Need a Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Riverside? I Can Help

A motorcycle crash in Riverside 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 understands both California motorcycle law and the real-world dangers riders face in and around Riverside.

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 Riverside and nearby areas including Banning, Beaumont, Blythe, and Calimesa.

Watch: What Injured Riders in Riverside Need to Know

Before you talk to an insurance adjuster about your crash in Riverside, watch this video so you understand your rights as a rider.

Motorcycle Crashes in Riverside and Riverside County County

Riverside and the surrounding communities of Banning, Beaumont, Blythe, and Calimesa see
a mix of local traffic, commuters, and tourists
that create serious dangers for motorcyclists.

Most motorcycle collisions in this area are caused by drivers who simply are not paying attention.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in and around Riverside include:

Drivers turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles
• Unsafe lane changes on major roads and freeways serving Riverside and nearby Banning and Beaumont
• Distracted drivers who fail to see motorcycles
• Following too closely and rear-end collisions
• Road hazards like potholes, debris, gravel, and bad pavement

In almost every serious crash, the rider suffers far worse injuries than anyone in a car.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Riverside

Motorcycle crashes in Riverside and throughout Riverside 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

Insurance companies frequently try to downplay these injuries or claim they were “pre-existing.”

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.

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

Insurance companies often assume riders are reckless — but the law says otherwise.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Riverside

After a motorcycle crash in Riverside or nearby Banning, Beaumont, Blythe, or Calimesa, 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.
