What are Common Injuries Sustained in Motorcycle Accidents?

Because motorcyclists have very little protection against vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds, the injuries a rider sustains can be life-changing or fatal.

Common injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents include:

Spinal cord damage

Traumatic brain injuries

Broken bones

Road rash

Loss of limb

Crush injuries

Internal organ damage

Facial injuries

Internal bleeding

Nerve damage

Leg injuries

Arm and wrist injuries

Is Lane Splitting Legal?

Lane splitting is legal in California. In fact, California is the only state that has legalized this riding practice. Lane splitting involves a motorcyclist riding between lanes of slow or stopped traffic. Unfortunately, a motorist who is not paying close attention to the road may accidentally pull out in front of a motorcyclist, resulting in a serious accident. Additionally, an inexperienced motorcyclist may end up being involved in an accident if they don’t know how to properly lane split.

What is the Statute of Limitations for Motorcycle Accident Claims?

In California, you will have two years from the date of the motorcycle accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent driver. Failure to meet this important deadline can result in your case being dismissed. This means you will be unable to recover any compensation for your accident-related losses. When you hire a motorcycle accident lawyer at Avaness Law, you can feel confident that every aspect of your case is handled, including filing your lawsuit within the statute of limitations.

What Can I Do to Strengthen My Motorcycle Accident Claim?

Contact law enforcement. When law enforcement arrives at the scene of the accident, they will create a police report, which will include important details, such as a diagram of the accident scene, a description of motorcycle damage, vehicle damage, and your injuries, and the police officer’s opinion regarding which party they believe was negligent. This document can be used when negotiating with the insurance company.

Obtain witness contact information. If anyone witnessed your accident, obtain their names and contact information. Your attorney will want to speak to them.

Seek immediate medical treatment. Even if you do not believe you were seriously injured, it’s important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident. Not only does this protect your health, but it will tie your injuries to the accident.

Notify your insurance provider. All insurance providers require their policyholders to report an accident within 24-72 hours. Failure to report an accident can result in higher premiums or a loss of coverage.

Avoid posting about your accident on social media. The insurance company may be monitoring your social media accounts looking for anything that can prove liability or disprove your claim of being severely injured in the accident.

Contact a lawyer. Contacting a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident can increase your chances of recovering a higher settlement amount. Additionally, an attorney can gather vital evidence and begin building your case quickly, before evidence is lost or destroyed. Hiring an attorney can also protect your claim and prevent the insurance company from pressuring you into accepting a lower settlement than what you deserve.
