We Provide Personalized Support and Aggressive Legal Advocacy
Our law firm is not a case mill. We limit the number of clients we take so we can give everyone the care, support, and attention they need after an accident. You will always work directly with your attorney, and unlike other firms, we do not refer out cases; we try them. If a lawsuit is what it takes to get full and fair compensation, we will not back down.
Our Van Nuys personal injury lawyers roll up their sleeves, get to work, and win. If you or someone you love sustained injuries in a motorcycle collision, we can do the following:
- Investigate – We will conduct a crash investigation and collect case evidence that we will use to identify liable parties and prove they acted negligently.
- Negotiate – We will identify all of your damages, file an insurance claim, and demand fair compensation from the insurance company. We will aggressively negotiate for maximum compensation while also protecting you from bad-faith tactics or pressure to settle for less than your claim is worth.
- Litigate – We are trial-tested and prepared to file a lawsuit and represent you in civil court if necessary.
We Fight Hard for the Money You Deserve
When a motorcycle crash occurs, there is nothing to shield the motorcyclist from injuries. Unlike vehicle occupants, riders do not have seatbelts, airbags, or a cab to protect them. Riders can suffer severe and catastrophic injuries, leading to significant medical damages, time off from work, and other expenses.
If a negligent driver caused your crash, they should pay, not you or your family. Our attorneys will fight tirelessly to secure the money you need to care for yourself now and in the future. In general, we can seek compensation for the following:
- Current and ongoing medical treatment, including surgeries, hospitalizations, physical therapy, mobility aids and medical equipment, long-term nursing, and attendant care
- Lost wages and benefits, including income from missed work and compensation for your lost future earning capacity if you cannot return to your job due to a permanent or disabling injury
- Pain and suffering, including chronic and severe pain, scarring, disfigurement, stress, depression, anxiety, loss of enjoyment, and reduced quality of life
- Wrongful death of a loved one, including medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of the deceased’s financial support, and the loss of your family member’s care, companionship, society, and guidance
KJT Law Group’s case results include over $100 million in settlements and verdicts for accident victims and their family members. Call today for a free consultation to learn more about your options for recovering motorcycle accident damages.
Our Attorneys Will Prove a Liable Party Caused Your Crash
A party is liable for an accident if their negligent actions caused the collision. Negligence is based on the following four elements:
- Duty of care – When driving, motorists have a duty to obey traffic laws, operate their vehicles safely, and avoid causing accidents.
- Breach of duty – A driver breaches their duty of care when they act in a way most others would not judge as reasonable or necessary. Violating traffic laws, such as drinking and driving and texting and driving, is a breach.
- Causation – Causation shows how the liable party’s breach of duty led to your accident and injury. For example, our lawyers may demonstrate that a motorist ran a red light, hit your bike, and broke your leg because they were texting and driving.
- Damages – Damages are what your accident and injury cost you financially, emotionally, and physically. We establish your damages using bills, receipts, estimates of your expected future expenses, and testimony.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in California
According to the most recent data from the UC Berkeley Safe Transportation and Education Center, 3,255 people were seriously injured, and 565 people were killed in motorcycle accidents in California in 2021.
Some of the most common causes of motorcycle collisions in 2021 included speeding, improper turns, and failure to yield the right of way. In addition, 74 percent of motorcycle crashes happened in urban areas, like Van Nuys, where cars and bikes often share the roadway in close proximity to each other.
Other accident causes include:
- Tailgating
- Illegally passing or not allowing enough space when passing
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Distracted driving
- Reckless or aggressive driving
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
You Have a Limited Time to Pursue a Motorcycle Accident Case
According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), drivers must have a minimum of $30,000/$60,000 in bodily injury liability insurance and $15,000 in property damage liability to pay for an accident if they are at fault. You should file an auto insurance claim against the driver who caused your crash immediately.
If you must take legal action to secure compensation, CCP § 335.1 allows two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. If the statute of limitations expires, the court will likely refuse your case, and you will lose your leverage over the insurance company. We can help you get started on your case before time runs out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accident Cases
What if the at-fault driver fled the scene in Van Nuys?
Hit-and-run accidents are traumatic, but victims may still recover compensation. Uninsured motorist coverage and other legal avenues may apply even if the driver is never identified. At KJT Law Group, our legal team helps victims explore every available option to secure financial recovery.
Can road hazards cause a valid motorcycle accident claim in California?
Yes. Poor road conditions, debris, uneven pavement, or unsafe construction zones can cause serious motorcycle accidents. Government agencies or contractors may be liable under California law. Our motorcycle accident lawyers investigate roadway conditions and pursue claims against responsible entities.
Does not wearing a helmet affect my case in California?
While helmet use is required in California, not wearing one does not automatically bar recovery. It may affect certain damages, but negligent drivers can still be held accountable. KJT Law Group works to minimize fault arguments and protect riders’ rights.
Can lane-splitting accidents lead to compensation in California?
Yes. Lane splitting is legal in California, and fault depends on driver behavior and surrounding conditions. Motorcyclists are entitled to the same legal protections as other motorists. Our motorcycle accident attorneys fight back against unfair bias and insurance tactics.
