Sacramento Motorcycle Accident Attorney

More Than 40 Years of Experience in Injury Representation

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident due to the negligence of another, you need an attorney, because some insurance providers are not on your side. Their goal is to pay out as little as possible, so that they can preserve their own profitability. At The Law Office of Michael R. Loewen on the other hand, defending your best interests is our first priority. We strive to maximize your recovery and to fight for the compensation you deserve.

What are the causes of motorcycle accidents?

Although motorcycle riders often have the stereotype of being "risky" and "reckless" riders, a majority of motorcycle accidents are not the fault of the motorcyclist. In fact, the negligence of cars and trucks are typically the ones to blame for a large number of crashes. Yet, motorcyclists suffer the vast majority of fatalities and injuries in these types of accidents. Riding a motorcycle is 35 times more dangerous per mile traveled than the risk faced by passengers of a conventional vehicles.

Common reasons for motorcycle accidents:

• Drive too fast for weather conditions or over the posted speed limit
• Drive while distracted, such as by texting, eating, or talking on the phone
• Fail to look both ways when making a turn
• Change lanes suddenly and unsafely such as by failing to use turn signals or to properly check for cyclists or other drivers before maneuvering
• Ignore traffic signs including stoplights and yield signs
