Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
It is no secret that riding a motorcycle comes with risks. Even if you take all safety precautions and wear all appropriate safety gear, accidents happen and can result in extremely serious, and sometimes fatal, injuries to the motorcycle rider. As such, these types of cases require unique attention and expertise. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed as a result of a motorcycle accident in Southern California, contact the experienced motorcycle accident attorneys at The Tomalas Law Firm before speaking with any insurance company representative. We will discuss important details with you to ensure you get the medical attention you need and eventually receive the financial recovery you deserve.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents occur in the blink of an eye and are often caused by the negligence of another driver. As motorcycles are smaller vehicles, they can be more difficult for drivers of larger vehicles to see and collisions often occur when the drivers of those vehicles change lanes and collide with a motorcyclist who may have been in their “blind spot”. Another common cause of motorcycle accidents is when a vehicle makes a left turn into the motorcycle rider’s path of travel, either causing a collision between the motorcycle and other vehicle or causing the motorcyclist to lose control in their attempt to avoid a collision. Motorcycle accidents can also occur if another driver fails to stop for traffic and rear-ends the motorcyclist in front of them. Often, the most serious injuries suffered in motorcycle accidents result from head-on collisions.
No matter the cause of the collision, due to the nature of motorcycle riding and the relative lack of protection, the injuries suffered by the rider can be very serious and sometimes catastrophic.

- Take photos and/or video of all involved vehicles and the collision scene.
- Get the names and contact information of all drivers and any witnesses. Be sure to get insurance information of the other drivers (use your phone camera to take photos of their driver’s license and insurance information).
