Proving Fault for a Motorcycle Accident in Rancho Santa Margarita
California resolves all vehicle accident cases using a fault-based system. This means the driver at fault for causing an accident is liable for the resulting damages, so an injured driver must prove fault before they can recover any compensation from a defendant. Most motorcycle accidents in Rancho Santa Margarita happen because of driver negligence, such as speeding, distracted driving, or moving violations.
Easton & Easton can help you gather evidence like cell phone records, vehicle computer data, the police report from your accident, and eyewitness statements from those who saw the accident happen. If any disputes arise regarding fault, trust our team to resolve these issues for you and hold the correct parties accountable for the harm they have caused.
Securing Compensation for Your Damages After a Motorcycle Accident
Once you have proven fault for your accident, you can claim compensation for your losses. It’s possible for you to recover compensation for any economic or non-economic damages you suffered because of the defendant’s negligence or misconduct. Recovering compensation will usually begin with filing an auto insurance claim against the defendant. You must prove they are directly responsible for causing your claimed damages.
Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging because they will almost always try to fight your claim. Your attorney can negotiate for you and ensure you receive a fair settlement offer. If the defendant does not have auto insurance, or their policy will not fully cover your losses, your personal injury attorney in Rancho Santa Margarita can help you file a personal injury case.
A successful personal injury case in Rancho Santa Margarita can potentially yield compensation for property losses, medical expenses, lost wages, and the pain and suffering the defendant inflicted. Due to the severity of most motorcycle accidents, it is possible for your case to be worth much more than you may have initially expected. Easton & Easton will do everything we can to maximize your recovery.
FAQs
Who Is at Fault for a Motorcycle Accident in Rancho Santa Margarita?
Fault for a motorcycle accident in Rancho Santa Margarita could fall to one party or multiple parties. These accidents commonly occur because of speeding, distracted driving, intoxicated driving, or moving violations. If you believe another party is responsible for causing your motorcycle accident, you will need an attorney’s help to gather proof of liability before you can recover compensation for your damages.
How Much Compensation Can I Win for a Motorcycle Accident?
The amount of compensation you could win for a motorcycle accident will depend on the overall severity of your injuries, whether you share any fault for causing the accident, and whether you have experienced legal representation on your side. You have the right to seek full compensation for any economic losses you suffered as well as for your pain and suffering. Easton & Easton can accurately calculate the full potential value of your case.
What Happens if I’m Partially at Fault for My Accident?
If you are partially at fault for your accident, California’s pure comparative fault rule will apply to your case, and you will have a fault percentage assigned. If you resolve your case in court, this percentage will be deducted from your case award, and you will keep the remainder. Shared fault is likely to be used against you in an auto insurance case, so if you are worried that you are partially liable for your accident, it is crucial to consult an experienced attorney.
How Long Does It Take to Settle a Motorcycle Accident Case in Rancho Santa Margarita?
The time it could take to settle a motorcycle accident case in Rancho Santa Margarita will depend on the specific details of the case. If you have experienced legal counsel on your side, the right attorney could help you resolve the case relatively quickly, but more complex cases are inherently more difficult and time-consuming. It may take several weeks to several months to resolve your motorcycle accident case in Rancho Santa Margarita.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Rancho Santa Margarita Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?
The cost to hire a Rancho Santa Margarita motorcycle accident lawyer will be a percentage of your case award if you choose Easton & Easton to represent you. We take personal injury cases on contingency, meaning our firm only charges our client a fee if and when we win their case. If there is no recovery, there is no fee, so there is no risk in choosing our firm to represent you.
Easton & Easton can help you make sense of your legal options for recovering from your motorcycle accident, and we are confident we can guide you to a positive result. You only have a short time in which to build your case, so it is important that you get started as quickly as possible.

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. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
