San Diego Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle riding is a liberating, exciting form of self-expression. Unfortunately, it can be dangerous and even deadly, particularly when other drivers are negligent. Their lack of concern for the safety of others can have disastrous results. San Diego motorcycle accidents cause some of the most serious injuries due to the smaller size and weight of the motorcycle as well as the lack of protection of the rider. Even with proper safety gear, motorcyclists may sustain catastrophic injuries to the head, neck, spine and brain. Burns and amputation are also possible and can cause permanent disfigurement.

Often, motorcyclists are at a high risk for accidents due to the conduct of other drivers on the road. Many motorists are unaware of a motorcyclist in an adjacent lane and will unknowingly infringe upon their right of way. Although unintentional, this action still puts the driver at fault. A driver may be speeding, may be driving while texting or talking on the phone or may be driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and may therefore have a decreased capacity to recognize the presence of a motorcycle and rider. These factors may also decrease a driver's reaction time to a change in traffic, a hazard in the roadway or a motorcyclist that is in their path, leading to a collision. No matter the specific factor that led to the accident, at our injury law firm we believe that the responsible party should be held accountable.

Proving who is at fault or caused a motorcycle accident can be difficult. Relevant evidence needs to be gathered and used to your advantage in court.
