Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in Newport Beach

Know Your Legal Rights When You Have Been Injured

crashed motorcycle on the road

The feeling of being on two wheels on the open road is unlike any other mode of transportation and the only way to travel for motorcycle enthusiasts. However, the openness of motorcycles leaves their riders at risk of serious and catastrophic injury in an accident. The Newport Beach motorcycle accident lawyers at Manning Law, APC help people injured in accidents caused by another person’s negligence or inattentiveness.

Common Motorcycle Accident Causes

Even the safest and most experienced riders are still at risk in an accident. Motorcycle accidents are often caused by inattentive drivers, who aren’t paying attention to their surroundings and don’t see the motorcycle. Accidents may also be caused by road hazards, such as loose gravel and potholes, which result from the failure of state and local agencies to maintain safe road conditions.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

California’s universal helmet law requires riders to wear helmets to reduce the risk of serious head injury or death. However, motorcycles do not offer the protection of the frame of a car, seatbelts, or airbags. This lack of protection is the main reason riders are at higher risk of serious injury in an accident, compared with drivers and passengers in cars. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycle riders are six times more likely to be injured in an accident.

Injured motorcyclists in Newport Beach often suffer:

Road rash, cuts and scrapes
Broken bones
Traumatic brain injuries
Back and spinal cord injuries
Amputation

Establishing fault is essential to prevailing in your claim.

I would give Manning Law 10 stars if Yelp allowed. I highly recommend them!
“I was in my car going to work last year and another car ran into me causing significant damage. I was injured and needed representation. A close friend of mine had used The Manning Law Office in the past and had great results so I decided to use them as well. Joe Manning handled my case and I could not have been happier with the outcome. I had numerous doctor appointments and treatments during the 1st year following my injury and Mr. Manning's senior paralegal Julia took care me like I was family. She made my doctor appts., called to check up weekly and guided me through the process during my difficult time. I would give Manning Law 10 stars if Yelp allowed. I highly recommend them!”
