Motorcycle Accident Lawyer San Francisco

San Francisco Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Motorcycle accident law is a specialized area, and the Anna Dubrovsky Law Group has an excellent reputation for handling these cases. We have obtained settlements exceeding a million dollars and are equipped to deal with the complexities involved.

Motorcycle Accident Negligence

If you’ve been injured while riding a motorcycle, you may face physical pain, emotional distress, and financial hardship. Most motorcycle accidents are caused by other parties, but insurance companies often blame the victim. There’s a common bias against motorcyclists, and they are often discriminated against in accident cases.

Liability or fault for causing an accident can be divided among responsible parties, impacting the percentage of compensation each must pay. For example, in a three-vehicle collision, if the other drivers are equally responsible, they each cover half of the damages.

Even when initial police reports determine that the motorcyclist was at fault, we have successfully proven otherwise and obtained compensation for our clients. At the Anna Dubrovsky Law Group, Inc., our San Francisco motorcycle accident lawyers have extensive experience representing injured riders and holding other motorists accountable for their actions. We are skilled at investigating motorcycle accident claims, determining fault, and pursuing all available remedies for our clients.

Damages from Negligence

Compensation can include:

  • Economic Damages: Medical bills, future treatment, property damage, lost income
  • Non-economic Damages: Pain and suffering, loss of consortium
  • Punitive Damages: For malicious or egregious behavior

Options for financial recovery include filing claims with other motorists’ insurers, suing other motorists, or filing claims with your own insurer if the other party is uninsured or underinsured.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Other motorists can contribute to motorcycle accidents in various ways, including:

  • Failing to Obey Traffic Laws: Not stopping at red lights, speeding, or failing to comply with traffic laws.
  • Failing to Grant Right-of-Way: Cutting off riders or not granting them the right-of-way due to inexperience, distraction, or intentional defiance.
  • Driving While Impaired: Drunk or drugged driving impairs judgment, perception, and reaction times, increasing accident risk.
  • Driving While Distracted or Exhausted: Similar impairments to drunk driving, leading to higher collision risks.
  • Reckless Driving: Aggressive behaviors like tailgating, cutting off, or speeding can cause accidents.
Frequently Asked Questions
