Motorcycle crashes involve unique issues of liability, comparative fault, injury causation and accident reconstruction. Tragically, motorcycle accidents account for a disproportionate number of catastrophic injuries on California's highways. Injuries to motorcyclists are typically much more severe than to automobile occupants. For this reason, if you are injured in a motorcycle accident, or if you have lost a loved one in a collision, it is critical that you speak to an attorney who understands motorcycle accident reconstruction as soon after the accident as possible. Many juries, and some judges, are predisposed to find motorcycle riders at fault. Many drivers ignore motorcycles on the highway, and fail to grant them full use of the road, or the legal right of way. For these reasons, motorcycle riders are at higher risk than other vehicle drivers. Experienced motorcycle riders know the risk of careless drivers, and experienced motorcycle accident attorneys know how to protect the rights of motorcycle riders.

A complete and thorough investigation of any motorcycle accident by a competent attorney, skilled in the field, is critical. Issues including highway design, stopping distances, field of vision by the rider and opposing vehicle operator, vision obstructions including signage and shrubbery issues must all be considered. Reconstruction of a motorcycle accident often requires prompt identification and analysis of road debris, skid marks, or gouge marks produced from impact between the bike and the pavement. This type of investigation must be done soon after an accident to guarantee that it is accurate. If you or someone you know has been involved in a serious motorcycle accident, you need an experienced motorcycle accident attorney to stand up for your rights and secure the compensation you are entitled to.
