Insurance companies often unfairly blame motorcyclists. Learn how California law protects injured riders and what evidence strengthens your case — for victims in Los Angeles.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on Los Angeles roads. Even when another driver is clearly at fault, insurers frequently argue that the rider was speeding, lane-splitting unsafely, or somehow responsible.
California follows pure comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault — your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Helmet use may affect damages arguments, but it does not automatically bar recovery.
After a motorcycle crash:
• Get medical care immediately
• Document the scene and your injuries with photos
• Obtain the police report
• Avoid recorded statements to insurers
• Speak with a Los Angeles motorcycle accident attorney
