Skilled Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in Orange County
The statistics are clear: riding a motorcycle carries a greater risk of personal injury than driving a motor vehicle. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists were 29 times more likely to die in a crash and 4 times more likely to be injured than motor vehicle drivers per vehicle mile traveled in 2019.
While wearing a helmet is the most important measure a motorcyclist can take to protect themselves against injury, it does not eliminate the risk entirely. Data from the NHTSA indicates that helmets are approximately 37% effective in preventing motorcyclist fatalities and 41% effective at preventing fatalities of motorcycle passengers. The fact remains that motorcycle riding is an inherently risky activity.
If you sustained injuries in an Orange County motorcycle accident due to another person’s negligence, you may be eligible for compensation. This can include damages such as medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The motorcycle accident lawyers at Carpenter & Zuckerman have been representing motorcycle accident victims for over 25 years and will fight to obtain the compensation you deserve.

Steps to Take Following a Motorcycle Crash
One of the most important actions you can take to protect yourself from liability in the event of a motorcycle collision is to document the accident as thoroughly as possible. Any evidence you are able to gather at the scene can be helpful to your motorcycle accident lawyer in shielding you from liability and building your case against the at-fault party.
Ways to document the accident are:
- Call 911 if any of the involved parties are injured.
- Ask for a police report to add to your documentation.
- Take photos to document conditions, including road hazards and weather.
- Take photos of injuries and property damage while maintaining your safety.
- Take photos of important documents such as driver’s licenses and insurance cards.
- Gather contact information from willing witnesses and all involved parties.
- Get a medical evaluation to document your condition after the accident.
