 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With LLN attorneys Harry and Gerardo I never had to worry. I never had to worry about whether LLN is going get me the best settlement possible…or rollover at the first offer. Harry and Gerardo have a simple action plan. Present the case for negotiation. If that’s not respected then go to trial. After I signed up with LLN I was introduced to the entire team on a Zoom call. I was told who was responsible for what. I was told where things happen, when things happen, and how they happen. I downloaded the LLN app, and if I needed to reach anyone I simply messaged them and someone got back to me in a timely manner. I always had the option to call if necessary. What I didn’t have to deal with is a guy on a billboard telling me how cool and tough they are. The same guy that calls right away when the slightest pushback happens telling me I need to settle. LLN are trial attorneys who actually go to trial against the opposition. It seems like most other law firms only go to trial when they’re suing their own law partner. How many billboards have I driven past? How many buses with advertisement on the side? How many TV commercials telling me how “they’re gonna fight for my whatever”. It doesn’t happen… and it’s all smoke and mirrors with a majority of the attorneys out there. I believe the attorneys at LLN didn’t do this just for me. LLN operates the way they do because they have pride in their work and self-respect. They have a reputation to uphold, not only with their clients but also with their colleagues and their peers. How do I know this? Because I saw them interact with mediators and judges. I saw how they were treated by the people making the decisions. They have their respect. It’s critical to note that I had realistic expectations for my settlement. For me it was all about finding the sweet spot. The trade-off between a long trial and a verdict, or taking what quite possibly is just as close an offer and settling much earlier while minimizing risk. Once I made a decision I did not look back. The attorneys at LLN are realistic. They stated ‘this is what we have’ , ‘this is what we don’t have’, and ‘this is what we might be able to achieve’ . I made a decision with as much informed consent as possible. I can live with that.

Bakersfield Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Dealing with a motorcycle accident can be more difficult than a car accident for multiple reasons. First, motorcyclists have less physical protection than drivers, so they are more likely to suffer serious injuries during a crash. Motorcyclists also face bias from those who assume that they are irresponsible and at fault for their accident. Working with our Bakersfield motorcycle accident lawyer can help overcome this bias and get the best possible outcome in your case. Reach out to our personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal options.

Who Is Liable for a Motorcycle Crash?

California uses an at-fault vehicle insurance system, which means the insurance policy of the driver who was responsible pays the medical bills and other expenses for anyone who was injured in the accident. Most motorcycle accident claims are settled between the injured motorcyclist and the other driver’s insurance company without going to court. However, this process often requires some negotiation, so hiring our motorcycle accident attorneys in Bakersfield is still helpful. If the insurance company does not provide a fair settlement, the motorcycle rider can opt to sue.

Courts in California use a pure comparative fault system for awarding damages. This means the court will determine how responsible each person involved in the accident was as a percentage. The injured person’s compensation would then be reduced by their percentage of liability. For example, if a driver was found to be 80% responsible and a motorcyclist to be 20% and the motorcyclist had $100,000 in damages, they would receive $80,000. There are no limits on how much responsibility a person could have while still receiving damages. In theory, a motorcyclist with 95% responsibility and $100,000 in damages could receive $5,000. This can become especially complicated when both parties are injured and potentially eligible for damages.

Compensation After a Motorcycle Accident

If the other driver is responsible for the accident, whether partially or fully, the injured motorcyclist could receive both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are intended to reimburse specific costs like medical bills or lost wages. If the accident caused a long-term disability, this could also include lost future wages and ongoing medical expenses. Non-economic damages are intended to compensate for more abstract losses like pain and suffering or emotional distress.

What Motorcycle Laws Could Affect an Accident Claim?

Legal responsibility for an accident is not always clear-cut, but looking at whether each driver involved was following the rules of the road can be a good place to start. The court and insurance companies might see compliance or non-compliance with motorcycle-specific laws as signs of whether a motorcyclist was at fault for an accident. For example, California requires all motorcyclists and their passengers to wear helmets. Riding without a helmet could make getting compensation after an accident more difficult.

Lane splitting, when a motorcyclist rides between two lanes of car traffic, is another issue that could come up. While lane splitting is legal as long as motorcycle riders do it cautiously, many people see it as a dangerous practice. This can make getting compensation after a lane splitting accident more difficult even if the motorcyclist was not at fault. Our Bakersfield attorney could fight against false accusations of a motorcyclist breaking the law before an accident.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle crashes happen for many reasons, but they are more often than not related to the carelessness of another driver on the roadway. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

Left-turn collisions at intersections
Unsafe lane changes
Drivers failing to check blind spots
Speeding
Distracted driving
Following too closely
Opening a vehicle door into a rider’s path
Drunk or impaired driving

Driver behavior might be the most common reason for a collision, but other factors, like vehicle defects, might also be to blame.

Types of Motorcycle Accidents

Common types of motorcycle accidents include:

Rear-end collisions
Sideswipe crashes
Head-on collisions
T-bone accidents
Lane-change accidents
Dooring accidents

The kind of crash matters because it often helps explain how the collision happened and why the rider suffered such serious injuries.

What Injuries Are Common in a Motorcycle Crash?

Motorcyclists do not have the protection that drivers and passengers have inside a car. Even when a rider wears a helmet and protective gear, you could suffer any of the following injuries in a crash:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Neck injuries
Back injuries
Bone fractures
Road rash
Internal bleeding

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

What you do after a crash can affect both your health and your injury claim. A Bakersfield motorcycle accident attorney usually recommends the following steps:

Get Medical Help Right Away

Your first priority should be your safety. Call 911 or get emergency treatment as soon as possible. Some injuries may not seem serious at first, only for the symptoms to quickly become severe in the hours that follow. Seeing a doctor right away can prevent your condition from getting worse.

Call the Police

A police report can play a major role in a motorcycle accident claim. When officers appear at the scene, they will take statements and eventually create a written report. This report can be invaluable to your attorney as they build your case for negligence.

Document the Scene

If you are physically able, take photos of the motorcycle, the other vehicle, skid marks, debris, traffic signs, and visible injuries. Try to get the names and contact information of witnesses. Evidence collected at the scene can disappear quickly, especially after damaged vehicles are moved.

Be Careful What You Say

Do not apologize or speculate about what caused the accident while at the scene. You are only obligated to provide your license and insurance information, and saying anything beyond that will only work against you. Never talk with the insurance companies without talking with a lawyer first.

Understanding the Claims Process

Many injured riders know they have a claim, but they do not know what happens next. The following steps are common after any crash.

Step One: Investigation

The claim starts with a close review of how the crash happened. Your attorneys will take into account everything from police reports to witness statements, with the goal of proving someone else was at fault.

Step Two: Damages Review

Next, the claim must be valued. There are many different types of damages available through an injury lawsuit, and your attorney will need evidence for each of them.

Step Three: Insurance Claim Submission

Once the evidence is gathered, a demand is usually sent to the insurance company or its attorneys. This document sets out the theory of negligence in your case and demands compensation in exchange for not pursuing a civil suit against the other party.

Step Four: Negotiation

Most motorcycle injury claims go through negotiation before a lawsuit is filed or resolved. Insurance companies often begin with a low offer, but it is often possible to work back to something reasonable.

Step Five: Lawsuit and Litigation if Necessary

If the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement, the next step may be filing a lawsuit. The thought of a lawsuit can be overwhelming for some people, but our attorneys will work tirelessly to settle your claim until the last possible moment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.

DO I NEED TO HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.

After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent.

Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident.

WILL MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM GO TO TRIAL?

Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered. If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
