What's the most common cause of motorcycle accidents?

Bisnar Chase LLP

A high percentage of motorcycle accidents are cause by vehicle drivers who just don't see the motorcyclist. They're looking for cars and trucks, they're not looking for motorcycles and they will turn right in front of them, they'll drive right into them, they just don't see them. Especially elderly drivers over 65 cause a huge number of motorcycle accidents. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar Chase law firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

How severe are typical motorcycle accident injuries?

Bisnar Chase LLP

Motorcycle accidents result in much bigger injuries than car to car accidents because the motorcyclist is exposed. It is not uncommon to see major broken bones, head injuries, brain injuries, paralysis. Motorcycle accidents are a challenge not only for the injured person but for the attorney representing them because there is also a natural bias in the juries and in insurance companies against motorcyclists.

Are car accidents on the rise in California?

I wouldn't say that car accidents are on the rise. In fact, I think that there's more of a prevalence of people being more careful now. Particularly in California, they've recently passed a law that requires you to wear a headpiece when you use a phone, which I'm seeing a lot of drivers using. I understand that insurance companies are reporting that auto accidents are down because they're using a lot more driver safety programs, particularly with their newer drivers that are coming on to their programs. So, there's not an abundance of more accidents. I'm Jeff Roberts of the Roberts Law Firm, a full service, personal injury law firm in Southern California.

How long does a motorcycle accident claim take if I involve an attorney?

No two motorcycle injury accidents are the same. That's based mostly on the extent and the nature of the injuries that the motorcyclist has suffered. A attorney specialized in motorcycle accident cases can and will determine when a case is ready to be settled. That is usually based on the medical treatment being completed and the full nature and extent of the injuries being known. Only at that time will a case be settled. Most motorcycle accident cases settle within one year of the accident. I'm Jeff Roberts of the Roberts Law Firm, a full service personal injury law firm in Southern California.

What types of injuries can be covered in a dog bite or attack claim in California?

Dog bite claims have unique injuries different from many other types of accidents. In particular, scarring. And in a dog bite claim, all medical bills can be compensated. If someone looses income due to the dog bite, they will recover their lost income. Pain and suffering, but also, as I said, scarring. Scarring, particularly, on small children causes problems later on as they get older and requires surgeries and those surgeries will be compensated as well.
