How Our Lawyers Help Motorcycle Accident Survivors in California
Here is a brief overview of the legal process for seeking personal injury compensation, including how our California motorcycle accident attorneys can make it much less stressful to recover the money you deserve:
- First, you can always call our office for a free consultation. Members of our team will explain the merits of your case and help you schedule your first meeting with one of our accident injury attorneys.
- After listening carefully to your story, our law firm can launch an investigation into your crash. Our personal injury attorneys can collect witness statements, request police reports, gather medical records, and review any available video footage or photographs.
- Once we have the strongest possible case against the at-fault party, your lawyer can file a motorcycle accident claim with their insurance company and demand a fair settlement for your injuries. KJT Law Group can handle all communications with the insurer, so you do not have to worry about being given the runaround.
- If negotiations do not work or are not a feasible option for any reason, our motorcycle injury lawyers are willing to go to trial for our clients. We can explain to the judge and jury why you deserve financial compensation so that you do not have to present your own case.
- Along the way, our motorcycle accident lawyers can send and receive all necessary paperwork. Our clients never have to fill out forms, reply to urgent letters, or figure out what kinds of materials to request.
When Should You Call Our California Motorcycle Accident Attorneys?
After a bike accident, your health should be your top priority. Call 911 before you do anything else, including calling our firm.
That said, time is of the essence when it comes to filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit. CCP § 335.1 only gives you two years to start your case. Our California motorcycle accident injury attorneys encourage you to speak with us as soon as you are medically stable so as not to waste any time in starting your case.
Damages Available to Motorcycle Injury Victims in California
Under state law, motorcycle riders have the right to pursue many types of damages, including but not limited to the following, after a collision:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of income or employment
- Disabling injuries
- Property damage
- Reduced quality of life
Compensation for Future Damages Connected to the Bike Crash
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to sustaining catastrophic injuries in a collision. Such severe injuries could include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, and disabilities. These injuries could lead to lifelong consequences, including the need for frequent medical care, chronic pain, permanent disabilities, and an inability to ever return to work.
KJT Law Group wants you to know that you have every right to expect compensation for future damages. Our law firm can fight for the total lifetime worth of your injuries, so you never have to worry about paying for your care or giving your family the things they need.

Who Owes You Damages After a California Motorcycle Crash?
That is one of the key questions that our investigations always seek to answer. It is vital to figure out who is liable—and if there is more than one liable party—so that you can get the money you need to support your family and make the fullest possible recovery.
Our motorcycle accident attorneys in California can pursue compensation from:
Reckless Drivers Who Disrespect Bikers
Even if you follow all of the advice laid out in Pages 28-31 of the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) California Motorcycle Handbook, it is not always possible to avoid a crash with a car driver who chooses to:
- Crowd bikers so that they have no room to maneuver
- Indulge in distractions rather than stay alert for motorcycles
- Ignore traffic signs or signals
- Not use their own lights and signals appropriately
- Exceed the speed limit or drive faster than is safe given environmental factors (e.g., going the speed limit while visibility is diminished in a thick fog)
Local California Governments
Whether you live in a big city like Los Angeles or a smaller community like Artesia or Hermosa Beach, your local government is responsible for managing road conditions. Our bike accident attorneys can help you hold the government responsible for accidents caused by:
- Large cracks or potholes in the road
- Debris, such as grass clippings, left in the road by a government worker
- Lack of visibility due to overgrown foliage
- Fallen, broken, or missing street signs or traffic lights
Motorcycle and Car Manufacturers and Mechanics
Did a mechanical error lead to your motorcycle accident? For example, did your bike malfunction at the worst possible time, or did the car that hit you suffer a major malfunction that caused the driver to lose control? In such cases, the vehicle’s mechanic and/or manufacturer might be to blame.
KJT Law Group is not afraid to take on any liable party, no matter how big or powerful. Our accident injury lawyers want to make California a safer place for bikers by pursuing justice after negligence-related motorcycle crashes.
