Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Sacramento, California
A motorcycle crash in Sacramento 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 represents injured riders throughout Sacramento County and all of California.
A motorcycle collision is not just a “car accident without doors.”
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 Sacramento and nearby areas including Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, and Galt.
Watch: What Injured Riders in Sacramento Need to Know
Before you talk to an insurance adjuster about your crash in Sacramento, watch this video so you understand your rights as a rider.
Motorcycle Crashes in Sacramento and Sacramento County
Sacramento and the surrounding communities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, and Galt 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 Sacramento include:
Drivers turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles
• Unsafe lane changes on major roads and freeways serving Sacramento and nearby Citrus Heights and Elk Grove
• 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 Sacramento
Motorcycle crashes in Sacramento and throughout Sacramento 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
Many insurance companies treat motorcycle injuries as if they were no different than a fender-bender.
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.
In collisions around Sacramento, 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
Just because you were on a motorcycle does not mean you were at fault.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Sacramento
After a motorcycle crash in Sacramento or nearby Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, or Galt, 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.
