Southern California has a disproportionately high number of motorcycle riders, mostly because gas prices are so high and the weather is so mild. However, the high number of riders does not change the fact that many motorists do not properly look out for motorcycles. On a side note, the high demand for motorcycles in California often encourages companies to take dangerous shortcuts during the production process to get as many bikes into as many stores as possible.
Most riders who have gone down, and all motorcycle riders go down sooner or later, hear tortfeasors (negligent drivers) say something like “I never even saw you” or “You came out of nowhere.” Tortfeasors usually say these things to deflect blame for an accident away from their negligent driving and onto the victim.
But to the Motorcycle Injury Lawyers in California from the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim, these statements are excuses at best, or, more likely, admissions of FTY (failure to yield) liability. Motorists have a duty to share the road and be mindful of everyone else, including motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. When drivers negligently cause motorcycle crashes, the victims need and deserve substantial compensation for their serious injuries.
Fundamentally, a failure to look out for motorcyclists, as outlined above, and outright contempt for riders usually cause motorcycle accidents. Many drivers hesitate to share the road with people they see as second-class drivers. Furthermore, the motorcycle prejudice is still strong. Many people erroneously believe that all motorcycle riders are reckless thugs who deliberately ignore the rules of the road and operate recklessly without thinking of the consequences to others.

Many accident victims hesitate to file legal actions, especially if a health insurance company pays most or all of their medical bills. They believe that a lawsuit does not change anything, and to some extent, they’re right.
Although a Motorcycle Crash Attorney cannot turn back the clock and change what happened in the past, an attorney can do the next best thing, which is to help motorcycle accident victims face uncertain futures with more hope and confidence.
Compensation in a motorcycle accident case usually includes money to replace out-of-pocket losses, such as medical bills. In most cases, these bills are truly out-of-pocket losses. Most insurance policies exclude injury-related claims. When insurance company auditors discover the reason for payment, which they will eventually do, the insurance company often demands immediate reimbursement, putting victims in an even more precarious position.
Compensation in motorcycle crash claims also includes money for pain and suffering and other noneconomic losses. Legally, damages in a negligence case must fully compensate victims. In other words, they must be in the same position they were in prior to the crash, both physically and emotionally. Motorcycle crash victims should also consider legal action to uphold the rights of all motorcycle riders. When drivers pay compensation, usually in the form of higher post-accident premiums, they learn the hard way that they must look out for and respect the rights of motorcycle riders.
