San Francisco Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycles on roadways are given little protection and usually lose the battle in collisions involving cars or trucks. Sadly, motorcycle accidents are numerous and often fatal.
For motorcyclists who have been involved in an accident, it can be difficult to pursue a claim for recovery. That is because motorcyclists are often perceived as careless and that motorcycling is perceived as dangerous by its nature. However, motorcycle riders, like drivers and passengers in any other vehicle, have a right to enjoy the roadways in safety. The attorneys of Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, advocate for the rights of accident victims and their families in lawsuits arising from a serious or fatal motorcycle accidents.

Due to their size, bikers on motorcycles, mopeds, Vespas, motorized cycles and three and four wheel carts face many dangers:
- Other negligent drivers: Too often, motorcycle accidents occur because an inattentive driver failed to see a motorcyclist and cut in front of them when changing lanes or making turns. Other negligent driving traits include following too close or failing to give motorcyclists adequate lane space.
- Defective or dangerous highways : Dangerous roads are problematic for any vehicle. However, when a road is poorly designed or maintained, it can result in even more risk for motorcycle riders. Uneven lanes or pavement, loose gravel, potholes, dangerous intersections or curves and other highway issues can cause a motorcyclist to lose control and spin out. Resulting crashes can have a significant impact on the rider's future.
