Woodland Hills Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

California is one of the most motorcycle-friendly states in the country, as a Woodland Hills motorcycle accident lawyer can explain. Unfortunately, many “cage” drivers do not share this same respect for riders. From driving aggressively to ignoring the dangers of leaving riders with no place to go, drivers in Woodland Hills and the San Fernando Valley routinely make mistakes that lead to motorcycle accidents.

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident involving another motor vehicle, first of all, we sympathize with your situation. We know what it is like to feel that moment of helplessness – when you know there is no longer anything you can do to prevent yourself from going down – and we are extremely glad that you made it out alive. Not all riders do.

Barry giving 6 figure settlement check to motorcycle accident client

We also know that you need help. If a negligent driver, an issue with your motorcycle or any other outside factor caused or contributed to the accident, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation – and you may need that compensation to move on. But, protecting your rights is hard. The insurance companies are not on your side, they are not going to tell you what your claim is worth, and taking legal action may be the only way to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Woodland Hills motorcycle accident lawyer,  Barry P. Goldberg, has more than 35 years of legal experience to representing injured motorcycle riders in Southern California. Mr. Goldberg and his legal team routinely represent injured riders, bringing a passion for justice and an unwavering commitment to success to every case they handle. Mr. Goldberg takes the tough cases and he uses his extensive knowledge of both motorcycle collision dynamics and California personal injury law to secure maximum compensation for his clients’ losses.

“My prior attorney as you know . . . put my case in serious jeopardy. With the case literally about to be dismissed, you were able, with only 2 days’ notice . . . [to] convince the judge . . . to extend my case, giving us able time to formulate our winning strategy. Your responsiveness, and ability to really listen to my concerns, issues and objectives demonstrated to me that you had my best interests always in mind.”

“After several horrible experiences with lawyers in the past . . . I was OVERJOYED with the entire experience and professionalism of Mr. Goldberg. He and his staff exceeded all my expectations. He fought for me and treated me with respect and dignity. He . . . got the BEST POSSIBLE settlement. I would rate him 6 stars out of 5.”

Proving Liability in Southern California Motorcycle Accidents

While driver negligence is the most common factor in motorcycle accidents, it is not the only factor worth considering. Barry P. Goldberg, A Professional Law Corporation is one of a select number of law firms that focuses its investigations on identifying alternate sources of compensation. Why is this important? For one, many motorcycle accidents are hit-and-runs. If it is not possible to identify the at-fault driver, you will need to pursue alternate sources of financial recovery. For another, in serious motorcycle accidents, the at-fault driver’s insurance limits can be insufficient to cover the full extent of the rider’s physical, financial, and emotional harm.

The following are just some of the issues we look for when pursuing maximum compensation for injured motorcycle riders in Southern California:

  • Negligent Driving – Most motorcycle accidents are the result of driver negligence. Drivers make all kinds of mistakes, and these mistakes can put riders at risk for serious, and in many cases fatal, injuries. Mr. Goldberg has secured compensation from aggressive, distracted, drunk, fatigued, inattentive, and inexperienced drivers’ insurance companies, and our legal team is highly skilled at documenting drivers’ negligence in order to prove our clients’ cases for financial recovery.
  • Car and Truck Defects and Maintenance Issues – From faulty accelerator pedals to failing brakes, defects and maintenance issues are common factors in all types of motor vehicle collisions. Mr. Goldberg has significant experience taking on automobile manufacturers in settlement negotiations and at trial, and he has the skills and legal acumen to hold negligent repair shops accountable when their mechanics’ mistakes lead to on-the-road accidents.
  • Motorcycle Defects – Motorcycle defects are common as well, and in every case Mr. Goldberg carefully assesses whether a defect could have caused or contributed to the accident. Defects can leave even the most experienced riders helpless to avoid high-side and low-side accidents, and they are frequently to blame for serious accident-related injuries.
  • Road and Adjacent Property Hazards – Road and adjacent property hazards, including potholes, inadequate lighting, low spots that collect rainwater and debris, and overgrown brush can all cause and contribute to motorcycle accidents as well. When investigating possible sources of compensation for our clients’ injuries, we literally leave no stone unturned.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UIM) Coverage – If you were hit by an uninsured driver, if the driver’s insurance is insufficient to cover your losses, or if you were involved in a hit-and-run accident, we can help you seek compensation under your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) policy. Even though you are seeking compensation under your own policy, your insurer will take an adversarial approach to the process, and this means you need an aggressive advocate fighting to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.

California Motorcycle Accident Law FAQs

Q: How much money can I recover for my motorcycle accident?

In a motorcycle accident, the amount of money that can be recovered depends on several factors, as a Woodland Hills motorcycle accident lawyer can attest. As a result, in order to estimate your financial recovery, it is critical to know all of the factors involved in the accident as well as the severity of your injuries and the impact they have on your daily life. The primary factors that will determine the amount of your financial recovery include:

  • Fault – Who (or what) was at fault in the accident? Is there a legitimate argument to be made that you were partially to blame? Under California law, partial fault can reduce (but not eliminate) your financial award.
  • Insurance – Is the driver who hit you adequately insured? Do you have UIM coverage? If a defect caused or contributed to the accident, how much coverage does the manufacturer have for accident-related injuries?
  • Injuries – How extensive are your injuries? Will you need ongoing medical treatment? Therapy? Are you able to work? Are you able to ride? Will your pain go away? These are just some of the questions that need to be answered in order to calculate your losses.

Your choice of legal representation matters as well. Some lawyers (many of them, in fact) do not like to go to court. Mr. Goldberg is not one of those lawyers. At Barry P. Goldberg, A Professional Law Corporation, protecting our clients’ best interests is our sole priority, and the insurance companies know that they need to be prepared to face off with us at trial.

Q: Can I seek financial compensation for road rash?

Yes, absolutely. The scars from road rash can last a lifetime, and in many cases they can lead to enduring physical limitations and psychological effects. Road rash, bone fractures, and other disfiguring injuries will often support substantial claims for financial compensation.

Q: What should I do if I have been injured in a motorcycle crash?

We recommend that riders take five key steps after being involved in a collision with another motor vehicle:

  • Call 911.
  • Collect vehicle details.
  • Keep your health records.
  • Contact your insurance company.
  • Speak with a personal injury lawyer.

For more details, read: 5 Stages of a Motorcycle Accident.

Q: Is road rage considered negligent?

Yes. All drivers owe a legal duty to operate their vehicles with due consideration for the safety of others, and this includes motorcyclists. Yet, road rage continues to be an all-too-common factor in motorcycle collisions. If you were injured in an accident involving road rage, we can help you seek just compensation.

Q: Are motorcycle riders required to wear helmets in California?

Yes. California’s motorcycle helmet law requires all riders to wear helmets that meet U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) safety standards. If you were injured in an accident and you were not wearing a helmet, it is critical that you discuss your rights with an Woodland Hills motorcycle accident lawyer who has extensive experience in motorcycle accident litigation.

    • Results Oriented, Trustworthy and Knowledgeable

      I suffered through a not-my-fault auto accident in January of 2010. Unfortunately the opposing insurance company is well known for it’s habitual delays of paying plaintiffs.
      Barry Goldberg did an excellent job of pursuing Mercury on my behalf until we reached a more than fair settlement. He is fair, knowledgeable, kept me well informed through the months of interaction with opposing Counsel and acheived a great result considering all the circumstances. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a personal injury lawsuit! Should a prospective client wish to speak with me about working with Mr. Goldberg, please contact him for my information.

      Car Accident Client
    • Highly Knowledgeable and Responsive

      As an attorney with a legal matter outside my area of expertise, one involving my own family member, I decided to contact Mr. Goldberg after viewing some of his quality legal work. His grasp of the particulars was very impressive, as was his advice in regard to proceeding forward. His speedy and friendly response was refreshing, highlighting an engaged and highly competent professional.

      Personal Injury Client
    • Negotiating a Settlement and Social Media

      Really appreciate the legal guidance I received from Mr. Goldberg. I did not feel my insurance company had my best interest in mind and I reached out for legal council. It was clear Mr. Goldberg was an expert not only in personal injury cases but the use of Facebook posts and Tweets as evidence. I will definitely work with Mr. Goldberg again in the future and will recommend him to my family and friends.

    • I was hit by a SUV while cycling in Santa Monica and was referred to Barry by a cycling friend (who was also a lawyer). Barry and his staff were professional and very easy to work with and negotiated a fair settlement with the drivers insurance company for the damage to my bike and for my medical bills and injuries. Unlike the run-in with the SUV (or going to the dentist), it was about as painless an experience as I could have hoped for.

    • I initially called a different attorney to handle my case. He didn’t file the DMV forms and got my license suspended due to negligence. He also stopped answering the phone for a solid 6-8 months.

      One day I began to search for a new attorney and I found Barry. He took over my case, knowing that it was a mess and he would have to put in extra work for free. He immediately took control and got everything in motion. My case was resolved in my favor, faster than I had anticipated.

      I was kept up-to-date at all times, even when I didn’t call them. Sarah was sure to update me anytime new info came in. I would recommend Barry to my family. This is a great law office, so there’s no need to continue searching around and worrying who to call. You have found the people you are looking for. They also have a nice office for the times you need to stop by.

      Here’s the attorney you have been searching for: Barry Goldberg

    • I was involved in a car accident about a year ago, t-boned by another car which ran a red light. I found myself with a huge hospital bill, several other bills, a totaled car, phone calls and letters every day, and no one to turn to for help. I attempted to do things on my own, and quickly got in over my head. A friend found Barry’s website, so after a couple months of being stressed and overwhelmed, I gave him a call and we set up a free consultation.

      The office is easy to find, very clean and professional. I met Barry and his assistant Sarah, and immediately felt comfortable and relaxed with them. Barry sat and listened and talked with me, giving advice for TWO hours instead of the agreed one hour! He was so genuine, so kind, and truly cared about my situation and wanted to help. A few days later I hired him, and it was the best decision I could’ve made!!!

      Barry and Sarah always kept me in the loop with phone calls and emails of progress with my claims. They are persistent and efficient, and have won way more money for me than I could have ever gotten fighting this case on my own! Everything on their end has been fast- responses, updates, issuing checks- and with attention to detail. The only reason it has taken a year to wrap up has been waiting on the hospital/insurance/others to respond to the firm.

      A tremendous burden was lifted off my shoulders when I hired this firm, and I am immensely pleased with their service and support!!! SO many thanks to the Goldberg law office!!! I’d recommend them any time 🙂
