Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists have the same right to the road as any other vehicle—but too often, drivers don’t treat them that way. When careless or reckless driving leads to a crash, it’s the motorcyclist who pays the price.

​

At L WOOD LAW, we know how devastating a motorcycle accident can be—physically, emotionally, and financially. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle crash, our firm is here to stand up for you and fight for the compensation you need to move forward.

The Unique Dangers Riders Face

 

California’s weather and roadways make it one of the best places to ride—but also one of the most dangerous. Unlike cars, motorcycles offer little protection in a crash, and even low-speed collisions can lead to life-altering injuries.

​

Motorcycle accidents are frequently caused by:

​

• Drivers failing to see or yield to motorcyclists

• Unsafe lane changes

• Left-turn collisions at intersections

• Distracted or impaired driving

• Opening car doors into a rider’s path (dooring)

• Hazardous road conditions or debris

 

Too often, riders are unfairly blamed for accidents caused by negligent drivers. At L WOOD LAW, we know the bias riders face—and we know how to fight back. Lane splitting is legal in California, yet many drivers don't know that.

​

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

 

Motorcycle accident victims often suffer severe injuries, such as:

​

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Spinal cord damage and paralysis

• Road rash and disfigurement

• Fractured bones

• Internal organ injuries

• Amputations or crush injuries

 

We work with top medical experts to understand the full extent of your injuries and the long-term care you may need.

​

What Damages Can You Recover?

 

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:

​

• Emergency and ongoing medical costs

• Lost wages and loss of future earning potential

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Permanent disability or disfigurement

• Motorcycle repair or replacement

• Wrongful death benefits (for surviving family members)

 

Our mission at L WOOD LAW is to pursue the maximum compensation available—because you deserve nothing less.

​

What If They Say the Crash Was Your Fault?

 

Insurance companies often try to shift blame to motorcyclists—even when the other driver was clearly at fault. California follows a comparative fault system, which means even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover damages.

​

Don’t let the insurance company minimize your case. We’ll fight to set the record straight.

​

Don’t Wait—Time Limits Apply

 

Under California law, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claims involving government vehicles or dangerous road conditions may have much shorter deadlines.

​

Early legal representation can preserve critical evidence, secure witness statements, and strengthen your case. Contact L WOOD LAW as soon as possible after a crash.
