Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Drake Law Firm Personal Injury Law Firm

A motorcycle accident can be one of the most injurious accidents for a rider. Because of the open and unprotected design of a motorcycle in comparison to the weight of a typical sedan (approximately 3,000 pounds), even a slight accident can cause great injury. Not only that, other drivers’ ignorance of a motorcycle rider’s rights on the road, or their inability to see a motorcycle rider, can cause an accident in a situation that a car may have been able to avoid.

If you have been in a motorcycle accident in California, our personal injury attorneys can help. The Drake Law Firm is located in Los Angeles, California and our experienced attorneys represent motorcycle accident injury victims and families throughout California in particular, Los Angeles County and Orange County. 

Determining Fault in California Motorcycle Accidents

Our personal injury attorneys have experience in proving fault in motorcycle accidents. As with any motor vehicle accident, figuring out who is at fault in a motorcycle accident is a sometimes a complicated process. You may know that the other driver acted carelessly, but not what rule or rules that person violated. Fault issues can be complex; that is where our personal injury lawyers can help. We will look to a number of sources: police reports, state traffic laws, witnesses, background of drivers and more, to help determine who was at fault and how to prove it.

California courts consider a number of factors in determining whether a driver was at fault. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Disobeying traffic signs or signals

• Failing to signal while turning

• Driving above or below the posted speed limit

• Disregarding weather or traffic conditions

• Failing to drive on the correct side of the road

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
