based on the actual evidence.

What are the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in California?

Common causes include drivers failing to yield, unsafe lane changes, distracted driving, door collisions (dooring), and poorly maintained road surfaces. Identifying the cause is critical to determining who is liable and what compensation may be available.

Does lane splitting affect my motorcycle accident claim?

California is the only state where lane splitting is legal. If you were lane-splitting within the bounds of what is considered safe and reasonable, it does not automatically mean you were at fault. Courts and insurance companies look at the full picture, including the speeds and behavior of all involved parties.

What types of injuries are most common in motorcycle accidents?

Motorcyclists are far more vulnerable than occupants of enclosed vehicles. Common injuries include road rash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal injuries. These injuries often require extensive treatment and may result in long-term disabilities.

Should I wear a helmet, and how does it affect my claim?

California law requires all motorcycle riders and passengers to wear helmets. If you were not wearing one and sustained a head injury, the at-fault party may argue that your failure to wear a helmet contributed to the severity of your injuries, which could reduce your compensation.

Can I file a claim if the at-fault driver fled the scene?

Yes. A hit-and-run accident does not eliminate your ability to recover compensation. Your own uninsured motorist coverage may apply, and investigators may still be able to identify the responsible driver. Document everything you can at the scene and contact law enforcement immediately.

How is compensation calculated in a motorcycle accident case?

Compensation depends on the nature and extent of your injuries, the cost of your medical treatment, your income losses, the impact on your quality of life, and the degree of fault assigned to each party. Our attorneys work to ensure every relevant factor is considered when valuing your claim.

What should I do if the other driver's insurance company contacts me?

You are not required to speak with the other driver's insurance company, and doing so without legal representation can seriously harm your case. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Direct all communications to your attorney as early in the process as possible.
