[Page updated 05/26/2021] Brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are expensive. As medical bills pile up, the motorcycle accident law expert you select to protect your motorcycle accident claim remains vital. In general, bias against lane splitting and motorcyclists requires a special kind of personal injury lawyer, preferably a military vet who understands motorcycle laws and the biker lifestyle.
Localized personal injury law experience is worth its weight in gold to injured motorcyclists. The Ehline Law Firm’s trial lawyers have consistently ranked high among California’s top motorcycle accident injury attorneys. We have years of experience negotiating and winning cases against insurance companies.
We started as Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorneys, growing into a statewide catastrophic injury law firm. We maintain multiple locations in Northern California, Central California, and Southern California. Whether you were in a Los Angeles motorcycle accident or need to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in Sacramento, Fresno, or San Diego, we can help.
Our motorcycle attorneys have earned many positive accolades, professional awards, and client testimonials. Our law firm stands tall with a vast trial record of landmark verdicts and settlements and over 40 years of combined legal expertise.

At our firm, we work on a contingency fee basis. If we can’t get the injured rider what they are entitled to, our law office recovers no money.
Our skilled personal injury attorney will fight for what you deserve if you or a loved one were injured and suffering emotional pain after a motor vehicle accident.

Motorcycle accidents are inherently more dangerous for riders than motorists in car accidents. Motorcycle riders are not seat belted or surrounded by protective steel cages. Left-hand turn lanes at intersections are notorious for taking out L.A. bikers.
Riders can get thrown from their motorcycle during vehicular accidents, resulting in devastating injuries caused by:

The Pacific Coast Highway and Route 66 remain among the world’s most splendid and scenic locations for motorcycle riding. Unfortunately, our motorcycle accident attorneys in California have seen our roads and expressways in disrepair.
Riders must exercise extreme caution riding California’s roads, freeways, and expressways. Many streets have become congested and dangerous. Many reckless, inattentive, and distracted drivers disregard basic road rules.
We hold people who endanger others accountable when they cause riders property or bodily damage. Were you struck by a passenger vehicle from the rear? Was your loved one killed after getting cut off at an intersection by a negligent car operator, bus, or truck driver? Did you get side-swiped while lane splitting, and the cop blamed you when inverse visibility was the cause?
We gained our reputation as California’s top motorcycle accident attorney group by fighting the coldhearted insurance company and negligent government agencies like CalTrans.
You don’t want a biased police report. Most of the time, the assigned officer investigating your traffic incident automatically thinks you are the one to blame.
Arguably, police bias can stem from the investigator’s personal experiences. If you were riding above the speed limit, most officers hold you responsible for the ensuing wreck, even if speed played no role.
Yes. Another factor in their bias may be the type of motorcycle you ride. Some patrolmen see sports bikes as likely speeding or too powerful for the road. Incidentally, some officers may look at Harley-Davidson or Victory riders as “Biker Gang” members.
These unfair, preconceived notions against riders must be overcome with evidence. But police bias may taint the police report. Ehline will make efforts to amend the traffic report if possible.
You may have been legal “lane splitting.” But what if you traveled faster than traffic and were struck by a careless car driver flying through the air? The reporting officer will take statements of all parties. But cops often rely on the adverse driver to get your speed estimate. The at-fault driver will say you were going too fast and they were traveling slowly.
Drivers might say they were stopped before the collision. But in reality, the other driver knows nothing other than their insurance rates will go up if it’s their fault. We hold the negligent car driver accountable for causing the lane-splitting accident.
Motorcycle safety is key to preventing serious damage in a collision. Motorcycle safety is essential for the rider. Taking precautions will help decrease accidents and injuries.
Catastrophic injuries are common in motorcycling, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Motorcycle fatalities rose over 129%, from 2,028 in 1997 to 4,654 in 2006. Motorcycle accidents see far more serious injuries and wrongful death negligence claims than occupants in a car accident.
Steel horses remain inherently more dangerous than cars. California has more registered motorcycles than any other state. Motorcycles make up around 3% of California’s registered vehicles (around one million motorcycles are registered in CA 2020). As gas prices rise, our California motorcycle lawyers see these crashes increasing their already lopsided number of traumatic brain injury and wrongful death claims.
Motorcyclists remain far more likely to suffer a crash that causes death or serious personal injuries. Motorcyclist fatalities remain 27 times greater than for people riding in passenger vehicles during similar impact auto accidents. Passenger car occupant fatalities are also lower.
A motorcycle rider remains five times more likely to suffer serious injuries or death from crashing. Around 60% of motorcycle accidents happen during dusk, nightfall, and sunrise.
Steps injured riders take after a motorcycle crash can significantly impact their injury case.
Studies show that wounded riders receive the best compensation by immediately hiring a competent lawyer. Injured bikers can reach our local California law offices today.
The insurance claims adjuster for the negligent driver wants to limit or reduce the money they pay motorcyclists or even deny their claim entirely. They are hiring other lawyers to practice law on your behalf. Less experienced than Ehline is not your best option.
Other lawyers won’t get you enough money from the at-fault driver! We have recovered hundreds of millions for our clients suffering severe injuries. A consultation with our best lawyers costs you nothing upfront.
You are eligible to receive compensation for many types of damages upon a showing of proof. Money is available to cover prescribed treatment, future physical limitations, difficulty sleeping, memory loss, vertigo, and headaches. Records documenting hemorrhaging and internal bleeding help us demonstrate pain and suffering.
For example, PTSD could make you fearful of motorcycling. You may experience extreme pain when kneeling, bending, or sitting for an extended period. A significant damage component is working or living life with permanent pain.
Economic damages are tangible losses. You can recover money spent on medical bills for prescriptions or medical supplies. You can also seek recovery for full and partial missed days from work or permanent disability. To settle your claim, we will need any bills, receipts, or disability slips you have received.
Auto insurance companies typically refuse payment for missed work time unless authorized by your medical provider.
To help prove your case will request medical records directly from you, your employer, and medical providers, including evidence of:
If you go back to work immediately and then take time off later, it will appear you are faking. The doctor’s note ensures your time off work was valid so that you can recover lost wages even with treatment. We’ll contact your employer at your last work address to verify your lot earnings.
The receipts you obtain for medical expenses help insurers and juries determine the nature and extent of your trauma sustained. This evidence helps us determine intangible value.
Your trial lawyer will seek compensation for your:
