What If the Other Driver Doesn't Have Insurance?

Your policy should always have uninsured motorist coverage because if the other party has no assets and no coverage then there is no one to go after. You would want to do an asset search to find out if they own property or have income that you could perhaps go after in lieu of having Motorcycle coverage.

How Can I Get Help If it was a Road Condition that Caused my Accident?

Contact Bisnar Chase and one of our skilled premise liability or governmental entity attorneys can decide whether you have a case or not. Depending on your situation, the type of case you have can slightly differ.

How do I Know If my Situation is a Premise Liability or Governmental Entity Case?

Premise liability cases consist of hazardous or dangerous conditions on privately owned establishments, residential or commercial properties. Governmental entity cases consist of dangerous or hazardous conditions to city streets, airports, municipal transportation, etc.

Lastly, there are possible scenarios for the two to combine and create both a governmental entity and premise liability case. A possible situation could consist of a property owner who is having construction done on their home has a dangerous piece of material fall onto city property (sidewalk or alleyway) and a bicyclist turns the corner, crashes and becomes injured.

The property owner has an obligation to create a hazard free zone to any public interaction with their property, and the city has a responsibility to ensure all municipal and public access is free of hazardous materials and dangerous conditions.

Every year, 50,000 motorcyclists are injured and an average of 2,000 are killed in collisions. Over 80% of all motorcycle accidents result in injury or death. If you ride, first and foremost, be careful.

Most people preach when or if they become a motorcycle rider, they are skilled, cautious and on the lookout for all road hazards possible. The reality is, when suddenly presented with a road hazard, you have only moments, many times milliseconds to react, and sometimes that is just not enough time to avoid danger or potentially catastrophic disaster.

Are There any Special Protection Laws for Motorcyclists in California?

Motorcyclists have to adhere to the same safety laws and car drivers however extra caution should be paid to motorcycle riders especially when lane splitting is legal. Every year thousands of bikers are injured and car drivers need to pay extra attention to the presence of bikers behind or next them. The California DMV has a motorcycle handbook on Preparing to Ride that can help answer some very important safety questions.

What do I Need to Bring to my Initial Consultation with a Los Angeles Motorcycle Injury Lawyer?

Bring as much evidence with you as you can because the more you can tell and show your attorney the better he will be able to understand the circumstances of your case. Typically, you'll want to have pictures of the accident witness reports and a police report for an initial consultation. If you don't have all of those items just tell your attorney as much as you can.

How Does Your Firm Stand Out When Helping People Through Their Motorcycle Accident Cases?

The injury attorneys at Bisnar Chase never back down from a difficult fight, we cover all costs throughout the case, and you don't pay unless we win your case.

Hazardous Scenarios Motorcycle Riders Encounter

Even if you feel you have cat-like reflexes and can dip and dodge your way out of any scenario, here are some possible dangers you may experience while riding a motorcycle.

• Other vehicles: Vehicles pulling out from blind spots, running red lights, stop signs or the situation of a moving obstruction suddenly impacting the path of a moving motorcycle. Because you only have moments to respond when faced with a sudden obstruction.
• Road hazards: This ranges from debris in the street like items that have fallen out of trucks, like ladders, couches, desks, broken wood, metal and other potential hazards. Sometimes you don't get a chance to see hidden road hazards.
• Traveling on the freeway or fast-moving roadways behind vehicles offers the chance of the vehicle in front of you blocking your early awareness of the hazard, running the item over and having it kicked up airborne in front of you, making it many times impossible to avoid.
• Oil, ice or any potentially slippery surfaces.
• Potholes, cracks or any other road damage motorcycle tires can have issues with.
• The ability of a substance hitting you and blocking your vision; your goggles, helmet, or eyes directly.
• Poor weather like rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog and black ice.
• Poor motorcycle condition is also a hazard. This could potentially lead to flat tires or blow outs, engine failure, sudden stalls, parts falling off and other issues that could lead to a sudden crash.
