Fault in California motorcycle crashes is based on legally defined duties of care and who failed to meet them. We review police reports, eyewitness accounts, and traffic camera data when available to determine fault. Insurance adjusters may assign comparative fault, which can affect the amount recovered.
Recoverable compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The total depends on injury severity, recovery time, and long-term needs. Our goal is to maximize your compensation while addressing present and future costs.
