Our Pacific Palisades Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Help You Get Compensation 

Motorcycle crashes pose serious risks for riders and their passengers. Many residents remember the horrific multi-motorcycle accident in Pacific Palisades that occurred several years ago. It happened on Sunset Boulevard, at the intersection of Chautauqua Boulevard, and left three motorcyclists seriously injured while claiming the life of a fourth.  

Unfortunately, collisions involving other motorcyclists and motor vehiclists are common and injuries suffered by victims are often severe. These may include:  

• Deep cuts and lacerations, resulting in infections, amputations, and lost use or sensation in various body parts; 
• Burn injuries and road rash, resulting in scarring and disfigurement; 
• Multiple broken bones and complex fractures; 
• Crushing injuries, causing internal bleeding and damage to body organs or systems; 
• Head and brain injuries, capable of causing physical, emotional, and cognitive disabilities;
• Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries, which can cause permanent loss of mobility.  

At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we protect the rights of victims and their families in these cases. While you focus on yourself and your recovery, our Pacific Palisades motorcycle accident attorneys focus on getting you the compensation you are entitled to in a claim.  

What Are Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents In Pacific Palisades? 

According to the California Office Of Traffic Safety (OTS), close to 4,000 motorcycle accidents in Los Angeles County happen each year. This ranks us as the fourth most dangerous place for bikers, compared to other counties throughout the state.  

While the Parker Mesa Overlook, Temescal Gateway Park, and other scenic spots are popular destinations for motorcyclists, the steep, narrow roads leading to them and winding throughout local neighborhoods increase the risk of motorcycle accidents in Pacific Palisades. Unfortunately, while road, traffic or weather conditions can make these types of crashes more likely to happen, the underlying cause is often negligence on the part of others involved. This includes:  

• Speeding and going too fast for conditions; 
• Running red lights and stop signs; 
• Following too closely, failure to yield, and other aggressive driving behaviors; 
• Distracted driving, such as talking on cell phones or texting while behind the wheel; 
• Driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescribed medications. 

When you or someone you love is injured due to the above or other reckless and negligent driving behaviors, reach out to Harris Personal Injury Lawyers. Our Pacific Palisades motorcycle accident attorneys can conduct a thorough investigation, gathering the evidence needed to hold those at-fault accountable.
