Here to protect your interests, not the insurance company's

Insurance companies have a team.You should have one too.

Insurers bring adjusters, investigators and lawyers to every serious claim, and they value claims to control cost, not to make you whole. After a crash on Blackstone Avenue, Highway 41 or Highway 168, an adjuster may call within days, and what you say can shape the rest of your claim.

Before you sign anything, ask yourself:

  1. Was the crash caused by another driver's carelessness, or by a hazard in the road?
  2. Did the other driver have insurance, and does your own policy include uninsured motorist coverage?
  3. Will the settlement cover your treatment, your bike and your lost income months from now, not just today?

A car accident that left our client with a neck injury. Most people would have taken the offer. We won more than ten times as much.

What you can recover aftera motorcycle accident in California.

Whoever caused the crash, whether another driver, the company they were driving for or a public agency responsible for the road, can be held responsible for what it cost you.

Economic damages

The costs you can add up

  • Emergency care, surgery and hospital bills
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity
  • Repairing or replacing your motorcycle and riding gear

Non-economic damages

The harm that has no receipt

  • Pain and physical suffering
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of companionship
  • Lost enjoyment of life
  • 16%of Fresno's fatal and severe-injury street crashes involve a motorcycleFrom the 2019–2023 crash data in the City's Vision Zero Action Plan, adopted in May 2026.
  • 27×More likely than car occupants to die in a crash, mile for milePer mile traveled, motorcyclists were almost 27 times more likely than people in passenger cars to die in a crash in 2024, and almost 5 times more likely to be injured, according to NHTSA.
  • 80%What you keep if you were 20% at faultCalifornia's pure comparative fault rule reduces your award by your share of the blame instead of erasing it.

After a motorcycle crash in Fresno,what comes next.

The report, your helmet and bike, medical records, insurance calls and deadlines, explained.

Valero Law Group attorneys meeting around a conference table
  • Getting the crash report
    On Highways 41, 99, 168 and 180, even inside city limits, and on county roads outside the city, the CHP's Fresno office usually takes the report; its Shaver Lake post covers the mountain communities along Highway 168. You can request a CHP report online. On city streets it's usually Fresno Police, whose reports are free at the Records lobby at headquarters on Mariposa Street, or online for a small fee.
  • Keep your helmet and gear as they are
    Don't repair or throw away your helmet, jacket, gloves or boots, or the damaged parts of your bike. Scrapes and impact marks can help show what happened, so keep them until your claim is settled.
  • Photograph the bike and the scene
    Take photos of your motorcycle, the other vehicle, the road surface and any skid marks or debris before anything is moved or repaired. Ask witnesses for their names and phone numbers, and if shops or homes nearby have cameras, ask them to save the footage right away.
  • See a doctor, and keep the records
    Get checked after any crash, even if you walked away from it. Wherever you were treated, from Community Regional Medical Center, a Level I trauma center, to Saint Agnes, Kaiser Fresno or Clovis Community, you have a right to copies of your medical and billing records, even with a bill unpaid.
  • The insurer has deadlines too
    The other driver's insurance company may call within days. It must acknowledge your claim within 15 days, then accept or deny it within 40 days of receiving proof, or explain in writing why it needs more time (California claim rules).
  • Public agencies have shorter deadlines
    Most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. If a city or county vehicle, a FAX bus or a hazard on a city street, county road or state highway was involved, a written claim to the City of Fresno, Fresno County or the state is usually due within six months.

Common questionsafter a Fresno motorcycle accident.

Is lane splitting legal in California?
Yes. The CHP says lane splitting by motorcyclists is legal in California, and Vehicle Code §21658.1 defines it as riding a two-wheeled motorcycle between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane. The CHP's safety tips warn that the danger grows with speed and with the difference in speed from traffic, and that riding on the shoulder is illegal and isn't lane splitting. It also tells drivers that intentionally blocking or impeding a motorcyclist in a way that could harm the rider is illegal. If you were hit while splitting lanes, how you were riding can come up when fault is weighed, so talk to us about what happened.
Does California require a motorcycle helmet?
Yes. Vehicle Code §27803 requires every motorcycle rider and passenger to wear a safety helmet that meets the state's standards, fastened and properly fitted. California's helmet law took effect on January 1, 1992. After a crash, keep your helmet as it is: it can help show what happened.
The driver says they didn't see me. What now?
What a driver says at the scene is only part of the picture. Fault is decided on all the evidence: the crash report, photos, any video, witnesses and the damage to both vehicles. And if you're found partly at fault, California's pure comparative fault rule reduces your award by your share of the blame instead of erasing it.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?
About 1 in 5 California drivers had no insurance in 2023, according to the Insurance Research Council. If one hit you, your own uninsured motorist coverage may pay. Even insured drivers may carry only the minimum, $30,000 per person on policies issued or renewed since January 1, 2025 (Vehicle Code §16056), and serious injuries often cost far more. Tell us what coverage you have.
How much is my Fresno motorcycle accident case worth?
It depends on your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, the cost of repairing or replacing your bike and gear, and the long-term effect on your life. The first offer is often low, so a free case review is the best way to know before you accept anything.
How long do I have after a motorcycle accident in Fresno?
Most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). If a city or county vehicle, or a hazard on a public road, was involved, a written claim is usually due within six months: claims against the City of Fresno go to its Risk Management Division, and claims against the County to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Call us early so no deadline slips by.
Do you have an office in Fresno?
Yes. Our office is at 1401 Fulton St, Suite 905, Fresno, CA 93721, downtown. Come in if you like, or we'll come to you, at home or in the hospital. Call (800) 985-9565 any time, 24/7.
What does a motorcycle accident lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. Your consultation is free, and no attorney's fees are owed unless we recover compensation for you. You may be responsible for case-related costs and expenses; we'll explain them before you sign.
