Fresno Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
When a rider goes down in Fresno, California, the last thing you need is a lawyer who has never thrown a leg over a bike.
I am Norman Gregory Fernandez, a California personal injury attorney and lifelong biker who represents injured riders throughout Fresno County and all of California.
Motorcycle accident cases are fundamentally different from car accident cases.
Bikes handle, brake, and react differently, and riders have almost no physical protection. Many lawyers have never been on a motorcycle and don’t know how a split-second decision can mean the difference between life and death.
As both a rider and an attorney, I use that knowledge to build strong cases for injured bikers in Fresno and nearby areas including Clovis, Coalinga, Firebaugh, and Fowler.
Watch: What Injured Riders in Fresno Need to Know
Before you talk to an insurance adjuster about your crash in Fresno, watch this video so you understand your rights as a rider.
Motorcycle Crashes in Fresno and Fresno County
Fresno and the surrounding communities of Clovis, Coalinga, Firebaugh, and Fowler see a mix of local traffic, commuters, and tourists that create serious dangers for motorcyclists.
Even when a rider does everything right, one careless driver can cause a catastrophic crash.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents in and around Fresno include:
Drivers turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles
• Unsafe lane changes on major roads and freeways serving Fresno and nearby Clovis and Coalinga
• Distracted drivers who fail to see motorcycles
• Following too closely and rear-end collisions
• Road hazards like potholes, debris, gravel, and bad pavement
Because motorcycles offer so little protection, even a “minor” impact can cause major injuries.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Fresno
Motorcycle crashes in Fresno and throughout Fresno County often result in:
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Fractured legs, arms, ribs, pelvis, and collarbones
• Severe road rash and skin loss that sometimes requires grafts
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Internal organ injuries and internal bleeding
• Soft tissue injuries and chronic pain
Insurance companies frequently try to downplay these injuries or claim they were “pre-existing.”
My job is to work with your doctors and experts to prove the full extent of your injuries.
California Motorcycle Laws and Rider Bias
California has unique motorcycle laws, including legal lane splitting, strict helmet rules, and comparative negligence.
Even when you follow the law, you may still face bias because you ride a motorcycle.
As both a biker and a lawyer, I understand:
• How lane splitting must be evaluated
• How helmet issues affect a claim
• How comparative negligence works
• How to overcome prejudice against riders in a jury’s mind
Just because you were on a motorcycle does not mean you were at fault.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Fresno
After a motorcycle crash in Fresno or nearby Clovis, Coalinga, Firebaugh, or Fowler, you should:
• Seek immediate medical care
• Photograph the scene, bike damage, gear, and injuries
• Collect witness and driver info
• Avoid recorded statements
• Contact a motorcycle accident attorney who rides
The steps you take early on can make or break your claim.
