Assisting Injured Victims Throughout California
Though not undoubtedly more common than other auto accidents, motorcycle accidents are often more devastating. Such collisions almost always result in catastrophic or potentially fatal injuries because motorcycles lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle. While some accidents are inevitable, motorcycle accidents are often caused by reckless, careless, or negligent car drivers.
When another party’s reckless behavior causes an accident that leaves you injured, you shouldn’t have to deal with it on your own. If you or a loved one was involved in a motorcycle accident that resulted in any physical injuries, emotional distress, or even death, our team of licensed attorneys is here to help. At Golfeiz Law, we can get you the compensation you seek, and the peace of mind you deserve.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Other drivers are often to blame for motorcycle accidents. In many cases, other drivers fail to look for motorcyclists before changing lanes, turning, or stopping at red lights. This can be proven dangerous, especially since motorcycles are smaller and faster than cars.
The most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Speeding
- Distracted or reckless driving
- Driver or biker inexperience
- Unsafe lane changes or improper turns
- Sudden stop collision – This occurs when another motor vehicle rear-ends a motorcycle from behind
- Open door accidents – This occurs when a random vehicle opens its door in the middle of the road and hits a motorcycle driver.
- Hazardous weather and highways
Unfortunately, almost all motorcycle accidents are serious and result in injuries. The financial stress due to mounting medical bills makes the trauma even harder to bear. At Golfeiz Law, we believe that you shouldn’t have to suffer on your own. Our Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyers are prepared to handle your case from start to finish—so you can focus on your recovery.
