Seal Beach Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Seal Beach Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Motorcycle accidents in Seal Beach can easily cause severe injuries, and the process of recovering compensation for such an accident can be more difficult than the average person expects. If you or a family member was recently injured in a motorcycle crash someone else caused, you need to speak with a Seal Beach motorcycle accident lawyer at your first opportunity.
Representing Motorcycle Accident Victims in Seal Beach, CA
Easton & Easton’s attorneys have decades of experience handling motor vehicle accident cases in the Seal Beach area, including motorcycle accident cases. We know the unique challenges you will likely encounter in your efforts to recover from such an accident and how to help you overcome them. Our goal in every case we accept is to help our client obtain as much compensation as possible, as quickly as possible.
Motorcycle accidents have a much higher chance of resulting in catastrophic or fatal injuries than most other vehicle accidents. This is due to the fact that a motorcycle offers virtually no physical protection in a crash. Even the most experienced riders can suffer life-changing injuries due to the negligence or misconduct of others on the road, and it is vital to know what to do if you are hurt in this type of accident.
Proving Fault for Your Motorcycle Accident in Seal Beach
Your first challenge after a motorcycle accident is proving fault for the crash. Before you are able to recover compensation for you, you must identify the party responsible for the crash and prove that they are directly liable for your claimed losses. Most motorcycle accidents happen because of negligence, but illegal misconduct like intoxicated driving can cause these accidents.
Your Seal Beach motorcycle accident lawyer can gather the evidence you need to prove the exact cause of your accident, identifying the party or parties responsible for your damages. This is likely to require evidence that may not be available for long, so it is crucial to reach out to an experienced personal injury attorney in Seal Beach as quickly as possible after your accident.
Recovering Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident
Every driver in Seal Beach and throughout California must have auto insurance, and when a driver causes an accident, their insurance can pay for the resulting damages. Unfortunately, filing auto insurance claims can be challenging in several ways. Most insurance companies will look for any justification they can find to devalue or deny your claim for coverage, so it is important to have an experienced attorney help you file your claim.
Easton & Easton can ensure you receive a fair offer to settle from the defendant’s auto insurance carrier. Once you have recovered as much as possible from insurance, your attorney can then help you determine whether you have any further recovery options available to you. If insurance will not fully cover your losses, you can file a personal injury suit against the defendant who caused your accident.
In California, the plaintiff in a personal injury case has the right to seek compensation for damage to property, medical expenses, lost income, and the pain and suffering they experienced because of the defendant’s actions. Easton & Easton’s attorneys have the skills and experience necessary to resolve the most challenging personal injury cases in Seal Beach and do everything we can to maximize your case award.
FAQs
How Do You Prove Fault for a Motorcycle Accident in Seal Beach?
You can prove fault for a motorcycle accident in Seal Beach with the police report from the accident, traffic camera footage, if available, cell phone records, and testimony from eyewitnesses. Different types of physical and digital evidence can come into play in these cases, so it is vital to hire an experienced attorney who knows how to gather the evidence you need to build your case.
What Happens if I Share Fault for My Motorcycle Accident?
If you share fault for your motorcycle accident, California’s pure comparative negligence law applies to your case, and you will have a fault percentage assigned. Your percentage of fault is then subtracted from your case award to reflect your shared liability. If you are worried that you will bear partial responsibility for your recent accident, it is crucial to consult an attorney at your first opportunity.
How Much Compensation Can I Recover for a Motorcycle Accident?
The total compensation you could recover for a motorcycle accident will depend on the severity of your injuries, whether you suffered any permanent harm, and whether you are partially at fault for the crash. Your Seal Beach motorcycle accident lawyer may help you obtain compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, property losses, and the pain and suffering you experienced.
Will I Win More Compensation if I Hire a Seal Beach Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?
You will likely win more compensation if you hire a Seal Beach motorcycle accident lawyer than you would likely be able to obtain on your own. An experienced attorney can gather the proof of liability you need to hold a defendant accountable, and they understand how to accurately calculate your claimable damages and maximize your compensation.
How Much Will It Cost Me to Hire a Seal Beach Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?
The cost of hiring a Seal Beach motorcycle accident lawyer will be a percentage of your total compensation if you hire Easton & Easton to represent you. We accept personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only charge our client a fee after we win their case. Additionally, the contingency fee is a percentage of the total amount recovered, so there is no risk of the client paying more for legal counsel than they win in compensation.

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.
