Juries and insurance adjusters sometimes assume the rider was speeding or lane splitting recklessly. Lane splitting is legal in California, and most motorcycle crashes are caused by drivers who didn’t look. We rebuild the crash with photos, camera footage and expert help to show what really happened.

Nothing up front. We work on contingency: we are paid a percentage of what we recover for you, and only if we win. If there is no recovery, you owe us no fee.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
For most injury claims, two years from the date of the injury (Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1). Claims against a city or county can have a deadline as short as six months, so call early.

It depends on your medical bills, lost income, how the injury affects your life, and the insurance available. We give you an honest estimate after we review your case.
