Our office represents clients in San Diego County, Southern California, and throughout the entire state of California who have suffered severe injuries or from a motorcycle accident.

Motorcycle accident cases may seem like automobile accidents, but they are much different. Witnesses tend to be biased when describing a motorcycle drivers' actions. While a certain amount of bias exists in all cases, a motorcycle rider faces greater bias than a car driver. For example, witnesses are not good estimators of speed and distance. Witnesses typically overestimate the speed of a motorcycle. Moreover, witnesses alse simply do not like motorcycles for a variety of reasons and voice their dislike in their bias.

Lay witnesses are not the only ones biased against motorcycles. Police officers investigating an accident often exhibit bias against motorcyle riders. After an officer has recorded his opinions in a report, it is very difficult to change that opinion. Moreover, police reports are often the first resource used by accident reconstructionists.

Due to the inherent bias against motorcyclists, it is very important to have an experienced lawyer and investigator hired early on to complete their investigation before evidence disappears or is forgotten.

Also motorcylists are also usually more seriously injured than auto accident victims. Road rash, skin grafting, and severe burns, even while wearing road leather, cause longer recovery times and increase the likelihood of infection.
