The lawyers of The Roberts Law Firm are dedicated to representing victims of motorcycle accidents in Orange County, Newport Beach, and nearby areas.
Motorcycle accidents take several forms, including runs off the road, head-on collisions with other vehicles, and the motorcycle going down in the roadway. Because motorcycles are less stable and less visible than cars, they are more likely than passenger cars to be involved in an accident. In fact, per mile traveled, the number of deaths on motorcycles is about 26 times the number in cars (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). When motorcycle accidents occur, riders are more likely to be seriously injured because they do not have the protection of an enclosed vehicle.
Motorcycle accidents are often devastating to victims and their families. Motorcycle accidents can result in serious injuries or disability, preventing the victim from returning to work and supporting themselves and their family. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident and are in the Orange County or Newport Beach area, our lawyers can help.
