Long Beach Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Looking for the Best Long Beach Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?

Scott, a motorcycle accident client of the firm.

A Long Beach personal injury lawyer should be contacted immediately if you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident. Because motorcycle riders are relatively exposed to the impact of an accident, the injuries sustained are often serious or even fatal. Your injuries may involve hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical treatment and lost wages. You may never fully recover from your injuries and may be facing a lifetime of pain and limitations. You need an aggressive and experienced motorcycle accident attorney who will demand full compensation for the losses you have suffered, and will suffer in the future.

Personal injury attorneys Daniel McGee and Catherine Lerer have over 40 years of experience representing motorcycle accident victims. If liability is disputed, we know the best motorcycle experts in California. We will make sure you get the medical treatment you need. If you don't have health insurance or can't afford medical treatment, we will refer you to a doctor who will treat you on a lien basis, which means that the doctor agrees to wait to be paid until your case resolves. We can also help you get compensation for the diminished value of your motorcycle or for the loss of use of your motorcycle following an accident.

Your Right to Compensation after a Motorcycle Accident

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you have a right to be compensated for:

Common Injuries Motorcycle Riders Face

Motorcycle accidents can result in severe injuries due to the rider's exposure and lack of protection compared to other vehicles. As a Long Beach motorcycle accident law firm dedicated to personal injury cases, we want to educate you on the most common injuries motorcycle accident victims might encounter:

  • Head Injuries: These are among the most serious, often leading to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), even when wearing a helmet. Such injuries can have long-lasting effects on cognitive function and quality of life.
  • Road Rash: This occurs when the skin makes contact with the road surface, leading to painful abrasions that may require extensive treatment or surgery.
  • Fractures: Commonly affecting the arms and legs, fractures occur as riders often try to break their fall during an accident. These injuries can lead to significant medical expenses and long recovery times.
  • Spinal Injuries: These can potentially result in permanent disability or paralysis, affecting the rider's ability to work and perform daily activities.

Understanding these potential injuries underscores the importance of seeking immediate medical attention and legal advice following an accident. Our firm is here to provide support and advocate for your right to full compensation for your injuries and losses. If you have questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.

How To Minimize The Risk of Injury While Riding a Motorcycle

Here are some key tips:

  • Wear Protective Gear: Always wear a DOT-approved helmet, gloves, jackets, and boots. Protective clothing can significantly reduce injuries in case of an accident.
  • Follow Traffic Laws: Adhering to speed limits and traffic signals is crucial. Avoid lane splitting and be cautious at intersections where most accidents occur.
  • Stay Visible: Use reflective clothing and keep headlights on to ensure you are seen by other drivers. Position yourself in lanes so you’re visible in rear-view mirrors.
  • Maintain Your Motorcycle: Regularly check brakes, tires, lights, and signals to ensure your motorcycle is in optimal condition, reducing the risk of mechanical failure.

By taking these precautions, you can enhance your safety on the road. If you have any questions or need legal assistance, McGee, Lerer & Associates is here to help.
