Maison Law helps El Segundo motorcyclists seek support after they’ve been hurt in collisions caused by reckless drivers. Motorcyclists should get immediate support so they can afford the best medical care available and get back to the rides they love.
Maison Law of El Segundo offers a free, no-obligation case consultation to all local motorcycle accident victims and their families. It’s a no-risk way to find out how to protect their case and hold a car insurance company fully accountable.
Finding Out If You Need a Lawyer for Your Motorcycle Accident Case
If a motorcycle accident results in just some minor scrapes and soreness, victims may be fine handling their case themselves. But riders who are struck by cars and then endure an impact with the pavement often come away with serious injuries. This is when an El Segundo Motorcycle Accident Lawyer is of the most assistance.
When recovery times will be long and medical costs rise, car insurance companies fight much harder against accepting blame.
They’ll gladly try to shift blame to the rider by twisting the facts of what happened. Insurance adjusters also like to question how bad injuries are or even claim that the rider has preexisting injuries to reduce the settlement amount.
A lawyer investigates the accident and has evidence ready when insurers try to point the finger of blame at the wrong person.
A lawyer can also often earn victims much more in a settlement when they are dealing with these these and other types of serious injuries:
- Bone fractures, including broken collarbones, ribs, and shin bones
- Soft tissue injuries such as muscle, ligament, and tendon tears
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs), including moderate to severe concussions
- Deep cuts and degloving injuries (skin torn away)
- Facial lacerations, broken noses and jaws, teeth lost
- Permanent disfigurements and scars
- Neck injuries and whiplash that persist for more than a week
- Back injuries and damage to the spinal column
- Permanent physical disabilities
You should contact a lawyer if your injuries affect your ability to work. Go over your case with a lawyer if a loved one was hurt in a motorcycle accident and can’t speak for themselves. Contact a lawyer if an accident tragically claimed a family member.
Motorcyclists always have the right to file claims themselves, but with a serious injury, a skilled attorney is often a necessary safeguard. Maison Law can represent you and handle the frustrating claims process, while you are free to focus on healing and getting back on the road.
Taking Advantage of a Free Motorcycle Accident Consultation
When you still aren’t sure if you have a strong case and filing a claim will be worth it, there’s never any harm in scheduling a case review with a real El Segundo attorney. This consultation is free, 100% confidential, and it comes with no obligation.
Allow Maison Law to help you navigate through this difficult time. We’ll go over all of your legal options and help you find the best path to getting your bills paid and getting back on your feet.
And if we can help you earn more, there’s no worry about how you’ll pay a lawyer. We don’t get paid unless we win your case. Then our fee comes out of the settlement check that a car insurer must write for you.
A skilled attorney is also a big help when you alert a car insurance company to everything you expect them to cover.
Your attorney files your claim for you, and it will include a full list of every hardship you’ve endured. Every damage must be included on this list, because if it’s not there, the insurer can ignore it. It becomes a cost you and your family would have to pay out of savings.
Your Maison Law attorney would demand support for these and other factors in your recovery:
- Support to pay medical bills for as long as necessary.
- Estimated costs for a lifetime of care and support for a permanent physical disability.
- Wrongful death benefits. Families must earn support after losing a loved one in a tragic motorcycle accident. The support can cover the cost of burial and any remaining ambulance and hospital bills. Families should also earn help for the future to cover the loss of the income the deceased would have contributed in the years to come. They can also earn support for their emotional trauma and the loss of guidance and love in the coming years.
- Support to cope with the physical pain endured in recovery and any chronic pain and arthritis developing in the future.
- Support for the emotional trauma suffered with a major injury. Depression and anxiety can affect victims who may suffer a loss of enjoyment of life in recovery, while unable to get back on a motorcycle. Crash victims can also suffer PTSD symptoms stemming from the moment of impact.
- Past and future lost earnings and benefits while victims are forced to miss work hours.
- Money for a new motorcycle.
Motorcycle Accident Dangers in El Segundo
El Segundo Motorcyclists can see a lot of unsafe decisions by the drivers they must travel alongside each day in Los Angeles County.
Drivers staring at cellphones might ram a motorcycle stopped at a stop sign on Grand Avenue from behind. Riders might be knocked off Vista Del Mar by a driver switching lanes without checking mirrors and blind spots.
Riders may be approaching an intersection when a careless driver makes a left turn in front of them. There’s no time to swerve or stop, and victims end up crashing into the full length of a car, SUV, or truck.
- 2025: Los Angeles County recorded 2,838 motorcycle accidents involving injuries. At least 73 motorcyclists lost their lives in collisions for the year. That’s according to the California Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS).
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do after a motorcycle accident to help my case?
Call 911 and request an ambulance if anyone is injured. If you feel strong enough and the scene is secure, you should get photos and video of the damage to your motorcycle, your damaged clothing and helmet (if you were wearing one), and the damage to the other vehicles involved. Show any injuries that are visible. Get contact information from witnesses. Get information from other drivers unless an El Segundo Police Officer or CHP officer provided it to you. Report what happened to your own motorcycle insurance company as soon as possible, even if you didn’t cause the crash. Visit a doctor in the days that follow to get any new pain you experienced checked out and to get all other injuries fully documented. Follow the doctor’s orders.
Can I win support for recovery if I wasn’t wearing a motorcycle helmet when I was hit?
Yes. Not having a helmet on doesn’t affect the fault in the case. The careless driver would still be held liable. You could still file a claim and earn support for your recovery. California law requires that all riders wear helmets. Victims hurt by careless drivers might be cited for riding without a helmet, but they can still earn help with injury costs and other damages.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in California?
California puts a two-year statute of limitations on motorcycle accident claims. If you wait longer, your claim will likely be thrown out. But you should act quickly after any accident. You’ll want your attorney to start an investigation before evidence disappears and witnesses become harder to identify.
