Los Angeles Motorcycle Accidents
Danger on the open road
Motorcycles are steadily growing in popularity. Southern California highways have seen a dramatic increase in recreational and lifestyle bikers in the past decade. But, unfortunately, with more bikers on the road comes the increased likelihood of a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles.
Bikers face increased danger on the open road for several reasons:
- Passenger vehicle drivers unsure of safety regulations
- Low visibility—a bike easily slips into a car’s blind spot
- No external protection during an accident
- Road & weather conditions—slick, wet roads and gusty cross-winds
- Not wearing safety helmets
Sadly, injury stemming from a motorcycle accident is typically severe for the biker. Common head & spinal trauma often results in permanent damage for the victim. Recovery can be a slow process that requires time, money, and sometimes the help of an attorney to help ensure a settlement recovery that covers all damages.

To add insult to injury, bikers often face prejudice from insurance companies and encounter difficulties when collecting a settlement after their Los Angeles motorcycle accident. Typically, bike injuries are extensive & expensive, and an insurance company may try to lessen or avoid payment:
- Settling the claim immediately—before all injuries have surfaced
- Not offering enough money to cover all damages
- Denying the claim
- Refusing to investigate the claim
- Leveraging the evidence to increase biker’s liabilities
