Motorcycle Passenger Accidents

Riding on the back of your friend’s bike along Long Beach’s breathtaking Pacific Coast Highway is an incredible experience that not many of us would pass up. For many area residents, motorcycling is a way of life. But all too often the perfect ride ends when an out-of-control driver enters the picture or the operator hits a pothole, and the passenger becomes victim to a crash that was beyond their control. Regardless of the events that occurred, if you are injured as a passenger, you have the right to be compensated for your medical expenses and injuries. If you find yourself the victim of a motorcycle passenger accident, Jamal Injury Law P.C. is here to help you understand your rights and ensure that the responsible party is fully prosecuted.

When a motorcycle passenger accident unexpectedly occurs, the injured party may not know what to do or what their rights are. This is especially true if a friend or loved one was operating the motorcycle at the time of the accident. In particular, the injured passenger may be worried about how much the accident will cost the operator or what the repercussions will be for them.

In reality, this is the last thing you should be thinking about if you’ve been injured in an accident on a Newport Beach roadway. Whether the responsible party is the motorcycle operator or another driver, as long as they have insurance, it will usually cover the accident, which means the insurance company, not your friend, will pay for your medical bills. Because of this, if you’re injured as a passenger your first priority should always be to get medical care.

Regardless of the circumstances of your accident, you should never feel obligated to pay for your own medical expenses if you are injured. If the insurance company is unwilling to reimburse you for the full cost your injuries, your next step is to enlist the help of a Newport Beach motorcycle accident lawyer who can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Because motorcycle passenger accidents can be extremely serious and result in major injuries and high medical bills, it is not uncommon for insurance companies to try to avoid paying for certain expenses to cut costs. At Jamal Injury Law P.C., we unfortunately see this happen far too often in the Newport Beach area. But when your accident results in life-altering injuries or disabilities, lost time from work, or physical therapy, it is imperative that the responsible party covers all of these costs. Since these cases are often complex, working with an experienced lawyer is sometimes the only way to receive the full compensation you need to restore your life to normalcy.

If you are in need of legal assistance, our team of local lawyers is here to help. We have successfully handled many motorcycle passenger accident cases and will fight for your rights until you are properly compensated.

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident while you were a passenger, your best course of action is to have a Newport Beach attorney working for you to secure your insurance claim. A lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company for you and can often achieve a quicker and better result than you could on your own. If you have unsuccessfully tried to negotiate with the insurance company, the best thing you can do to secure maximum compensation is to take legal action.

Our consultations are always free, so even if you are unsure whether or not you have a case, we can help you understand your rights and give you the peace of mind you need to move forward.
