Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do Immediately After a Motorcycle Accident?

Your immediate actions after a motorcycle accident can significantly impact your legal case. First, ensure your safety and seek medical attention, no matter how minor you think your injuries are. Next, report the accident to the police to have an official record. Document the scene by taking photos and gathering witnesses' information. Inform your insurance company but avoid making any statements about fault. Finally, contact a professional motorcycle accident lawyer to discuss your legal options and ensure your rights are protected. At Leigh Law Firm, we provide free consultations to help you understand the best course of action.

How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim in San Diego?

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including motorcycle accidents, is typically two years from the date of the accident. However, it's advisable to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and strengthen your case. Delays can complicate the process of gathering critical evidence and witness testimonies, potentially affecting the outcome of your case. At Leigh Law Firm, we encourage early contact to maximize your chances of a successful claim.

How Is Liability Determined in a Motorcycle Accident?

Liability in motorcycle accidents is determined based on negligence. This involves proving that the other party breached a duty of care that directly resulted in your injuries. Evidence such as traffic camera footage, eyewitness testimonies, police reports, and expert reconstruction of the accident scene are often used to establish liability. At Leigh Law Firm, we excel in thoroughly investigating accident scenes and securing the necessary evidence to build a strong case.

The process of establishing liability can be complex, especially when multiple vehicles or factors are involved. Our legal team has the experience to dissect these complexities, utilizing witnesses in fields such as accident reconstruction and vehicle mechanics to fortify your claim. Our commitment is to ensure that liability is accurately assigned, ensuring that responsible parties are held accountable for their actions.

What Compensation Can I Receive for My Motorcycle Accident?

Compensation for motorcycle accidents can cover a wide range of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damages, and punitive damages if applicable. The amount is contingent on factors such as the extent of injuries, impact on quality of life, and degree of fault. Our legal team at Leigh Law Firm is dedicated to pursuing maximum compensation that truly reflects the impact of the accident on your life.

We analyze each aspect of your case meticulously, from the immediate costs of medical treatment to the long-term implications on your earnings and lifestyle.
