Glendale Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycles are a thrilling way to get around, and a bike is one of the best ways to get around Glendale. Still, motorcyclists are all too aware of the dangers they face when they head out on the roads. With only a helmet and a few basic items of protective gear, bikers are at great risk of sustaining serious injuries when they are involved in a crash. Motorcyclists can file a claim to recover compensation for their injuries, but these claims are not easy to file, especially when trying to recover from severe injuries. A Glendale motorcycle accident lawyer can handle all aspects of your claim and help you recover the full damages you need.

While a crash between two passenger vehicles may sometimes be minor, that is never the case when a collision involves a motorcycle. Even the smallest of accidents between another vehicle and a motorcycle will result in the biker incurring some of the most severe injuries.

The insurance company covering the negligent party will be held accountable for paying a full settlement that will fully cover the cost of these injuries, so they are likely to fight back against these claims. They will make many arguments to try and reduce, deny, or delay these claims and keep more of their profits for themselves. A lawyer will refute these claims and hold the insurer accountable for paying the full damages you need to recover.

Bikers will also face unique challenges when filing a claim. Drivers and insurance companies often view motorcyclists as reckless people that operate their vehicle in a dangerous manner. Again, this is not true as motorcyclists are well aware of the dangers they face and so, they typically operate their bike in a very safe manner. A lawyer will educate the insurer and the court, if necessary, to prove this untruth so bikers can recover the fair settlement they deserve.

Lane splitting is the practice of a motorcyclist driving in between two lanes of slowed or stopped traffic. California is the only state in the nation that does not prohibit lane splitting. Still, this is often a dangerous practice for bikers.

Many drivers do not know about lane splitting and so, they may not watch for bikers when they are changing lanes, and end up causing a serious accident. Drivers also sometimes believe this practice is against the law even though it is not and so, they may argue the biker was negligent. A lawyer will also refute these claims and use the law to support your claim.
