Motorcycle Accidents

Northern California Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

For attentive, sophisticated, and professional client service in a severe motorcycle accident case in San Jose, Oakland, Bakersfield, or Reno, contact a personal injury attorney at Shea & Shea. We focus on recovering damages that are sufficient to meet the needs of severely or permanently injured accident victims.

The worst motorcycle accident injuries can involve various degrees of brain damage, extensive or disabling injuries to the spinal cord, or even amputation of an arm or leg. Conventional motor vehicle accident investigation and settlement techniques are often inadequate to recover damages sufficient to meet the financial burdens related to the victim's present and future treatment and rehabilitation needs. In cases of permanent disability, the costs of treatment, home or institutional care, and adaptive technology can easily run into the millions. Few private auto insurance policies will even come anywhere close to covering the expenses of supporting the severely injured survivor of a motorcycle collision over a lifetime.

At Shea & Shea, we focus on the investigation and litigation of the worst personal injury cases. In motorcycle accidents, our work will often lead us to consider a lawsuit against the manufacturer of a badly designed helmet, the government agency responsible for poorly banked highway curves, or the commercial vehicle driver whose negligence ahead of you forced another driver to hit you.

We investigate and pursue every severe injury or wrongful death case with a jury trial in mind. That means we carefully document every fact and circumstance that bears on the liability of one or more defendants and that supports your claim for damages. When multimillion-dollar damages demands are at stake, we commit substantial resources at our own risk to ensure that we can prove every essential aspect of your claim in court. Our attention to detail and reputation for outstanding litigation results can make the critical difference in bringing the defendants to the negotiating table for productive settlement discussions.

Shea & Shea is an AV-rated* law firm based in San Jose that represents severely injured clients and surviving families in complex personal injury litigation all over California, the West Coast, and the Mountain States. We are often brought in to complex lawsuits after the original attorney realizes that the facts are too complex or the expert expenses too great to handle. Our experience with the proof of brain injury and spinal cord damage claims can make the critical difference to the outcome of your case.
