Motorcyclist Rights
Motorcyclists have the same rights to pursue personal injury suits as other motor vehicle operators. In California, including Santa Rosa and Sacramento, motorcycle accident laws protect the motorcyclist when injured.

Further, the state places restrictions on helmet earphones, sound levels, and handlebar height.
As in other motor vehicle accident lawsuits, the motorcyclist as plaintiff must prove negligence on the part of the other operator and demonstrate that this negligence caused injury. In about 75 percent of motorcycle accidents, including Sacramento motorcycle accidents, another vehicle is involved and at fault.
At Teal Montgomery & Henderson, we work hard to fight for your rights to get you the compensation you deserve.
Time is of the essence
The state's statute of limitations is two years for personal injury. That means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a motorcycle accident claim.
