Motorcycle Accident Fatalities
Motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable people on the road. When a fatal crash occurs, the result is often devastating for the surviving family. At Steinfeld Law, we exclusively handle wrongful death cases, including representing families who have lost a loved one in motorcycle accidents.
If your loved one was killed while riding a motorcycle... whether they were unlicensed, uninsured, or even speeding, you may still have a valid wrongful death claim.
A Rider Representing Riders
Founding attorney Patrick Steinfeld was a daily rider for years. During law school he rode a Kawasaki every day... rain or shine. Today, with over 35 years of legal experience and a deep personal understanding of rider safety, Patrick leads one of California’s only law firms devoted exclusively to wrongful death law.
Most Common Types of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are rarely "accidents.” They are preventable collisions caused by driver negligence... usually inattention. We regularly see:
- Drivers turning left in front of an oncoming motorcyclist
- Cars pulling out from driveways, alleys, or side streets
- Drivers claiming they "didn't see" the rider
- Accidents at night where headlight visibility is disputed
Even if the motorcyclist was unlicensed, uninsured, or speeding, it does not disqualify your claim. We've recovered significant compensation in these cases.
Free Case Evaluation
Proving Fault with Physics
We investigate fatal motorcycle collisions through the lens of physics and safety. Our analysis includes:
- Time/distance calculations based on vehicle speed and stopping distance
- Visibility range using headlight illumination
- Safety standards regarding safe stopping and driver awareness
When drivers say “I didn’t see the motorcycle,” we let the numbers tell the truth. If a driver couldn’t stop within the distance their headlights illuminated, they were likely driving too fast for conditions. If they turned in front of a motorcyclist... they weren’t paying attention.
