Riders Have Little Between Them and the Road
Any crash can cause serious injuries, but a motorcyclist has very little protecting them when a car or truck makes contact, or when they’re thrown from the bike. A helmet helps, and California requires one, but it isn’t perfect: riders can still suffer serious head injuries while wearing one, and a helmet does nothing for the rest of the body.
We help riders recovering from injuries such as:
Head injuries, including brain injuries suffered while wearing a helmet
Broken bones from the impact or the fall
Back injuries and internal organ trauma
Road rash, cuts, and lacerations from contact with the pavement
Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress after the crash
Some riders recover fully. Others live with permanent limits on their mobility, lasting scars, or both. Your claim should reflect where your recovery is really headed, not just where it stands today.
Taking Care of Yourself, and Your Claim, While You Recover
Follow through on every stage of treatment.
Hospital care, surgery, and physical therapy each document what the crash did to you.
Take emotional symptoms seriously.
Anger, sleeplessness, flashbacks, or depression are real injuries. Tell your doctor and get treatment.
Keep a recovery journal.
Note pain levels, what you can’t do yet, and the days that are hardest. It helps show what numbers can’t.
Photograph scars and injuries over time.
Road rash and surgical scars change as they heal; a record shows the full course.
Track the work you miss.
Keep pay stubs and notes from your employer about the time off your recovery requires.
Wait for the full picture before settling.
Permanent effects may not be clear for months. An early settlement can’t be reopened later.
What Your Injury Claim Can Include
Medical treatment
Hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, and future care your doctors expect you’ll need.
Lost income
The time you’ve missed from work during recovery, and any earnings your injuries take from you in the future.
Permanent harm
Mobility limitations, scarring, and disfigurement that stay with you after treatment ends.
Emotional injuries
Anger, depression, post-traumatic stress, and the difficulty of living in a body the crash has changed.
How We Measure the Lifetime Impact of an Injury
Insurers value injuries by what’s already been billed. We look at what the injury will cost you over the years ahead, physical and emotional:
- Your complete medical records, from the emergency room through therapy
- Doctors’ opinions on permanent effects, like reduced mobility or scarring
- Mental health records documenting anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress
- Evidence of the time you’ve lost from work, and what you may lose in the future
- Photographs and accounts from family showing how daily life has changed
- Your helmet and gear, which show the force of the impact
We aim to negotiate a settlement that covers everything, so you don’t have to relive the crash in a courtroom unless it’s necessary. If the insurer won’t be fair, we’re prepared to go further.
California Law on Motorcycle Injury Compensation
The at-fault party pays
The driver or other party who caused the crash, through their insurer, is responsible for your injuries. If their coverage is too small, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may help.
Emotional harm is compensable
Damages aren’t limited to bills. Pain, suffering, and emotional distress are part of what a claim can recover.
A helmet argument can't erase your claim
California requires riders to wear a helmet. Even if an insurer argues a missing helmet made a head injury worse, California’s pure comparative negligence rule only reduces your recovery; it doesn’t bar it.
Time limits apply
You generally have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, and only six months for claims involving a government vehicle or a dangerous public road.

Sunnyvale Motorcycle Injury FAQs
What injuries are most common in motorcycle accidents?
Head injuries, broken bones, back injuries, internal organ trauma, and road rash. Riders who fall from the bike, even without hitting another vehicle, face many of the same risks.
Can I get a serious head injury even while wearing a helmet?
Yes. A helmet lowers the risk but can’t prevent every head injury. A brain injury suffered while wearing a helmet is fully part of your claim.
Can I be compensated for emotional injuries?
Yes. Anxiety, depression, anger, and post-traumatic stress after a crash are real harms, and treating them matters as much as physical treatment. They’re part of what your claim can recover.
What if my scars affect how I feel about myself?
Scarring and disfigurement can be compensated, including the emotional toll of seeing them every day. We document both the scars and how they affect you.
What if I'll never fully recover?
Your claim should account for permanent effects, such as limited mobility or lasting scars, and the lifetime costs that come with them. That’s why we don’t rush to settle before the full picture is clear.
Will I have to testify in court?
Most injury claims settle through negotiation. We work toward a fair settlement so you don’t have to relive the crash in court, but we’re ready to go to trial if that’s what it takes.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency and are paid only if we recover compensation for you.
