Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
A motorcycle crash in Los Angeles is not just another auto case – it requires an attorney who understands how riders think, ride, and get hurt.
I am Norman Gregory Fernandez, a California personal injury attorney and lifelong biker who has spent nearly three decades fighting for injured motorcyclists across Los Angeles County and the rest of the state.
Motorcycle accident cases are fundamentally different from car accident cases.
Bikes handle, brake, and react differently, and riders have almost no physical protection. Most personal injury attorneys do not ride and don’t truly understand these differences.
As both a rider and an attorney, I use that knowledge to build strong cases for injured bikers in Los Angeles and nearby areas including Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, and Artesia.
Watch: What Injured Riders in Los Angeles Need to Know
In this short video, I explain what really happens after a motorcycle crash in California, how insurance companies treat riders, and why biker cases must be handled differently than car accidents.
Motorcycle Crashes in Los Angeles and Los Angeles County
Los Angeles and the surrounding communities of Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, and Artesia see busy roads, distracted drivers, and fast-moving vehicles that create serious dangers for motorcyclists.
All it takes is one driver looking at a phone instead of the road to destroy a rider’s life.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents in and around Los Angeles include:
Drivers turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles
• Unsafe lane changes on major roads and freeways serving Los Angeles and nearby Agoura Hills and Alhambra
• 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 Los Angeles
Motorcycle crashes in Los Angeles and throughout Los Angeles 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
Adjusters often argue that the injuries are exaggerated.
My job is to show the long-term impact your injuries have on your life and future.
California Motorcycle Laws and Rider Bias
California has unique motorcycle laws, including legal lane splitting, strict helmet rules, and comparative negligence.
In collisions around Los Angeles, police and insurance companies often misinterpret these laws.
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
Riding a motorcycle does not make you the “bad guy.”
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Los Angeles
After a motorcycle crash in Los Angeles or nearby Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, or Artesia, 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
Talking to a lawyer before the insurance company protects your rights.
