Motorcyclists face unique dangers on the road, where even a minor collision can result in devastating injuries. Unlike car passengers protected by steel frames, airbags, and safety systems, riders are directly exposed to the full force of impact. When a motorcycle accident happens, riders often suffer severe consequences—from broken bones and road rash to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage.

Motorcycle accidents often occur due to the negligence of other road users, particularly motor vehicle drivers. Motorists are required to follow certain traffic rules and operate their vehicles safely when they don’t, serious collisions can occur.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
External factors, like debris on the road or improperly maintained pavement, may lead to an accident as well. Poor weather conditions, motorcycle defects, and improper maintenance are also common causes.
When a motorcycle accident happens, injured riders deserve justice and fair compensation—just like any other person who pursues a road accident claim. However, insurance companies often try to minimize or deny motorcycle accident claims by exploiting common stereotypes against riders.
At Choulos, Choulos & Wyle, our San Francisco motorcycle accident lawyers understand the deep-seated biases that motorcyclists often face from insurance companies and opposing counsel who may try to unfairly paint riders as reckless or blame them for their own injuries. Our attorneys combat these prejudices by meticulously gathering compelling evidence of the other party’s negligence and working with experts to prove exactly how the crash occurred.
We know how to effectively demonstrate that our clients were following all safety protocols and traffic laws when the accident occurred, preventing insurance adjusters from devaluing or denying legitimate claims. We will leverage our well-honed negotiation skills to advocate for the highest possible settlement in your case. And if the insurer still refuses to pay, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
