California is a great state for commuting by motorcycle, and it is the only state that permits lane splitting. Although this can be a wonderful way to beat LA’s notoriously congested traffic, if you are not so lucky you could end up with serious injuries, paralysis or even worse. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports over 5,000 motorcycle accidents every year.
Victims often pay large sums of money to receive medical care and repair their motorcycles. My goal is to win you the maximum possible compensation as quickly as possible, so that you can recover your out- of-pocket expenses plus other types of damages that you might not even be aware that you are entitled to. We will fully investigate your accident to prove the other party’s fault and the amount of damages you are entitled to.
At our firm, you will owe us nothing in legal fees until you are awarded compensation in the form of a settlement or verdict. Although well over 90 percent of our clients receive compensation, if we don’t win compensation for you, your total legal services fee will be precisely $0.00. When you do receive compensation, your legal fees will be calculated in proportion to the amount that you win.
