Schedule a free consultation today to discuss your motorcycle accident case with a trusted Los Angeles attorney who understands the unique challenges motorcyclists face.
Why Are Motorcycle Accidents So Serious?
Motorcycle accidents are among the most dangerous types of motor vehicle collisions, with riders being 29 times more likely to die in a crash than car occupants, according to the NHTSA. The lack of structural protection leaves riders vulnerable to catastrophic injuries even in relatively low-speed collisions.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include drivers failing to see motorcycles, left-turn collisions, distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, road hazards, and dooring incidents. California is one of the few states that allows lane splitting, which can introduce additional accident dynamics.
Motorcycle accident injuries are often severe, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, road rash, broken bones, internal bleeding, and limb amputations. Recovery can be lengthy and expensive, requiring multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care.
At Novian & Novian, our motorcycle accident attorneys understand the bias motorcyclists often face from insurance companies and juries. We build strong, evidence-based cases that counter unfair prejudice and establish the other party’s liability.

Our motorcycle accident lawyers at Novian & Novian investigate every aspect of the accident — reviewing police reports, traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction data. We work to establish that the other driver’s negligence caused the collision and your injuries.

FAQs
Below are answers to some of the most common questions:
Is It Harder to Win a Motorcycle Accident Case?
Motorcycle accident cases can be more challenging due to anti-rider bias, but an experienced attorney can overcome these obstacles by building a strong, evidence-based case that proves the other driver’s negligence.
What Should I Do After a Motorcycle Accident?
Seek immediate medical attention, document the scene and your injuries, gather witness information, file a police report, preserve your gear and helmet, and contact a motorcycle accident attorney before speaking with insurance companies.
Does Lane Splitting Affect My Claim?
California is the only state that explicitly allows lane splitting. As long as you were lane splitting safely and within the law, it should not negatively impact your claim. Our attorneys can demonstrate safe riding practices in your case.
What Compensation Can I Recover After a Motorcycle Accident?
Motorcycle accident victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage (including motorcycle repair or replacement), and emotional distress.
What If I Wasn't Wearing a Helmet?
California requires motorcycle riders to wear helmets. Not wearing a helmet may reduce your compensation for head injuries under comparative negligence, but it does not eliminate your right to recover for other injuries caused by the at-fault driver.
How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1). Contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
