Do these four things now

The first few days decide a lot of cases. In order:

1
See a doctor, even if you feel OKRoad rash, fractures and head injuries need documenting now. A gap in treatment is the first thing the insurer uses. No insurance? We'll get you seen.
2
Don't give a recorded statementYou don't have to. Adjusters are trained to get you to say things that lower your claim. Say: "My lawyer will call you."
3
Keep everythingPhotos of your bike, your gear, the road and the other vehicle. Don't repair or sell the bike or throw away the helmet and jacket until we've seen them. We get your police report free.
4
Don't sign anything. Call us.Early release forms and medical authorizations are written to limit what they owe you. A ten-minute call costs nothing and tells you where you stand.

Riverside motorcycle accident questions we get every day

Straight answers. No fine print.

I wasn't wearing a helmet. Do I still have a case?
California requires motorcycle drivers and passengers to wear safety helmets that meet the state's requirements. If you were not wearing one, the effect on an injury claim depends on the facts, including whether that affected your injuries. We can review the collision and the available evidence.
What if I was partly at fault?
California can reduce compensation by your share of responsibility for the harm. Being partly at fault does not automatically end a negligence claim. We review the evidence before accepting an insurer's account of what happened.
How much do you charge?
Nothing up front. We only get paid if you do. Our fee is a percentage of the money we get for you. You see it and sign it before we start. If we don't win, you owe nothing, not even case costs.

Motorcycle accidents in Riverside: what to know

Riders in Riverside share SR-91, I-15, I-215 and SR-60 and busy surface streets with drivers who often do not see them. Even at low speed, a rider has no protection, and injuries are often serious.

How these crashes happen

  • A car turns left across the rider's path
  • A driver changes lanes without checking the blind spot
  • A car door opens into the rider's path
  • Rear-end crashes in stop-and-go traffic
  • Potholes, gravel and uneven pavement

Insurers often assume the rider was speeding or careless. Bias against riders is real, so the evidence matters: video, skid marks, the damage to both vehicles and witness statements.

California rules that shape your case

  • Helmets. California requires every rider and passenger to wear a helmet that meets state standards. If you were not wearing one, the effect on your claim depends on the facts, including whether it changed your injuries. The other driver's fault for the crash is a separate question.
  • Lane splitting. California law expressly recognizes lane splitting. Insurers still try to blame riders for it. Whether it was done safely depends on speed, traffic and the evidence.
  • Partly at fault? You can still recover. California reduces your compensation by your share of the blame, but does not take it away.
  • Deadlines vary. How long you have depends on the type of case and who is responsible. Claims against a government agency, such as RTA, the City or County, or Caltrans, can have deadlines measured in months. Call early.

Where your case is handled

Most Riverside injury lawsuits are filed in the Riverside County Superior Court. Most cases settle before trial. When an insurer will not pay fairly, we are ready to try the case.

What to do now

  1. Get medical care, even if you feel OK. Keep your helmet and gear: they are evidence.
  2. Do not repair the motorcycle before it is inspected and photographed.
  3. Save photos, witness names and the police report number.
  4. Ask nearby businesses to save video right away. See how long camera footage is kept.
  5. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer.
  6. Call us. There is no fee or cost unless we recover money for you.
