Skilled Motorcycle Accident Attorney In San Diego
San Diego’s beautiful year-round weather makes it ideal for motorcyclists. However, motorcyclists must be careful when on the road as they’re much more at risk of serious injury in the event of an accident.
I’m Barbara Savaglio, an experienced motorcycle injury attorney serving San Diego County through my firm, the Law Offices of Barbara B. Savaglio. Since 1995, I have helped injured motorcyclists hold negligent drivers responsible and achieve fair compensation after an accident.
Are Motorcycle Accidents That Common?
In 2021, 13% of all California motor vehicle fatalities were motorcyclists. This was a nearly 3% increase since 2020. Among the state, San Diego County ranked #3 for the highest number of motorcycle fatalities and #2 for serious motorcycle injuries.
As there are millions of drivers of cars and trucks versus the tens of thousands of registered motorcyclists in San Diego County, it’s clear that motorcyclists are already at a disadvantage on the road. They must be extra careful to avoid a serious accident, but they cannot always predict the actions of another driver.
With motorcycle accidents and fatalities increasing, it’s crucial for motorcyclists to stay vigilant on the road. If you’re in an accident, contacting an attorney can help make a difference in helping you secure compensation to cover your losses.
What Compensation Can Motorcycle Accident Victims Recover?
Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to serious injuries in a crash because they don’t have the protection of a vehicle surrounding them. Your injuries can include severe road rash, burns, broken bones, spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injuries. Pursuing a claim can help ease the physical, mental and financial burden of an accident.
Motorcycle accident victims can seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
As a skilled accident lawyer, I know how to navigate these tough cases. I will take the time to investigate the cause of the accident and understand your goals as you move forward with your claim. I’m not afraid to push back against insurance companies or take your case to court if necessary.
