Motorcycle accidents often lead to more than just physical injury. Many victims face long recovery periods, limited mobility, and major lifestyle changes. Financial compensation in motorcycle collisions may include special, general, and punitive damages.
Economic or special damages include tangible losses such as:
Non-economic or general damages account for harder-to-quantify impacts like:
Punitive damages may apply in cases involving gross negligence, such as DUI crashes, and are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior.

Motorcycle riders have very little protection in a crash, which means injuries are often more serious and recovery times much longer. Below are some of the most common and severe injuries we see in motorcycle accident cases.
Motorcycle crashes often result in damage to the spine, which can lead to permanent paralysis, loss of sensation, or ongoing nerve pain. These injuries typically require long-term care and can drastically alter your quality of life.
Even with a helmet, riders can suffer TBIs that cause memory loss, mood disorders, or cognitive impairment. These injuries may not be immediately visible but can have long-lasting effects.
Broken bones are extremely common in motorcycle accidents. Victims often need surgeries, casts, and extensive rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility.
Severe abrasions to a rider’s skin due to friction with the road’s surface are called road rash. In serious cases, this injury may require skin grafts and leave permanent scarring.
Blunt-force trauma can damage internal organs, causing bleeding or organ failure. These injuries are life-threatening if not promptly treated and often require emergency surgery.
At Thompson Law, it we provide motorcycle crash victims with tenacious legal support and personalized care. We manage every aspect of your claim so that you can focus on your recovery.
Your health and peace of mind are our priorities. Let us stand up for you and demand the fair value of your claim. Call today and learn what your next steps could be.
Motorcycle crashes differ from typical car accidents in several critical ways. Riders are more exposed to serious injury, and public bias may influence how your case is viewed. Complex liability issues and severe damages require a thorough approach.
Multiple parties may be involved, such as commercial drivers, government agencies responsible for road maintenance, or manufacturers of defective parts.
There’s often a presumption of rider fault, which we actively work to challenge using evidence and expert testimony.
Medical complications from severe injuries can be long-term, requiring life care plans and future loss projections.
Strict legal deadlines apply to motorcycle accident claims. If missed, you could lose your right to recover compensation altogether.
Many clients delay seeking legal help because they don’t know what to expect. At Thompson Law, we make the process straightforward and supportive from day one. Our goal is to relieve your stress, not add to it.
We’ll introduce you to a legal professional who will take the time to hear your story and give you honest feedback about your options.

We gather the critical information needed to prove liability and damages (before that evidence disappears).
You’ll get regular updates and compassionate guidance so you’re never in the dark.
You don’t need to pay us anything from your pocket. Our services won’t cost you a buck until we are able to secure rightful compensation for you. Thompson Law’s team is with you through every step.
Liability can extend beyond just the driver who hit you. Depending on the circumstances, others may also be responsible, and identifying all liable parties can increase your chances of recovering the compensation you deserve. Here are some scenarios that you might come across:
We conduct a thorough investigation to hold every responsible party accountable.
After a motorcycle crash, the evidence you gather can significantly affect the outcome of your claim. It tells the story of what really happened and supports the injuries and losses you’ve endured. Here are some key pieces of evidence that can help strengthen your case and protect your right to fair compensation.
Helmet use is not only for physical protection against harm, but wearing one also demonstrates responsible riding. This can impact how liability is assessed in your claim.
Images taken at the scene can show vehicle positions, road conditions, and visible injuries. This visual evidence is powerful in establishing fault.
Testimony from medical professionals, accident reconstructionists, or mechanical experts can strengthen your case by providing technical validation of your injuries, the crash dynamics, or mechanical failures. These statements often carry significant weight with insurance adjusters and juries, supporting your claim with objective, specialized insight.
An official police report often includes observations, fault assignments, and citations that support your version of events.
Comprehensive medical documentation shows the extent and cause of your injuries and supports the value of your claim.
Helmet use plays a significant role in both injury prevention and legal outcomes. If you were wearing a helmet, it demonstrates responsibility and may reduce arguments against your claim. However, even if you weren’t wearing one, you may still be entitled to compensation, depending on the nature of your injuries and local laws.
DOT-approved helmets are required by California law for all motorcyclists and their passengers. Failing to do so could lead to partial liability in court, especially in head injury claims. That said, helmet use does not automatically disqualify you from filing a claim.

Yes, you should always exchange information at the scene, even if injuries seem minor. This includes names, contact details, insurance info, and vehicle registration. Gathering this early information will help support your future claim.
You can still file a civil injury claim even if the at-fault driver faces criminal DUI charges. In fact, DUI cases often lead to stronger civil claims due to the reckless nature of the conduct. Compensation in DUI-related cases may include punitive damages as well.
Yes. In California, two years from the date of the accident is the time given to file a personal injury lawsuit. If the case involves a government entity, you may have only six months to file a claim. Delaying action could prevent you from recovering compensation entirely.
