Sacramento Personal Injury Attorneys Video

http://www.teallaw.com 888-863-2719 Teal Montgomery & Henderson in Santa Rosa and Sacramento, California has been handling personal injury cases since 1973. They devote their attention and time to nothing but injury cases.

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. The state has a number of motorcycle laws to safeguard the motorcyclist on the road and help prevent accidents. These laws require the following:

  • Safety helmet
  • State-funded rider education for eligible applicants under the age of 21
  • Daytime use of headlights
  • A left or a right mirror
  • Muffler
  • Passenger seat and passenger footrest if you are carrying a passenger
  • Periodic safety inspection
  • Use of turn signals
  • California state insurance for compulsory liability at the minimum limits

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.
