Riding a motorcycle in and around Santa Monica can be an invigorating experience. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are exposed to a much greater risk of suffering serious or fatal injury during motorcycle accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), riders involved in a motorcycle accident are 26 times more likely than car drivers to be killed or sustain serious injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and orthopedic injuries. The unfortunate truth is few motorcyclists walk away from a motorcycle accident scene without injury. Adding insult to injury, many motorcycle accident victims and their families are severely under-compensated by insurance companies. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you need a highly rated motorcycle accident law firm like Kermani LLP on your side.

Motorcycle accidents happen everywhere, however, California’s freeways routinely top the list of the deadliest highways in the country. The deadliest California freeways are the Interstate 5, Highway 101 and State Route 99. In 2019, Interstate 5, a north-south highway which spans the entire west coast of the United States claimed 192 lives in California. In the same year, Highway 101, a north-south highway that spans most of California, Oregon and Washington claimed 139 lives in the state. State Route 99 a north–south state highway that stretches almost the entire length of the Central Valley was nearly as dangerous claiming 110 lives in 2019.
According to California law, a person injured in an accident can recover damages even when he or she is partially to blame for the accident. This is known as “Comparative Fault Law” where different parties can share liability. Damages are reduced by the percentage to which a liable party contributed to the accident.
Motorcycle accident victims are better served by contacting Kermani motorcycle accident lawyers to protect their rights to compensation. Kermani motorcycle accident lawyers can help you understand liability in your particular motorcycle accident especially in cases that involve lane splitting. Liable drivers and their insurance companies often attempt to take advantage of Comparative Fault Law in California to push liability to riders if the accident occurred during lane-splitting.
California is one of the few states that allows lane-splitting. Lane splitting is riding a motorcycle between lanes of stopped or slow-moving traffic moving in the same direction and since its allowance in California, lane-splitting has been controversial. Many drivers view lane-splitting to be dangerous and startling because motorcycles seemingly “come out of nowhere.”
On the other hand, many riders believe lane-splitting protects motorcyclists by allowing them to exit the highway faster and avoid rear-end collisions which are more likely to occur in slow moving traffic scenarios.
There are far more deaths and serious injuries from motorcycle accidents than from car accidents. Unfortunately, no matter how safely a motorcyclist rides, accidents are often caused by the negligence or recklessness of passenger vehicle drivers. Some of the common causes of motorcycle accidents in Santa Monica include:
Motorcycles offer less protection to riders than the protection provided to passengers in an enclosed vehicle making motorcyclists more vulnerable to serious injuries in an accident. The most common injuries motorcycle riders endure are:
Proving negligence in motorcycle accidents can be complicated. Proof of negligence and the degree of it substantially impacts the compensation to victims of motorcycle accidents.
Motorcycle accident victims are better served by contacting a reputable motorcycle accident law firm like Kermani LLP to protect their rights to compensation. Proving negligence in a motorcycle accident requires demonstrating that the driver of the passenger vehicle breached the duty of operating his or her vehicle safely, the actions of the driver of the passenger vehicle caused the accident and that the accident directly caused injuries, property damage, pain and suffering and/or other financial losses to the motorcyclist. After a motorcycle accident, we recommend you follow the steps below to help support your case. Here’s what to do after a motorcycle accident in Santa Monica:
California motorcycle accident insurance claims are often underpaid and under settled. Insurance companies frequently attempt to pay motorcycle accident victims less than the full compensation they deserve by using California law to their advantage. In California, drivers can be found to be partially at fault for a motorcycle accident instead of fully at fault. A common tactic used by insurance companies is to claim their insureds are only partially liable so they can justify paying motorcycle accident victims less than they deserve.

Medical expenses are typically high in cost, even if an injury is relatively minor. Even if an injury is mild, after a motorcycle accident, you should still go to the hospital emergency room to get examined to ensure that you aren’t suffering something more serious. You can expect to undergo a checkup and sometimes a few diagnostic tests and may even receive prescription medication for pain. If your motorcycle accident was particularly serious, you may be required to stay overnight or longer at the hospital, undergo surgery and receive ongoing treatment and long-term care. When you have an experienced attorney on your side, you can get a better idea of what your financial compensation should be to cover all of your present and future medical expenses, ongoing care, property damage, lost wages and other out-of-pocket expenses.
The injuries you sustain from a Santa Monica motorcycle accident can be debilitating and disabling, which means you will probably have to miss time off from work. In some cases, you might even have to leave your job altogether. This means you will suffer lost wages and may have financial hardship due to your ongoing medical expenses. You deserve compensation for your lost income whether you have to miss time off from work, get a reduction in hours and pay or have to leave your job permanently. An attorney can help you to recover the compensation you deserve and can help you to get future lost earning capacity compensation as well.
If you have been in a Santa Monica motorcycle accident, chances are high that the damage to your motorcycle is very expensive. If the crash was the fault of someone else, you deserve compensation for the repairs to your bike and to its diminished value as well. Your attorney will fight to get you the right amount of compensation for both.

testimonials
We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible service, and their feedback is what drives us to be better.
Due diligence got me only so far as I went through three seemingly great law firms before finding Kermani LLP right here on yelp. They were fantastic.
When I was hurt in a bike accident last year, a friend recommended I get a lawyer and sent me to Ray Kermani. Ray and his team knew exactly what needed to be done and took care of everything.
Ray is one of the easiest people to work with. His communication is great and he always walks you through the steps. I was little down after my accident. He got me paid quickly and way more than I thought was even possible. He goes the extra mile.
The staff is super friendly, approachable and responsive. They provide one on one attention, unless most law firms that just answer calls and want you money.
They took what was a complicated case that most law firms wouldn't touch, and turned it into a large six figure judgment.
Best law firm. They know how to win a case at trial, unlike most law firms that advertise as such. They will push every button that needs to be done to win your case. I was super satisfied.
