Fountain Valley Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Fountain Valley Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcycle accidents are less common than most other vehicle accidents, but they have a much higher chance of resulting in catastrophic or fatal injuries. If you or a loved one has been hurt in a motorcycle accident, you need to know how you can recover your losses. An experienced Fountain Valley motorcycle accident lawyer can be an invaluable asset in this case, and the team at Easton & Easton is ready to provide the legal representation you need in this situation.

The attorneys at Easton & Easton have decades of experience representing injured clients in Fountain Valley and surrounding communities of California. If you or a family member is struggling with the effects of a motorcycle accident that another driver caused, trust our team to help you hold them accountable and recover compensation for your damages.
You need legal representation on your side to help you prove fault for the accident, to guide you through the complex insurance claim filing process, and to build a comprehensive personal injury case for you. In every case we accept, we strive to help our clients recover as fully as state law allows and to do so efficiently, reducing the time our clients must wait to secure the compensation they need to recover from their accident.
Proving Liability for a Motorcycle Accident in Fountain Valley
All vehicle accident cases in California are resolved based on fault, meaning you will need to prove fault for the accident before you can obtain any compensation for your damages. This will be more challenging in some cases than others, and you may not know how to obtain the evidence you need to establish liability.
Most motorcycle accidents in Fountain Valley happen because of driver negligence, such as distracted driving, moving violations, or speeding. They may also occur because of intentional misconduct like intoxicated driving. Your personal injury attorney in Fountain Valley can gather the evidence needed to prove the exact cause of your accident and then explain the steps you will need to take to ensure accountability for your losses.
Recovering Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident
If you can prove another driver is responsible for causing your accident, you can seek compensation for any economic and non-economic damages they inflicted. A successful case may yield compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, and the pain and suffering you experienced. This recovery process will usually begin with an auto insurance claim, but dealing with insurance companies is often more challenging than many people expect.
An insurance company is likely to try to avoid paying out a settlement if possible. They may try to use your own words against you in their efforts to justify devaluing or denying your claim. Your Fountain Valley motorcycle accident lawyer at Easton & Easton can help you file your claim and resolve any such issues you encounter. They can also help you build your personal injury case when insurance will not fully cover your losses.
A motorcycle accident can easily cause life-changing injuries and expensive economic losses for the victim and their family. The attorneys at Easton & Easton have the skill and experience required to resolve the most complex motorcycle accident cases in Fountain Valley and will do everything we can to maximize your recovery. Reach out to our team at your first opportunity so we can get started building your case.
FAQs
How Do You Prove Fault for a Motorcycle Accident in Fountain Valley?
You can prove fault for a motorcycle accident in Fountain Valley with various types of evidence, including vehicle computer data, cell phone records, and statements from witnesses who saw the accident happen. One of the most important pieces of evidence will be the police report, which is why it is crucial to call 911 immediately to report any accident in California.
How Much Compensation Can You Claim for a Motorcycle Accident?
The amount of compensation you can claim for a motorcycle accident will depend on the severity of the injuries you suffered and whether you sustained any permanent damage. A successful personal injury case in California can potentially yield compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Working with an experienced attorney greatly increases your chances of maximizing your compensation.
What Happens When a Plaintiff Shares Fault With a Defendant?
If a plaintiff shares fault with a defendant, the state’s rule for pure comparative fault applies to their case. Each party that has any liability is assigned a fault percentage, and the plaintiff’s fault percentage is subtracted from their case award to reflect their shared responsibility. If you are concerned that you might share fault in your motorcycle accident case, it is crucial to consult an attorney at your first opportunity.
How Long Does It Take to Settle a Motorcycle Accident Case?
The time required to settle a motorcycle accident case will depend on whether the defendant accepts or contests liability, whether the plaintiff can fully recover their losses through an auto insurance claim, and whether the plaintiff has legal representation. It can take several weeks to several months to resolve a case, depending on its complexity. Your attorney can provide an estimate of what to expect with your case.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless.
