Motorcycle Accidents

As a Motorcyclist, You Deserve the Same Protection and Respect as Any Other Motorist

Riding a motorcycle in Los Angeles gives you freedom, flexibility, and an efficient way to get around traffic. But it also comes with risks that drivers in larger vehicles rarely face. One distracted lane change or careless left turn can result in serious, life-altering injuries. If you were injured in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence, you should not have to carry the cost alone.

At Need Justice Now, APC, our Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorneys represent injured riders across California. We know what riders face after a crash—insurance companies often try to shift blame, downplay injuries, or suggest you assumed the risk just by riding. We push back against those tactics and build your case based on facts, not stereotypes.

Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Dangerous

Motorcycles offer very little physical protection in a collision. Riders do not have the benefit of seatbelts, airbags, or steel frames. When a car hits you, you absorb the force directly. Even low-speed accidents can result in severe injuries that require surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Los Angeles and throughout California include:

• Drivers making unsafe left turns
• Cars merging into motorcycle lanes without checking blind spots
• Distracted driving, especially in heavy traffic
• Speeding or aggressive lane changes
• Failure to yield at intersections
• Opening vehicle doors into a rider’s path

Our firm investigates exactly what caused the crash. We look at traffic patterns, driver behavior, surveillance footage, and witness statements. We also consult with accident reconstruction professionals when needed to show how and why the crash occurred.

Common Injuries in Motorcycle Crashes

Even when you wear a helmet and follow the rules of the road, you are still exposed to serious risk. We represent clients who have suffered:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Broken bones and crushed limbs
• Road rash requiring skin grafts
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Permanent disfigurement or amputation

These injuries often require multiple surgeries, long-term pain management, and changes to how you live or work. If your injuries are permanent or disabling, we work with medical experts, life care planners, and financial consultants to build a case that reflects your future needs.

Why Motorcycle Accident Claims Can Be More Challenging

Motorcyclists are often unfairly blamed for their own injuries. Insurance companies may argue that you were speeding, weaving through traffic, or taking unnecessary risks—even when there is no evidence to support those claims. We know these tactics well, and we know how to respond.

California law gives motorcyclists the same right to use the road as anyone else. When another driver violates that right and causes a crash, they can be held responsible for the injuries and financial losses that follow.

Our team works to shift the focus back where it belongs—on the driver who failed to share the road safely.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If your crash was caused by someone else, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills and emergency treatment
• Future surgeries or rehabilitation
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Motorcycle repair or replacement costs

In fatal accident cases, we also represent surviving families in wrongful death claims.

We handle the legal work so you can focus on recovery and rebuilding your life.
