FAQs

What If the Other Driver Doesn't Have Insurance?

If you were involved in a motorcycle accident with an uninsured driver in California, you still have options to recover compensation. If you have uninsured motorist coverage, you may be able to file a claim through your own insurance policy to cover damages and injuries. This type of coverage is designed to protect you in situations where the at-fault driver lacks insurance or has insufficient coverage.

To maximize your compensation, it’s important to consult with an attorney who understands how to handle uninsured motorist claims. At Accident Daddy, we specialize in motorcycle accident cases involving uninsured drivers. Contact us today for a free consultation, and let us fight for the compensation you deserve.

What If I Was Partially at Fault for the Motorcycle Accident?

Even if you were partially at fault for the motorcycle accident, you may still be eligible for compensation under California’s comparative negligence laws. This means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages.

An experienced attorney at Accident Daddy can assess your case and help ensure you receive fair compensation, even if you were partially at fault. Reach out for a free consultation to explore your legal options.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Motorcycle Accident?

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit after a motorcycle accident is generally two years from the date of the accident. It’s critical to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing this deadline. In some cases, like if the injured party was a minor at the time of the accident, the time limit may be extended.

To ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines, it’s best to seek legal advice right away. Accident Daddy can guide you through the process and make sure your rights are protected.

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, so it’s important to consult an attorney to understand your options for compensation.

  • Gather information about the accident, including the contact details of witnesses and the insurance information of all drivers involved.
  • Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.
  • Contact Accident Daddy for legal advice on how to proceed with your claim and protect your rights.

What Are Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

Motorcycle accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, and many factors contribute to these incidents, particularly when drivers are inexperienced or negligent. Common causes include:

  • Speeding
  • Unsafe or illegal lane changes
  • Lane splitting
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Defective equipment
  • Sudden stops
  • Distracted driving
