Fighting for California Riders Injured by Negligent Drivers
The Unique Dangers of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles offer freedom and excitement, but they also leave riders exposed to severe harm when other drivers act carelessly. Without the protection of a vehicle’s frame, even minor crashes can cause catastrophic injuries. At Oakwood Legal Group, we represent riders across California who have been injured due to negligent, distracted, or reckless drivers.
Our goal is simple: to protect motorcyclists’ rights and ensure they receive fair compensation for the damage caused.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes
While every accident is unique, most motorcycle collisions are preventable and caused by driver negligence. Common factors include:
- Left-turn collisions: Drivers misjudge a rider’s speed or fail to yield.
- Unsafe lane changes: Motorcycles are often overlooked in blind spots.
- Speeding and aggressive driving: Reduced reaction times lead to devastating outcomes.
- Distracted driving: Phones, navigation systems, and in-car distractions endanger riders.
- Hazardous road conditions: Potholes, debris, or poor road design can cause serious accidents.
Regardless of the cause, our attorneys conduct thorough investigations — collecting police reports, dashcam footage, and witness statements — to establish fault and strengthen your case.
Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes frequently lead to severe and life-changing injuries. These may include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) — even with a helmet
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Fractures and crushed limbs
- Severe road rash and burns
- Internal organ injuries
These injuries often require extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term support. Our firm ensures that every cost — medical, emotional, and financial — is fully accounted for in your claim.
California Motorcycle Laws and Rider Rights
California’s laws recognize the vulnerability of motorcyclists, granting them specific rights — including lane-splitting, when performed safely. Unfortunately, misconceptions about motorcyclists can lead to unfair blame in accidents.
At Oakwood Legal Group, we fight to overcome bias and ensure that juries, insurers, and opposing attorneys understand you were the victim, not the cause.
Compensation Available for Riders
Victims of motorcycle accidents may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses (hospital bills, surgery, therapy)
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
For those who have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, our firm also represents families in wrongful death claims to secure justice and financial stability.
