Motorcycle Accidents
It is estimated that over 800,000 motorcycles are registered to California residents, and more than 150,000 are registered in Los Angeles. When you add in the nearly 6.3 million cars, trucks, and SUVs registered in LA, that is a massive amount of traffic that resulted in nearly 14,000 motorcyclists suffering injuries in a single year. Unfortunately, around a quarter of all motorcycle accidents result in a loss of life.
There is always a running commentary about the cause of motorcycle accidents. The blame is thrown in many directions, including drunk drivers, driver distraction of the motorcyclist and other drivers, lane splitting, and the smaller vehicle size, which makes it more difficult to see. However, the fact remains that all drivers must obey the laws of the road and share the space equally with all licensed drivers while watching carefully for pedestrians. If you or a loved one recently became a victim of a motorcycle accident injury, the experts at LA Injury Attorneys are here to help you overcome the challenges and financial hardships caused by this tragedy.
What The LA Injury Attorneys Extensive Expertise Will Do For You
Many motorcycle accident victims assume that they can handle the insurance claim on their own. When they reported the accident to their insurance company or were contacted by the other driver’s insurance company, they sounded respectful and genuinely sorry for the harm and losses suffered. So, many accident victims also fall victim to this false sense of security and confidence that the insurance company is working to help them. The truth is that insurance companies are working to make a profit, nothing more. Only your LA Injury Attorney is tasked with the legal obligation to work with no motivation other than your best interest.
Our Experts Are Ready To Fight For 100% Negligence
As a comparative negligence state, California drivers can be found to share the fault that caused an accident. Unfortunately, many car drivers will swear that a motorcycle was speeding or that the rider was operating the bike unsafely. These are, in a few cases, honest mistakes by uneducated car operators. However, more often, it is a driver trying to shovel some of the liability off on a motorcycle rider.
At LA Injury Attorneys, our caring staff is well-educated on the laws that apply to bike operators and what is considered safe and responsible riding. Our attorneys will work tirelessly to ensure you receive the total compensation that is owed to you to cover all your losses and expenses related to your motorcycle accident that was caused by someone else.
The Time Limit To File A Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit
The time limit imposed by the Statute of Limitations to file a personal injury motorcycle accident lawsuit in California is typically two years from the date of the incident. It is critical to understand that if the case is not filed with the court by that time, the victim loses the right to seek compensation for the injuries and losses as a result of the accident. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the exceptional and compassionate team at LA Injury Attorneys today to determine the time remaining to pursue legal action in a personal injury case.
