As a motorcyclist, a person put themselves in a vulnerable position on the road. With little to protection around your body, many motorcycle accidents end in severe injuries that require long term medical treatment. All types of injuries, whether physical or mental, should be addressed and treated properly. The cost of the treatment you receive, or any other type of cost that are incurred from an accident, is not something you should have to pay if they were caused due to the negligence of another.

Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents:

+ Distracted driving: Drivers who are on the phone are less likely to notice a motorcyclist. It is not until they hear the loud sound of the motorcycle that they look up from the phone and start looking for the where the motorcycle is.
+ Reckless Driving: Many reckless drivers that tailgate, swerve in and out of lanes, and ignore traffic signs and lights are not inclined to hit a motorcyclist.
+Lane splitting : Lane splitting is legal in California. However, it is the job of the motorcylist to ensure it is safe to do so. This can become difficult because many of the drivers on the road tend to black motorcyclists from doing so.

What We are expert of

Frequently Asked Questions

As a claim or lawsuit can be very time consuming and difficult, there is no harm in getting a free consultation about your case. Our attorney is able to explain the rules of the state of California and help you decide whether it would be better to go ahead with a claim or file a lawsuit.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time of the accident?

California law requires motorcyclists to wear helmets. If you decided not to wear a helmet, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries but it is best to consult with a personal injury attorney so you can get a better understanding of what to do in your situation.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

You are able to still recover compensation for the damages that occurred during the accident. However, the compensation will be reduced. The reduction depends on what percentage of fault you are found at.

How can a motorcycle attorney help me with my case?

At Coria Law, we prioritize treatment of our clients because it is important that all injuries are addressed and cared for properly. Our office works with many medical doctors and facilities across Southern California. With the resources we have, we are able to get you into all types of medical treatment needed right away.

Secondly, we take on the responsibility of obtaining compensation from the responsible party. Many insurance companies and at-fault parties will low-ball victims without attorneys. Surprisingly, many people take those offers because they do not fully know what their case/situation is worth. An attorney would be able to evaluate your case and fight for a fair compensation.

How much does an attorney charge for their services?

At Coria Law, we work on a contingency basis. Thus, if we don’t win, you don’t pay! This is provided to all of our clients in writing upon them hiring our firm.
