Glendale Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

California Auto Accident Lawyers

Knowing the amount of damage a car accident can cause, a motorcycle accident can easily be much worse. Because the driver of a motorcycle is relatively unprotected by his or her vehicle, a collision with a car or truck can be devastating. Only a helmet and clothing separate a motorcyclist from the pavement, often in situations where speeds range from 30 to 60+ miles per hour, a motorcycle driver is likely to sustain severe injury whereas the driver of the car or truck involved may sustain only minor injuries.

If you or a friend or family member has been involved in motorcycle accident, it is important to act quickly to protect your rights. By working with a Glendale motorcycle accident attorney at the Law Offices of Yarian & Patatanyan, you will have a professional on your side who will know exactly what must be done to give you the best opportunity of securing maximum compensation for your injuries and damaged property.

Although you can file a claim with the insurance company and attempt to collect a fair settlement on your own, it is more likely that the insurance company will try to delay or deny your claim or offer you a settlement far below what your claim is actually worth. They may try to pressure you into accepting a small settlement or overwhelm you in an effort to make you drop your claim. But when you have a capable personal injury lawyer at your side, the insurance company will take notice. Your lawyer will know how to file the claim and pursue it even if it is denied. Your lawyer can even take your case to a California civil court if that is necessary.

Motorcycle Accidents in California

With California’s mostly sunny weather and beautiful coastline, motorcycling is an ever-increasing pastime or means of transportation for many people throughout the state. Along with this, motorcycle accidents and fatalities continue to occur with startling regularity. From 2002 to 2006, motorcycle fatalities across the U.S. increased by almost 50%.

Even a seemingly minor motorcycle accident can cause serious injury to the motorcyclist. Most of these injuries are considered catastrophic injuries because of their life-threatening nature. Brain injury, spinal injury and burns are likely to be caused by a motorcycle accident. Additional injuries include broken bones, fractures, dislocations and internal injuries.

Most of the time, these accidents are not the motorcyclist’s fault. Instead, the driver of a car or truck may not use reasonable caution on the road and may change lanes right in a motorcycle’s path or may pull out onto the road directly in front of a motorcycle. By working with you and proving the fault of the other driver, your attorney at Yarian & Patatanyan can help you collect compensation for your injuries and suffering. We deal with cases and claims throughout Southern California, including Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena and Los Angeles.
