How California motorcycle accident cases work

The legal framework — plain language.

California is the only state where lane-splitting is legal. Insurance defense lawyers reflexively try to weaponize that — arguing a rider was 'going too fast between lanes' to drag down the state law applies percentage. We know the case law on what makes lane-splitting reasonable vs unreasonable, and we counter aggressively. Helmet law is mandatory; a helmet violation does not automatically reduce your recovery.

Motorcycle Accident in Los Angeles

Where it happens in LA — and how we handle it.

LA motorcycle injury cases cluster on the 405 through the Sepulveda Pass (lane-splitting heavy), Mulholland Drive (canyon curves and speed-related single-vehicle crashes), the PCH around Topanga and Malibu, and the dense surface-street grid where left-turning cars violate the right-of-way of oncoming riders. Hospital network we work with includes UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, USC County General, and Harbor-UCLA.

We document the lane-splitting circumstances at the moment of the crash — gap width, traffic speed differential, lane position. CA case law has tightened the 'reasonable' standard; defense reflexively claims unreasonable lane-splitting to drive state law applies up. We push back with reconstruction.

Los Angeles · Common Questions

Los Angeles questions, answered.

The driver says the crash was my fault because I ride a motorcycle — is that true?

No. Riders have the same rights as any driver. Insurers lean on bias against motorcyclists to pay less — we push back with the facts of what actually happened.

My injuries are serious. Can I still recover if I wasn't wearing a helmet?

Often yes. Helmet questions don't automatically end a claim. Talk to us before you assume anything about your case.
