Frequently Asked Questions

Are motorcycle accident damages calculated differently?+
California treats motorcycle accidents under the same liability and damages rules as car accidents, but motorcycle riders face dramatically higher injury severity. Average motorcycle accident claim values are 3–5× car accident claim values because injuries are typically catastrophic — TBI, spinal cord, multiple fractures, road rash, amputations. Pain and suffering damages reflect the severity. Insurance companies often try to leverage anti-motorcyclist bias; we counter with strong damages presentation.
What if I wasn't wearing a helmet?+
California requires helmets under Vehicle Code § 27803. If you weren't wearing one, the carrier may try to reduce damages for head/neck injuries under comparative negligence. But helmet status doesn't bar the claim — most damages are unaffected (broken legs, road rash, internal injuries) and even head injuries can still recover the majority of damages despite helmet noncompliance. We minimize the helmet defense through expert testimony when applicable.
Is lane splitting legal in California?+
Yes — California Vehicle Code § 21658.1 explicitly authorizes lane splitting at safe speeds. Cars are required to share the road with motorcyclists who are lane splitting. Drivers who fail to check mirrors, swerve, or open doors into a lane-splitting motorcyclist are at fault. We routinely overcome 'reckless lane splitting' arguments by showing the motorcyclist was traveling at a reasonable speed for traffic conditions.
Who pays for motorcycle damage and lost income?+
The at-fault driver's auto liability policy covers your motorcycle property damage, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If liability limits are insufficient (most motorcycle injuries blow past $15,000 minimum policies), your own auto policy's UM/UIM coverage steps in. Health insurance covers medical care upfront with reimbursement rights when the case settles. We coordinate all coverage layers to maximize recovery.
What injuries are most common in California motorcycle accidents?+
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, broken legs (especially left tibia/fibula from car-on-bike T-bones), shoulder injuries, road rash with permanent scarring, and rib/internal injuries. Average medical costs exceed $50,000; surgical cases regularly exceed $200,000. Future medical needs (revision surgeries, permanent rehabilitation, scarring revisions) are often the largest damage component — we work with life-care planners to document long-term costs.
