California Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

The state of California is a great place to own a motorcycle. The climate usually lends itself well to being outside, and gridlock on the freeways can often be avoided. With the increased number of motorcyclists within the state, however, there also comes the increased likelihood of motorcycle accidents. This is partly because of the increased number of motorcyclists on the road in the state, and also partly because of a lack of driver awareness. For instance, many drivers may not realize that a motorcycle demands a greater braking distance than a car, and will follow too closely. Distracted drivers may be another problem as well, with the proliferation of people using cell phones while driving. All too often, the driver of the other vehicle interferes with the motorcyclist's right of way. Motorcycle accidents are much more likely to cause serious or fatal injuries to the cyclists than to the car's passengers.

At Demas & Rosenthal, we have years of experience as California motorcycle attorneys; we can provide the legal assistance you need to prove driver negligence and win your claim for damages.

Since motorcycles generally do not provide a comparable level of protection from collisions as a car or truck does, many cases brought to court for motorcycle accidents may involve a need for extensive medical care. People injured on a motorcycle may face injuries that will remain with them for an extended period of time – if not for the rest of their lives – and we recognize that your compensation should include claims for continued care, loss of wages, and other types of damages.

Moreover, your motorcycle accident may not have been caused by another driver. Road hazards may also be to blame, particularly those that aren't clearly marked. Loose gravel, road construction, slick pavement, and other dangers can present themselves suddenly. In some cases, there's a “perfect storm” of factors: your bike skids across gravel and then the car that's been following you too closely hits you. A motorcyclist is lucky to come out of these circumstances without loss of life or limb. Manufacturing defects or design flaws may also be to blame. Similarly, if your helmet proves to be defective, the manufacturer may be to blame. However, if you were not wearing a helmet and a helmet would have prevented your injuries, it's possible that an involved driver's liability may be more limited in your case.

At Demas & Rosenthal, we have decades of combined experience representing California motorcycle accident cases such as yours. We offer superior attention and aggressive positioning from the very beginning so that you can get the compensation you'll need.
