Why Motorcycle Accidents Require Specific Legal Knowledge
Motorcycle accidents have an additional layer of complexity that sets them apart from ordinary passenger-car collisions. The most notable difference is that bikers have far less protection and are therefore much more susceptible to serious injuries — even at relatively low speeds. These injuries often result in substantial medical bills, significantly impacting victims’ quality of life and long-term well-being.Â
We understand what's at stake for injured motorcycle riders and know what it takes to secure the compensation they need to recover.
Understanding Common Motorcycle Accidents Injuries
These are just a few common motorcycle injuries that HHT Law can help you recover compensation for:
Road Rash
Even at low speeds, a motorcycle rider can sustain extensive and painful road rash from sliding on the pavement during a crash.
Head Injuries
Head injuries are common in motorcycle accidents and are a leading cause of biker fatalities — even when they wear a helmet. These injuries range from concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries, each requiring a unique approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Broken Bones
Because they have next to no protection in a crash, even minor motorcycle accidents can result in severe broken bones. These may require multiple surgeries, pain management, and lengthy physical therapy to regain mobility and function.
Internal Injuries
Internal injuries like organ damage or internal bleeding are rarely immediately visible, but they’re serious consequences that require urgent medical attention and careful long-term monitoring.
Helping Families Seek Justice After a Motorcycle Fatality
Losing a loved one is never easy, but this painful loss is even more profound when it’s the result of a motorcycle accident caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. Thankfully, California law gives families the right to pursue compensation for this loss via a wrongful death claim.Â
In California, the spouse, children, parents, or other legal dependents of the deceased person can pursue a claim to cover medical expenses before death, funeral costs, loss of companionship, loss of income and support, and emotional distress.
The motorcycle accident lawyers at HHT Law help families pursue wrongful death claims, seek justice for their loss, and recover full and fair compensation.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are most commonly caused by negligent driver behavior, including:
Negligent Driving
Sadly, drivers often underestimate a motorcycle’s speed, make left-hand turns in front of oncoming bikers, fail to see riders in their blind spots, or make dangerous lane changes — all of which can cause serious accidents.
Distracted Driving
Cell phone use while driving poses a serious risk to everyone around you. However, the risk is greatest for motorcycle riders, who can lose control of their vehicle with even a minor graze. We’ll work to establish whether someone else’s distracted driving contributed to your collision.
Driving Under the Influence
Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs always increases the risk of a crash, and for bikers, this often means serious or fatal injuries. We aggressively pursue justice for injured bikers when irresponsible motorists cause preventable motorcycle accidents.
Recovering Compensation for Your Motorcycle Accident
After a motorcycle accident, getting back on your feet financially is just as important as your physical recovery. We work tirelessly to ensure your settlement fully covers your losses, including compensation for:
Medical Bills
Including ambulance fees, emergency room visits, surgeries, hospitalization, medication, ongoing therapy, and future treatment, we fight to ensure that your healthcare expenses are covered in full.
Lost Wages
If you're unable to work due to your injuries, we'll work to recover compensation for your missed earnings — both current and future.
Property Damage
We’ll make sure you are fairly compensated for any damage to your motorcycle, helmet, gear, and any other belongings that were impacted in the accident.
Pain & Suffering
As part of your motorcycle accident claim, California law allows you to recover compensation for the pain and suffering you endured as a result of the accident.
Emotional Distress
Motorcycle accidents can be deeply traumatizing, leaving bikers with emotional and psychological challenges long after the crash. We will fight to recover damages for your mental anguish, emotional trauma, anxiety, and the costs associated with any necessary mental health treatment.
Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Crash
In the immediate aftermath of a motorcycle accident, take these critical steps to protect your well-being and legal rights:
Seek Medical AttentionFirst and foremost, seek medical attention. While some injuries may not be immediately apparent, seeing a healthcare professional not only ensures your well-being but also documents your injuries for your claim.
Get a Police ReportA police report will contain details about the accident and will help establish fault later on. Make sure one is created at the scene, and get a copy for yourself.
Gather Information from Others at the Scene If you’re able to, get information from any other drivers involved. This includes their driver’s license information, license plate number, insurance details, contact information, and anything else that might be useful to your claim.
Don't Admit Fault It’s crucial that you do not take any blame for the crash, even if you think you might have contributed to it. Insurance adjusters may try to twist your statements to undervalue your claim.
Take Photos and Videos of the Accident Take photos and videos of your injuries, property damage, the accident scene, the roadway conditions, skid marks, and anything else that can help paint a full picture of the incident.

What are some common causes of motorcycle accidents?
Most motorcycle crashes result from driver error, including speeding, making unsafe lane changes, failing to yield the right-of-way to motorcyclists, making left-hand turns without adequately checking oncoming traffic, and distracted driving.
Does not wearing a helmet affect my right to compensation?
California Vehicle Code (VC) 27803 requires all riders and passengers to wear helmets when operating or riding on a motorcycle. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident and you weren't wearing a helmet, it may affect the compensation you receive, as the insurance company may argue that you weren't taking adequate precautions. However, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney will be your advocate.
What if my injuries appear minor after my motorcycle crash? Do I still need a lawyer?
While some motorcyclists are lucky enough to walk away from a wreck with only minor injuries, it’s essential to contact a lawyer and discuss your situation. Often, injuries that seem minor at first may worsen over time, resulting in additional medical costs or impacting your ability to work. If you consult a legal professional immediately after an accident, you’ll be prepared to seek compensation for these losses.
