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

A motorcycle crash in San Jose 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 Santa Clara County County and all of California.

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 PI attorneys don’t understand countersteering, lane positioning, or the constant risk of driver inattention that bikers live with every day.

As both a rider and an attorney, I use that knowledge to build strong cases for injured bikers in San Jose and nearby areas including Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, and Los Altos.

Watch: What Injured Riders in San Jose Need to Know

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

Motorcycle Crashes in San Jose and Santa Clara County County

San Jose and the surrounding communities of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, and Los Altos see
busy roads, distracted drivers, and fast-moving vehicles
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 Jose include:

Drivers turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles
• Unsafe lane changes on major roads and freeways serving San Jose and nearby Campbell and Cupertino
• 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 San Jose

Motorcycle crashes in San Jose and throughout Santa Clara 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 make sure your injuries are fully documented.

California Motorcycle Laws and Rider Bias

California has unique motorcycle laws, including legal lane splitting, strict helmet rules, and comparative negligence.

In collisions around San Jose, 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 San Jose

After a motorcycle crash in San Jose or nearby Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, or Los Altos, 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.
