Why Motorcycle Cases Need a Strong Advocate
Motorcyclists are frequently unfairly blamed, even when they’re not at fault. These cases require a lawyer who understands how to:
- Reconstruct the accident and gather scene evidence
- Address common insurance company biases
- Calculate the true impact of long-term injuries
- Handle wrongful death claims when a crash turns fatal
We take the time to understand your story — and we know how to make insurers listen.
Common Motorcycle Crash Scenarios
Most motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers who fail to see or yield to motorcyclists. We handle cases involving:
- Drivers turning left across a rider’s path
- Sudden lane changes or merges
- Rear-end collisions
- Unsafe road conditions (debris, potholes)
- Dooring incidents
- Distracted or impaired driving
These accidents often result in serious, lasting injuries. You shouldn’t have to face that recovery—or the insurance companies—alone.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs
What should I do after a motorcycle accident in California?
Call 911 if anyone is hurt, and try to move to a safe location. Get medical attention, even if you feel okay — injuries can surface later. Take photos of the scene, your bike, and any injuries if you’re able. Exchange information with the other driver and avoid admitting fault. Then, contact a lawyer before speaking with insurance companies.
Are motorcyclists treated unfairly in accident claims?
Yes — often. Insurance companies may assume the motorcyclist was speeding or taking risks, even when that’s not the case. At York Law, we push back against those stereotypes and make sure your side of the story is heard.
What are common causes of motorcycle accidents?
- Drivers turning left across a rider’s path
- Unsafe lane changes
- Following too closely
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Poor road conditions
- Dooring (car doors opening into traffic)
Many of these accidents happen because drivers fail to see or yield to motorcyclists.
What injuries are common in motorcycle crashes?
Without the protection of a car, even low-speed crashes can cause serious injuries, including:
- Broken bones
- Road rash or deep lacerations
- Head trauma (even with a helmet)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Internal injuries
- Amputations or permanent disability
Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
Yes, though it can affect the value of your case. California requires helmets by law, and the insurance company may try to reduce your compensation. Still, you may be entitled to damages — and we can help build a strong argument on your behalf.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?
You typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. However, the sooner you start the process, the better — especially to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
How much does it cost to hire York Law?
There are no upfront fees. We only get paid if we win your case — it’s that simple.
