Costa Mesa Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Motorcyclists and bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as cars and trucks on most streets in Costa Mesa, but riders are disproportionately at risk for serious injury from crashes involving cars and trucks. Today’s vehicles are well-equipped with technologically advanced safety systems that protect drivers and passengers in the event of a collision.

Motorcycles and bicycles have also seen significant technological advances, but in a collision, their risk for serious injury or death far outweighs that of drivers and passengers in cars and trucks. The best drivers can be ill-informed or even cavalier about the rights of motorcyclists and bicyclists. Even well-intentioned and well-trained drivers can fail to see a motorcycle or bicycle where disastrous consequences can occur.

Road rage or extreme negligence by the driver of the car or truck is often cited as the cause of the crash. In the event of a motorcycle or bicycle accident, the importance of representation by a legal team that is experienced in personal injury and this type of accident cannot be overemphasized. The injuries sustained can be life-threatening and may involve:

• long hospital stays
• crushing medical bills
• permanent injuries
• pain and suffering

For insurance companies and individuals guilty of negligence, it is a financial nightmare if they are compelled to pay large sums for damages to the victim. Needless to say, they will fight to mitigate these damages and often look for ways to blame the victim with expert witnesses and inaccurate presentation of the facts.

The injuries sustained can lead to a lifetime of medical expenses that are difficult to imagine and you may be entitled to damages for pain and suffering impacting you and your family that only a well-trained legal team can begin to calculate.

The laws surrounding traffic accidents involving motorcycle and bicycle crashes are complex. The best way to protect the victim’s rights and ensure fair compensation for injuries is with the help of attorneys well-versed in this area of the law.
