Have You Been in a Motorcycle Accident?

While any accident has the potential to be serious and even fatal, motorcycle accidents can be much worse. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, we can help.

The Law Offices of Geoff Rill are experienced attorneys that represent clients in a variety of motorcycle accident cases, ranging from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries to wrongful death lawsuits.

Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Attorney

A motorcycle accident is a traumatic experience, even if you come out of one without any injuries. Your motorcycle may be totaled or have significant damage, and you may end up with a serious injury months or weeks later.

Your attorney makes sure that the case facts are represented truthfully and evaluate your eligibility for compensation for any injuries you may have suffered. After a motorcycle accident, your focus should be first and foremost on your recovery.

Our motorcycle accident attorneys can help victims throughout Southern California with the following:

  • Gathering information like police reports, physical evidence, medical documents, and more to get an accurate picture of what happened.

  • Negotiating with insurance companies and handling all paperwork and follow-up.

  • Seeking compensation for damages as well as serious injuries, reimbursement for lost wages, medical expenses, and more.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

Compared to cars and trucks, motorcycles are relatively small and can be hard to see. While drivers are aware of other vehicles on the road, they may not be as conscious of motorcycles. As a result, accidents happen more frequently.

Some of the most common reasons motorcycle accidents occur include:

  • Drunk driving

  • Road hazards

  • Texting and driving

  • Cars making left-hand turns

  • Speeding or aggressive maneuvers
