California Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Finding the best motorcycle accident attorney in California is no easy task; many firms claim to be the "Top Rated Motorcycle Accident Law Firm" and "The Most Experienced Motorcycle Lawyers in California" enticing many seriously injured riders into having to endure a less-than impressive experience. Driving down the freeway there are countless billboards trying to influence your decision, but the truth is that many riders want a different experience, one that is geared towards getting them what they need, when they need it. The only way that you are going to find the right firm is by finding out what YOU need from your lawyer and making sure that your attorney's client satisfaction history, and success rate, passes your test.
Motorcycle accident victims are not the same as car accident victims; more often than not a rider experiences catastrophic injuries when involved in an accident and are no longer able to fulfill their responsibilities or accomplish many of their goals. BISNAR | CHASE partners, John Bisnar and Brian Chase, work tirelessly to improve their client's experience and their high client satisfaction rate retains our position as one of the most recognized firms in the nation. We hold ourselves to the highest standards because at the end of the day, we are not just getting you money, we are helping you put you and your family's lives back together.
California Motorcycle Accidents and Statistics
California is not the safest state for motorcycle riders, it's not even close. According to the 2009 California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 383 people were killed and 10,479 were injured as a result of California motorcycle accidents. Numbers like these make riders think twice and leave riders on edge.
No matter where you go in California you are bound to find an intersection that was host to a serious-injury motorcycle collision. In July of 2011, Thomas Michael Skelly was travelling down Superior Avenue in Costa Mesa when the driver of a Jeep that was heading north turned left. The Jeep pulled ahead of Skelly's motorcycle and the vehicles collided head-on. Skelly was immediately transported to a nearby trauma center.
In many cases it is impossible to avoid a motorcycle collision, even if you are a police officer. In July of 2011, a motorcycle officer was struck by a car making a left at Harbor Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue in Anaheim, California. The officer was rushed to the hospital to receive care for his life-threatening injuries.
How Our Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in California Can Help
Too often, victims of California motorcycle collisions become aware that they need a new attorney, but by that time they feel it is already too late to find a better lawyer and they don't want to pay new costs. Our firm will take on your case for no additional fees, and without any work on your part. If you have yet to find an attorney, we will get started right away and provide you with everything you need to get back on your feet. By signing with our firm you will receive countless benefits, but here are a few:
- We will negotiate your property damage. You won't have to worry about the insurance adjuster taking advantage of you. Adjusters cringe when they see our name on your file giving us the negotiating power to settle your motorcycle's value for top dollar. Adjusters know our firm, and they don't want to make things more difficult.
- We will find out the defendant's policy immediately, so you can know what to expect. In a motorcycle accident lawsuit, the amount of money you can receive depends on how much the defendant's (person who ran into you) insurance policy allows. We will advise you of their policy limits as soon as we are allowed access, this way you know how much you can receive.
- We will get you reimbursed for your lost wages and out of pocket expenses. If you have missed work or had to pay additional costs as a result of your motorcycle injuries, many times they can be reimbursed. We will explore every possible option for getting you the money you need to pay your bills.
- We will go to court for you. Something that many firms won't tell you is that they do not regularly go to court, they are in the business of settling cases, not going to trial for them. If the cases don't settle, many times they will refer those cases to us because we have a proven trial track record.
- We will do our part to prevent future motorcycle injuries and deaths. Some firms just talk the talk, we walk the walk; not only do we provide services to riders due to driver's negligence, but we also take cases for auto manufacturer negligence. If the manufacturer of a motorcycle neglected to make the bike safe, victims turn to us. We take these auto manufacturing giants to court and put our firm on the line for you.
