Sacramento Motorcycle Accidents Attorneys
Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries to the rider. Motorcycle riders are particularly vulnerable to injury since motorcycles do not offer safety features like protective frames, seat belts or air bags.
John Airola has been a Sacramento motorcycle accident attorney for over 17 years. In his experience, he has found that insurance companies try to blame the rider for aggressive riding even through there is no evidence of it. As a motorcycle owner and rider for nearly 35 years, Mr. Airola is particularly sensitive to this unscrupulous insurance practice.
Before he represented those injured in motorcycle accidents, he represented insurance companies who insure those who caused motorcycle accidents. This unique experience working on both sides provides Mr. Airola with keen insight as to how insurance companies defend those responsible for motorcycle accidents—making him very experienced in representing those who are injured in motorcycle accidents.
If you are injured in a motorcycle accident there are certain things you must do to protect your rights:
- all 911 and make sure a police report is filed, even if you appear to be un-injured at the time of the accident.
- Write down ALL contact information from the other driver, or drivers and witnesses
- Write down the license plate number of all vehicles involved in the accident, including witnesses.
- Seek medical attention right away.
- Keep all clothing you wore at the time of the accident.
- Save all of the clothing you were wearing at the time of the accident;
- Take photographs of damage to your motorcycle, all other vehicles involved, any injuries you or your passengers sustained (bruises, scrapes, road rash, cuts, etc.), and of the scene of the accident. Be sure to capture skid marks, broken glass or pieces of glass, and any other physical evidence at the scene on film before the accident scene is cleaned up or evidence is tampered with.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, it is imperative to speak with an experienced Sacramento motorcycle accident attorney to make sure your rights and interests are protected.
