Bicycle and Motorcycle Accidents
Over 10,000 persons were injured or killed on bicycles each year between 2002 and 2006. Fatalities have increased and 155 people died in 2006. More often than not juries find bicyclists at fault at trial. In order to win at trial or obtain a fair settlement, you need experienced attorneys with knowledge and resources to represent you. Bicycle accidents can result in brain injury, paralysis or death and may require life time care. If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, contact our Oakland, California or Stockton, California law office to learn if you have a case.
We have successfully handled bike accident cases including:
- Road hazard causes bicyclist to fall causing head injury

Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents usually result in severe injuries or fatality to the motorcyclists. Not only are motorcyclists more vulnerable to injury than automobile occupants, many people are predisposed to find motorcyclists at fault in accidents. The severity of their injuries and the prevailing prejudice of jurors toward motorcycle riders requires legal representation by a competent experienced attorney. Our law firm has the extensive experience, access to motorcycle experts and the resources to successfully pursue motorcycle accident cases. It is essential that a prompt careful investigation take place soon after a motorcycle accident to preserve and document physical evidence including skid marks, gouge marks, road debris and vehicle damage.

- CHP motorcyclist recovers multi-million dollar jury verdict for burn injuries caused by a defective motorcycle
