Ventura County, Los Angeles County, Westlake Village Motorcycle and Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Because motorcycles and bicycles lack the protection of a steel frame, seat belts, and air bags, motorcycle and bicycle riders are at great risk of sustaining some type of painful and debilitating injury. Motorcycle and bicycle riders are completely vulnerable in the event of accident, and have little chance of walking away unscathed. In an accident, victims stand to face multiple serious injuries, such as:

• Head and/or brain trauma
• Head and/or brain injury
• Severe burns
• Amputations
• Scarring or disfigurement
• Paralysis
• Crushed limbs or organs
• Broken or fractured bones
• Dislocations
• Back and spine injuries
• Neck injuries
• Death

These injuries can significantly decrease the quality of the victim’s life. In many cases, the injuries cause intense pain and permanently disabled the victim, making it difficult for him/her to conduct basic daily tasks. In addition, the injuries may prevent him/her from being able to work.  When an individual is unable to earn an income, it only adds to the stress, anxiety, and frustration of the situation.

At Neustadt & Berriz, we understand how physically and emotionally difficult life can be for the majority of motorcycle and bicycle accident victims. When we commit to a case, we do everything in our power to secure as much compensation as possible for our clients so they have the financial resources they need to take care of themselves after an accident. However, in order to win our clients’ cases, we must prove that the accident was the result of another person’s negligence or recklessness. While it can be difficult to prove who is at fault, there are a number of actions that may indicate driver negligence, such as:

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Reckless driving
• Speeding
• Racing
• Failure to check blind spots
• Failure to yield
• Failure to see the motorcycle in the neighboring lane
• Falling asleep at the wheel
• Running a red light or stop sign
• Not paying attention to the road

Our main priority is ensuring our clients’ best interests are protected at all times, and that they recover the compensation they need to move forward with their lives after an accident.
