Sacramento Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcyclists involved in collisions with automobiles or large trucks face a high risk for serious injury or death. After an accident, you need an advocate who will protect your rights and represent you aggressively in pursuing your claim.

Our attorneys, with more than 70 years of collective experience, have recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements – see our proven case results. We handle cases in Sacramento and throughout California.
Our Specialization in Motorcycle Accidents
We have represented numerous motorcyclists and their families in injury and wrongful death claims for motorcycle accidents. Founding partner Stephen Estey has been riding motorcycles longer than he has been practicing law, which, as an attorney, gives him a unique understanding of riding a motorcycle and sharing the road with other motorists. In addition to the heightened risk of injury in an accident, our attorneys understand the additional challenges victims of motorcycle accidents face in obtaining compensation for their injuries. Insurance companies often present motorcyclists with very low settlement offers, and witnesses and juries frequently see motorcyclists as risk-taking daredevils who contributed to a crash simply by riding a motorcycle. From past experience and understanding, we are able to clear up these ill-founded misconceptions and help accident victims recover full and fair understanding for their injuries or a loved one’s wrongful death.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents that do not result in fatality can cause devastating injuries, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation injury, head injuries, multiple bone fracture injuries, road rash injuries, burn injuries, and other catastrophic injuries. Costs of medical care can quickly escalate, as injured victims need continuing care. When your entire future depends on the outcome of your personal injury claim, you deserve an attorney with experience, legal ability, and resources.
Motorcycle Accident Fatalities
According to data released from the United States Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in April 2009, 5,154 people died in motorcycle crashes in 2007, a 6.6% increase from 2006. Fatality statistics for 2007 were the highest since the NHTSA began assembling statistics in 1975. Fatality numbers have increased every year for the past decade. According to the NTSA, motorcyclists are 35 more times likely that automobile occupants be die in a crash, and eight times more likely to be injured.
Motorcyclist Fatalities and Wrongful Death Claims
If you have unexpectedly lost someone you love in a motorcycle accident, we realize the grief and suffering you are experiencing. If your loved one’s death was caused by a negligent motorist, negligently maintained road, or defectively designed motorcycle, you may be able to obtain compensation from the party that caused your loved one’s death. A wrongful death claim may include compensation for:
- Final medical expenses
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of child rearing support
- Loss of decedent’s income
- Loss of decedent’s medical and retirement benefits
- Loss of household support
- Non-economic damages (loss of support, companionship and affection)
- Other accident-related expenses.
In motorcycle accidents caused by drunk driving (27% of fatal crashes), you may also be awarded punitive damages from the at-fault party.
Motorcycle Injuries and Helmets
California is one of 20 states that require all motorcyclists to wear helmets (California Vehicle Code, Division 12, Chapter 5, Article 7, Section 27803). According to the NHTSA, motorcycle accidents saved 1,784 lives nationwide in 2007. Helmets are 37 percent effective in preventing fatal injuries and 67 percent effective in preventing brain injuries. If you were injured in a crash and were not wearing a helmet, you may still be able to recover compensation. Contact an attorney for more information.
