Fairfield Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

California has more registered motorcycles than any other state. We aren’t surprised. Riders enjoy our mild climate and dramatic scenery, whether riding alone or with a group. Sadly, thousands of motorcyclists are hurt each year in accidents, and some will need months of recovery in the hospital or at home. Contact Venardi Zurada today to speak with our office if you were injured while riding a motorcycle. Any injured victim can receive financial compensation from a negligent motorist or other defendant who has liability for the accident. We can explain more in a free consultation with a Fairfield motorcycle accident lawyer.

Who is Liable for Your Injuries?

Motorcycle accidents are dramatic. Many riders will end up with permanent disabilities or disfigurement after crashing into a car going at high speeds. Other victims will slowly recover, but only after surgery and months of grueling physical therapy.

Our firm excels at identifying who is liable for motorcycle accidents in Fairfield. We usually bring an injury claim against:

• Negligent drivers—Motorists might tailgate or cut off a motorcyclist, or else they are driving while distracted because of their cell phone. Many accidents happen at intersections, while others take place on the open road or on side streets. Any collision can send a motorcyclist flying off their bike and suffer horrifying injuries when they land and are possibly run over by other vehicles.
• Drunk and reckless drivers—Some motorists drive without regard for the safety of other people. Being intoxicated is one example, but excessive speeding is another type of recklessness.
• Defective roads—Motorcyclists can go flying off a bike when they hit road debris or a pothole. Other defects involve missing or obscured signs, as well as poorly set up traffic construction zones. Suing the government for a defect is not easy, so call our attorney today.
• Defective motorcycles or component parts—Your bike might malfunction because of a defective part. Imagine if the engine fails to power you as you enter an intersection. That can lead to a collision. We can often sue the manufacturer of a defective part or a mechanic who performed poor repairs.

Under California law, your own negligence could be a contributory factor in any accident. Suppose you cut off a driver, leading to a rear end accident. Your contributory negligence results in a lowered settlement. The good news is that victims in California might still bring an injury claim against any defendant who has at least 1% liability for the wreck.

Negligent and drunk drivers should have liability insurance; it’s required by the state. Our firm will try to negotiate a settlement with an at-fault driver’s insurer and take whatever other steps are necessary, including filing a lawsuit in court before the expiration of the statutory deadline.
