Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can be especially severe, as the rider is exposed to the elements and has little protection. Motorcyclists are also much more likely to be injured in a crash, as they are not protected by a large metal frame like vehicle occupants. Being hit by a car or truck can be fatal for motorcyclists, and many who survive will be left with serious injuries, including permanent disabilities.

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit is typically two years from the date of the accident. However, this time-frame can vary depending on specific circumstances, such as if the accident involved a government vehicle or if you were a minor at the time of the accident. Consulting with an attorney as soon as possible ensures you don't miss the deadline.
In a motorcycle accident case, you may be able to recover various types of damages, including:
- Medical expenses: past and future medical bills, including hospital stays, surgery, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages: income lost due to missed work, as well as potential future earning capacity
- Property damage: repair or replacement costs for your motorcycle and other damaged property
- Pain and suffering: compensation for physical and emotional distress
- Other expenses: legal fees, rental car fees, towing costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses
Yes, even if you were not wearing a helmet during the accident, you may still be able to recover damages. However, the defense may argue that your failure to wear a helmet contributed to your injuries, which could impact the amount of compensation you receive. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney can help you navigate this complex issue.
At Atoyan Law, we offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee basis for motorcycle accident cases. This means that you don't pay us anything unless we secure compensation for your injuries or losses. Our fees are a percentage of the settlement or verdict, so you don't have to worry about upfront costs or hourly fees.
