Need a Motorcycle Accident Attorney in San Diego? I Can Help

A motorcycle crash in San Diego 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 San Diego.

Treating a motorcycle crash like a routine auto case is a serious mistake.

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 San Diego and nearby areas including Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, and Del Mar.

Watch: What Injured Riders in San Diego Need to Know

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

Motorcycle Crashes in San Diego and San Diego County County

San Diego and the surrounding communities of Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, and Del Mar 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 San Diego include:

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

When a car or truck hits a bike, the motorcyclist absorbs the full force of the impact.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries in San Diego

Motorcycle crashes in San Diego and throughout San Diego 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 San Diego 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

Just because you were on a motorcycle does not mean you were at fault.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in San Diego

After a motorcycle crash in San Diego or nearby Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, or Del Mar, 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.
