Riders deserve a fierce advocate
Most motorcycle crashes are caused by drivers who simply “didn’t see” the rider — left turns across traffic, unsafe lane changes, opened car doors and tailgating. Yet insurers routinely try to paint motorcyclists as reckless to reduce what they pay. At Erica Chavez Law, we push back with evidence: scene investigation, witness statements, video, vehicle data and expert analysis.
Common causes of motorcycle crashes
- Left-turning vehicles at intersections
- Unsafe lane changes and blind spots
- Distracted or impaired drivers
- Rear-end collisions at lights
- Dooring and sudden stops
- Potholes, debris and dangerous roads
- Defective motorcycle parts
- Speeding and aggressive driving
Serious injuries need serious representation
Motorcycle accidents frequently cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, fractures, road rash, amputations and long-term disability. These injuries require lifelong care — and your claim must account for every future cost, not just today’s bills.
- Current and future medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain, suffering and disfigurement
- Damage to your motorcycle and riding gear
They already hurt you physically. We’re here to make sure they never hurt you financially.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still recover if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
In many cases, yes. Helmet use may affect how certain head-injury damages are calculated depending on your state, but it does not automatically bar your claim — especially when another driver caused the crash.
What if the insurance company says I was partly at fault?
Many states allow you to recover even if you share some fault. Insurers use fault arguments to cut payouts; we gather the evidence to show what really happened.
Does it cost anything to talk to you?
No. Your case evaluation is free, and personal injury cases are typically handled on a contingency-fee basis — no fee unless we win.
