Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Sacramento
Serious Lawyers for Serious Accident Claims
According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Authority, an astounding 80% of crashes involving a motorcycle result in injury or death, compared to the 20% injury rate for auto collisions. Since 2016, the fatality rates for motorcycle collisions averages close to 60%.
Victims of motorcycle collisions often suffer highly traumatic injuries. Sometimes catastrophic injuries happen because of defects in the motorcycle itself. Whatever the cause, such injuries leave a tidal wave of hospital bills, therapy bills, and other expenses in their wake.

COMMON CAUSES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
When dealing with a motorcycle incident claim, it is helpful to have an attorney who understands the topic inside and out. Our attorneys have helped multiple motorcycle collision victims throughout the years. We know the factors that play a role in such cases. One thing we have learned: although motorcyclists can and do make errors, collisions often happen because drivers violate a biker’s right-of-way. Bad driver conduct includes:
- Making a left turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle
- Pulling out from a driveway, alleyway, or side street into a motorcyclist’s path
- Changing lanes without double-checking blind spots
- Following or passing too closely
- Opening a car door without checking for approaching motorcyclists or bicyclists
- Just failing to see the motorcycle because of driver inattention or carelessness
As every motorcyclist knows, their bikes are more likely to slip under a driver’s radar or have their speed underestimated. We understand how these kinds of collisions happen and use this knowledge to build and support a client’s claim.
WE HANDLE COMPLEX MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CLAIMS
When a motorcycle and a car collide, it is obvious who is likely to lose. Not only are vehicles much bigger, but they also provide more protection for drivers and passengers. Motorcyclists do not have that kind of protection and can be injured in a variety of ways, including from impact with the vehicle itself, when their bike lands on top of them, or when they are thrown from it.
As a result, catastrophic injuries are common after motorcycle collisions. If you are filing a claim after being permanently disabled, you need an attorney who understands how to ensure you receive the proper medical care for as long as it is required. Our team works with medical professionals and other experts to ensure we understand the full extent of injuries to inform claims of compensation. Motorcycle collision victims will deal with the challenges and damages they sustained for years after the collision. Most insurers will not offer to compensate for such losses on their own, so your attorney must know where to look and how to advocate for you.
Our team can help you recover compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Future medical needs
- Rehabilitation/therapy
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Disfigurement
- Accommodations and assistive devices
- Household or personal aid
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
Often, the costs that arise right after a collision are a small percentage of the amount the victim will end up paying for their injuries. Therefore, even if a settlement offer seems generous, be sure you talk to an attorney before accepting a check or signing any documents. Our team at Dreyer Babich Buccola Wood Campora can help you understand what a fair settlement looks like and build a strategy to advocate for you.
FROM BIKE DEFECTS TO COLLISIONS, WE HAVE SEEN IT ALL
Here are a few of the motorcycle accident cases Dreyer Babich Buccola Wood
Campora has handled:
• Kickstand catches on the ground — Our client was riding around
a curve when the kickstand of his motorcycle snagged on the ground, causing
him to lose control. He suffered an injury to his leg that required several
surgeries to repair. Our law firm argued that a product defect and negligent
maintenance led to the accident, and we obtained $2.8 million for our client.
• Bike strikes hoses that fell from truck — Mr. Hernandez was
riding his motorcycle in Sacramento when he suddenly encountered several
concrete hoses that fell from the back of a truck. The crash injured his
back, shoulder, and thumb, requiring several surgeries and six months
off work. We obtained a $625,000 settlement for him.
• Crash involving right-of-way violation — In this case, the
defendant violated our client’s right of way and collided with his
motorcycle. Our law firm conducted an extensive liability investigation
and efficiently settled the claim for $300,000.
• Crash on freeway — Our client was “lane splitting”
on a freeway when an inattentive driver hit him, causing a partial loss
of vision in one eye. We recovered over $1,000,0000 in the settlement
of that case.
