Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Los Angeles, California

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles, California, you need more than just a typical car accident lawyer.

I am Norman Gregory Fernandez, a California personal injury attorney and lifelong biker who understands both California motorcycle law and the real-world dangers riders face in and around Los Angeles.

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 Los Angeles and nearby areas including Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, and Artesia.

Watch: What Injured Riders in Los Angeles Need to Know

This video covers what injured riders in and around Los Angeles should know about dealing with insurance companies, police reports, and jury prejudice.

Motorcycle Crashes in Los Angeles and Los Angeles County 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 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 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.

Many riders in Los Angeles are shocked when reports assume the crash was their fault.

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.

When you’re dealing with the aftermath of a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles, you don’t just need a personal injury attorney —
you need a real biker who understands what you’re going through.

For nearly 30 years, I’ve represented injured motorcyclists across California, fighting against insurance companies that routinely blame riders, minimize injuries, or deny claims outright. I understand the bias against bikers, the physics of motorcycle crashes, the mechanics of riding, and how to present your case so a jury truly understands what happened.

Whether your crash happened in Los Angeles, Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, or anywhere else in Los Angeles County, you’ll get:

  • Direct access to me — not case managers or “settlement mill” staff

  • Aggressive investigation including scene analysis, bike damage, and rider dynamics

  • Medical and insurance coordination so you can focus on healing

  • Maximum-value settlement strategies designed specifically for motorcycle cases

I’ve been riding motorcycles my entire adult life — Harleys, sport bikes, cruisers — and I’ve been running the Biker Law Blog for nearly two decades. I know what it means to fight for the biker community, and I know how devastating these crashes can be.

You’re not just another case file here.
You’re a fellow rider.
