GJEL Accident Attorneys

I understand that determining fault in a motorcycle accident can be a complex process. However, there are several pieces of evidence that can help establish who is at fault, such as witness statements, police reports, photographs of the scene, and video footage. It is also important to gather medical records and other documentation to support your case.

I understand that you may be wondering how long your motorcycle accident case will take to resolve. The length of time it takes to resolve a motorcycle accident case can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the extent of your injuries. Some cases may be resolved in a matter of months, while others may take years to reach a settlement or go to trial.

Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover compensation for your injuries. California follows a comparative fault system, which means that your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident. For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault for the accident, your compensation would be reduced by 20%.

Below are some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents we see throughout California.

Depending on the facts of your case, compensation may include past and future medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses related to the accident. A full claim should reflect not only your current expenses, but also the long-term impact the crash has on your health, work, and daily life.

If the at-fault driver is uninsured, underinsured, or involved in a hit-and-run, you may still have options for recovery through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. These claims can be complex, so it is important to review your policy and speak with an attorney before responding to the insurance company.
