Why Motorcycle Accidents Often Lead to Serious Injuries
Motorcyclists have almost no protection in a crash. The national numbers show how a small share of traffic ends up carrying a large share of the harm.
How much a helmet reduces fatal risk
Small share,
heavy toll
Motorcycles are a fraction of the traffic, yet a leading share of the deaths.
How Is Liability Determined After a Motorcycle Accident?
Before you can recover anything, you have to show who caused the crash. California is a fault-based state, so the person responsible for the accident is the one who pays for the harm. To hold them accountable, four things generally have to be shown: that the driver owed you a duty of care, that they broke it, that the breach caused your crash, and that you suffered real losses as a result.
Motorcycle cases come with an added hurdle. Insurers often assume the rider was speeding or weaving, even when the other driver is clearly at fault. That is why evidence matters so much, from skid marks and camera footage to witness accounts and the police report.
Fault is not always all-or-nothing. Under California's pure comparative negligence rule, you can still recover money even if you were partly to blame, and your share simply reduces the amount. Keep in mind you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a claim. Our Westlake Village injury lawyers investigate the crash, push back on the blame insurers try to shift onto riders, and build the case needed to recover what you are owed.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
With little between a rider and the road, even a single crash can cause lasting harm.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
A blow to the head can lead to concussions, bleeding, or long-term cognitive and memory problems.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spine can result in chronic pain, nerve damage, or partial or complete paralysis.
Broken Bones
Fractures are common in the arms, legs, ribs, collarbone, and hands in motorcycle crashes.
Road Rash
Sliding on pavement can cause severe skin abrasions and long-term scarring.
Internal Injuries
Blunt force trauma can damage internal organs and may not be visible right away.
Joint and Soft Tissue Damage
Sprains, tears, and ligament damage can limit mobility and require extensive treatment.
A helmet is estimated to be 37% effective at preventing fatal injuries to riders.

Westlake Village Motorcycle FAQs
There is no fixed average, as settlement values depend on injury severity, total medical costs, lost income, and available insurance policy limits. Because motorcycle crashes often cause catastrophic trauma (such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, or severe road rash), payouts frequently reach maximum policy limits. A Westlake Village motorcycle accident lawyer evaluates both immediate bills and long-term care needs to ensure no money is left on the table.
Yes, lane splitting is legal in California (California Vehicle Code § 21658.1). However, insurance companies often try to use lane splitting against riders to assign fault. If you were splitting lanes safely within traffic flow when hit by a negligent driver, a Westlake Village motorcycle accident lawyer can demonstrate that the motorist’s failure to yield or check blind spots was the primary cause of the crash.
Yes. If an at-fault driver flees or lacks active auto liability coverage, you can recover funds through your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy. We navigate your insurance carrier’s terms to ensure they fulfill the policy limits you pay for.
Potentially, yes. Not wearing a helmet does not automatically prevent you from bringing a claim. However, it may become an issue if the insurance company argues that helmet use would have reduced the severity of your injuries.
We operate on a contingency fee basis. That means:
Zero Upfront Costs: You pay nothing out of pocket to retain our legal team.
We Cover Case Expenses: We cover all costs associated with investigating your crash, filing court documents, and hiring expert witnesses.
No Win, No Fee: You only pay legal fees if we secure a financial settlement or verdict on your behalf. Our fee is taken as an agreed-upon percentage of your final recovery.
