Top Motorcycle Injury Lawyer Serving Santa Ana

When a rider goes down in Santa Ana, California, the last thing you need is a lawyer who has never thrown a leg over a bike.

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 Santa Ana.

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 Santa Ana and nearby areas including Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Brea, and Buena Park.

Watch: What Injured Riders in Santa Ana Need to Know

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

Motorcycle Crashes in Santa Ana and Orange County County

Santa Ana and the surrounding communities of Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Brea, and Buena Park see
heavy traffic and frequent lane changes
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 Santa Ana include:

Drivers turning left in front of oncoming motorcycles
• Unsafe lane changes on major roads and freeways serving Santa Ana and nearby Aliso Viejo and Anaheim
• 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 Santa Ana

Motorcycle crashes in Santa Ana and throughout Orange 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

Adjusters often argue that the injuries are exaggerated.

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.

Many riders in Santa Ana 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

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

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Santa Ana

After a motorcycle crash in Santa Ana or nearby Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Brea, or Buena Park, 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.
