What Is the Claims Process for Motorcycle Accidents?
When a motorcycle accident occurs, you’re looking for answers. Your physical injuries may be overwhelming, and your bills are piling up. You need help. Our law firm helps victims and their families, and we’re here to help you.
The process for motorcycle accident compensation begins with your free case review. We start by listening to you. From there, we can explain your options, and you can decide to hire us as your personal injury attorney.
As your personal injury attorney, we will investigate your motorcycle crash. We look at who is responsible for paying damages. Then, we explore what your losses are and what you can claim based on the law. This is often depicted as the following:
- Duty of care: The legal responsibility of the defendant
- Breach of duty: The moment the defendant violated their legal responsibilities
- Causation: The accident and injuries that occurred as a result of their violation
- Damages: The physical, emotional, and financial burdens you now have
We prove these elements of negligence with evidence. There could be a wide range of evidence we discover, but the most common things we collect are the following:
- Police report
- Medical records
- Accident scene photos
- Photos of your injuries
- Dashcam, traffic cam, and business surveillance
- Eyewitness statements
- Expert testimony
- Financial records
You can also augment your case by keeping a journal of your recovery, such as the treatment you received and your progress.
We present the evidence we collect with your demands for compensation in a personal injury claim to the liable party’s insurance company. Our lawyers take over any contact with the insurance company and continue to pursue your case until you have a fair settlement offer. If we cannot reach an agreement, we will take your case to court and present our arguments there.

Can You Receive Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident?
Yes, motorcyclists have the right to compensation when they are injured by the negligent actions of others. Violating a traffic law is the most common reason for legal liability. Other drivers need to watch out for motorcyclists and allow them to use the roads. Motorcyclists may not be harassed, and drivers must always take traffic conditions into account.
Most motorcycle accident claims are based on negligence. Negligence is failing to exercise reasonable care and caution. Examples of negligence can include:
- Failure to check blind spots
- Distracted driving
- Failure to yield
- Tailgating
- Improper lane changes
- Disregarding traffic lights and signs
- Driving under the influence
- Opening car doors in traffic
Let our personal injury lawyers evaluate all the grounds for compensation for the motorcycle accident. Under California law, if you’re injured in a motorcycle accident because of the negligence of another party, you may receive compensation. Our accident attorneys will manage the legal process and customize a plan for your case.
Are Motorcycle Cases the Same as Other Vehicle Accident Claims?
Motorcyclists often wonder if they’re going to be treated fairly, and most often, they are not. For one thing, the insurance company will want to pay as little as possible. If the case goes to trial, there may be people on the jury who have never ridden a motorcycle and are biased against them.
Rest assured that motorcyclists have the same rights on the road as other drivers. Damages are not limited in any way because the victim was riding a motorcycle. The accident victim may claim the full extent of their damages, including pain and suffering.
Our motorcycle accident lawyers serving Murrieta will ensure that you are being treated fairly for your personal injury claim. Throughout the process, we will present the facts, evidence, and the law to obtain the fair compensation you, as a victim, deserve.
It’s free to speak with us and learn the value of your case today.
Call Us NowWhat Is Your Murrieta Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?
Most accident victims assume that there is some average settlement value to their claim when, instead, they should be looking at their claim for its unique qualities. There is no set value for every type of accident. Each accident settlement should be measured based on the circumstances of the case.
Also, don’t let the insurance company tell you what your claim is worth. Again, they want to pay as little as possible to protect their company.
Before accepting any settlement offer, you should speak with our personal injury attorneys. Our lawyers will review the evidence they collect in your case and compile a list of damages that accurately reflects the value of your case. Some of the damages you could receive compensation for may include the following:
- Medical bills: The medical expenses for your recovery, including doctor’s visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and therapy
- Lost income: Your lost wages while you recovered and any tips, bonuses, and benefits you may have lost
- Reduced earning potential: If you can no longer work as you did before the accident, you may claim the difference
- Property damage: Any repairs or replacement of your ride as well as personal belongings, like your cell phone, helmet, gear, and clothing
Those examples are types of economic losses. However, the ways you’ve been impacted by the accident could affect your quality of life. These non-economic damages may include such losses as:
- Pain and suffering: Your physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish, such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), flashbacks and depression
- Loss of enjoyment of life: if you can no longer do the activities or hobbies you once enjoyed
- Loss of consortium: for the relationships that have been impacted by the accident.
Your motorcycle accident claim may include both economic and non-economic losses. There are other factors that may impact the amount that you receive. Our lawyers will work on your behalf to claim the amount that you truly deserve.
Call Before the Statute of Limitations Expires on Your Murrieta Accident Case
Under CCP § 335.1, you generally have two years after the accident to file a lawsuit. If this deadline passes, you may lose your right to sue, the courts may not accept your lawsuit, and you will be forced to accept whatever offer the insurance companies give.
Don’t let this happen to you. Call Sargent Law Firm Injury Lawyers today and protect your right to fair compensation.
