As a motorcycle accident victim, understanding your rights is essential to ensure you receive fair treatment and compensation. California law offers protections for accident victims, covering medical expenses, lost wages, and more.

The Right to Compensation
Victims have the right to seek compensation for injuries and damages, including medical bills, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and lost income. Knowing your rights to these damages is key when dealing with insurance companies.

Fault Determination
California follows a “fault” system, meaning the party responsible for causing the accident is liable for damages. However, even if you are partially at fault, you can still recover compensation, thanks to California’s comparative fault rule.

Dealing with Insurance Adjusters
Insurance adjusters may attempt to minimize your claim. It’s within your rights to refuse their initial offer if it doesn’t fully cover your damages. Having an attorney negotiate on your behalf ensures your rights are protected and that you receive a fair settlement.

By understanding these rights, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the legal process, safeguarding your ability to receive the compensation you deserve.
