Haffner Law helps the victims of accidents and bad faith insurance obtain the compensation and justice they deserve.

Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

In addition to your physical wellbeing, your financial future is immediately in peril when you have a motorcycle accident. For help getting your life back, partner with a Los Angeles motorcycle crash lawyer.

Even if you’re wearing your helmet and driving safely, being involved in a motorcycle crash puts you at risk for catastrophic injuries. As a motorcyclist, you shouldn’t have to trade your safety to be able to enjoy the freedom of the open road.

Unfortunately, negligent car and truck drivers make the nightmare of a motorcycle crash a reality for many riders each year. If you’re worrying about how to fix your wrecked bike and the medical bills piling up after your crash, you’re probably wondering where you can turn for justice.

If you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle wreck and suspect that someone else is to blame, contact a Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyer at Haffner Law. While getting compensation from the at-fault party in this type of wreck won’t be easy, your lawyer will use his or her in-depth understanding of personal injury lawto help you determine whether you have a case and get you the compensation you’re owed.

Determining Negligence

One of the key factors in building a strong motorcycle injury lawsuit is figuring out exactly who was to blame for your accident. Your Los Angeles motorcycle crash lawyer will investigate, examine all the evidence, and procure witness statements to make sure you’ve named all the negligent parties to maximize your compensation.

We have experience with insurance companies that like to use stereotypes of reckless bikers weaving in and out of traffic to reduce the amount of compensation they are willing to give victims. We at Haffner Law appreciate the complexities of motorcycle law and will fight to challenge these absurd biases.

You have been injured through no fault of your own. You do not deserve to be treated this way.

Listing Your Injuries

Because we have worked with injured motorcycle drivers in the past, we understand the types of severe injuries you may be experiencing. These may include any of the following:

We empathize with you and want to ensure that you receive the compensation you’re owed under the law. We want you to concentrate on getting your life back, not fighting with stereotypes that insurance companies perpetuatein the interest of their shareholders.

Compensation for Your Motorcycle Accident

After your motorcycle accident, you may be wondering what kind of compensation you are entitled to seek. While many people think about the tangible expenses they might incur after an accident, you should also consider the various intangible benefits a personal injury lawsuit might allow you to claim.

The following are some of the intangible damages for which you may be able to seek compensation through your Los Angeles motorcycle crash claim:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
  • Social losses due to depression or disfigurement
  • Overall disinterest in life
  • Permanent mood and temperament changes

Unlike the insurance company, your attorney will recognize the unique circumstances of your case and see you as more than just a claim to be settled. You and your pain matter to us.

Of course, financial concerns will also be covered in your claim. Speak with your Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorney to see which of the following apply to your particular circumstances:

  • Loss of income or future earning potential
  • Hospitalization
  • Medical bills for doctor visits and surgical procedures
  • Physical therapy or rehabilitation needs
  • Motorcycle repair, rental car, or public transportation fees
  • Home or car accommodations made necessary after your injury or disability

Time Limits For Filing a Claim in California

States often set limits on the time frame you have to file a lawsuit after you’ve suffered any type of personal injury. In California, the statute of limitations—the legal term used to describe this time limit—gives an injured individual two years from the date of the motorcycle accident to bring a claim against any negligent parties.

Bringing your case to a Los Angeles motorcycle collision lawyer a few weeks after your accident will most likely lead to more accurate evidence and witness testimony than it would a year or more after your injury.

While thinking about a lawsuit is probably the last thing you want to do as you are trying your best to manage your pain and pick up your life where you left off before the accident, you will manage better in the long run if you bring your evidence to a lawyer sooner rather than later.

Unfortunately, if you fail to file suit within this two-year period, you essentially give up your right to file a claim at any time in the future.

Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident FAQ

The attorneys at Haffner Law have the answers to your questions about your motorcycle accident injury claim. We’ve answered some of the more common questions below, and we’re happy to answer any other queries you have.

What should I do if I discover an injury months after my motorcycle crash?

Although many of the physical injuries you can suffer in a motorcycle accident will be obvious immediately, some injuries, such as brain damage, can take months to manifest.

If that happens to you, you’ll have one year from the date you discover the injury to file a personal injury claim, according to California law. That’s a relatively small window of time to compile evidence and file all the necessary paperwork, so you’ll likely want help from a qualified attorney.

Can I file a claim if my loved one was killed in a motorcycle accident?

Under certain circumstances, you can file a wrongful death claim if your loved one is killed in a motorcycle accident. The key criteria for such a claim are that your loved one’s accident must have been caused by someone else’s negligence and you must have suffered financially or mentally as a result of your loved one’s passing.

What if the insurance company refuses to negotiate with me?

This is especially common for motorcycle accident injury claims. Insurance companies may try to dodge their responsibility to you by pointing to negative stereotypes about motorcycle riders or using another tactic.

When your insurance company denies a valid claim with no explanation, this behavior can be considered bad faith negotiating. If your insurance company won’t negotiate in good faith, you can enlist the help of an attorney to make sure your voice is heard.
