Sacramento Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in California

The leading cause of motorcycle accidents is negligence on the part of other drivers. Most often, the driver of a car or truck will not see a motorcycle and may turn directly into its path, causing a collision or causing the motorcyclist to have to swerve out of the way, falling or colliding into something next to the road. Sudden lane changes and left or right-hand turns in intersections are typically the causes of a large number of motorcycle accidents throughout California.

If you have suffered injury due to a motorcycle accident, you will need an experienced Sacramento motorcycle accident attorney on your side. Your attorney can help ensure that you receive the maximum compensation amount possible by proving that you were not the cause of the accident. Determining the true cause of a motorcycle accident is how your attorney can prove your case and secure a just settlement on your behalf. 

A Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer at our firm may be able to help you, whether your motorcycle accident was caused by:

• A drunk driver
• A motorist turning into your path
• A car or truck driver changing lanes into your lane, broadsiding you
• Poor road conditions or road debris
• Mechanical failure
• A driver's inattention or reckless driving
• Any other external cause

Even if you think you may have been at fault in your accident, a lawyer can still review your case to determine whether you can file a claim to receive compensation. Even in cases where you were partially at fault, you may still be able to collect a settlement.

Determining and Proving the Cause of Your Motorcycle Accident

At our firm, we have the experience and resources to fully investigate your accident and work to determine the cause. We will take pictures of the scene, interview witnesses and review police reports in order to find evidence that proves that you were not at fault. In doing so, we will strengthen your case.
