California
Motorcycle Injury Accident Attorneys
"When
I get a call on a new motorcycle case, I always have mixed emotions.
I know that there is a good chance the police report favors the
car that hit them. Usually I will find that the witnesses exaggerated
the speed of the motorcycle because most bikes are louder than cars.
Invariably, the injuries are severe."
-Attorney Mike Padway

FIRST,
I LISTEN. Then I create a plan specific to the individual California
motorcycle accident case. Often there is an easily overlooked
fact, that, when brought to light, provides proof on an issue that
can't be denied. I've been a motorcycle rider since shortly after
getting my first driver's license. I remember buying my first bike,
and getting on the road with not much more than an explanation of
how the controls work. Even today, the same thing occurs, all over
the country. Kids are put on superbikes that even experts find challenging.
A good portion of the public has a negative view of motorcyclists,
and many of them fail to see a motorcycle, because they don't expect
one. Many police reports fail because the officer lacks a basic
understanding of motorcycle accident mechanics. Witnesses
routinely overestimate the speed of a motorcyclist, because they
equate noise with speed, and because they are surprised by the fact
a motorcycle is there.
I've been co-chairman of a committee for the ABA on the handling
of large and complex cases, I've handled cases where the understanding
of motorcycle mechanics have saved the day, I've ridden thousands
of miles on many different motorcycles, I've had motorcycle courses
with the best, and I've worked with the best motorcycle accident
reconstruction experts there are.
I believe that motorcyclists are one of the most mistreated minorities
left in the court system. They are misunderstood, mistreated, and,
because of the severity of injury, they are the most in need of
quality legal representation of any group of its size.
