Motorcycle Accident Attorney Ontario, CA

Aiding Injured Motorcyclists Through Tough Times

Motorcyclists don’t just share the road—they share the risk. And when a negligent motorist fails to see or yield to a rider, the consequences are often devastating. At The Paris Firm, we know that every motorcycle accident case tells a personal story of recovery, loss, and resilience. For our clients, it’s not about filing a lawsuit. It’s about getting their life back.

Our Ontario motorcycle accident lawyers stand with injured riders and their families in the aftermath of serious crashes. We know how insurance companies operate, and we don’t let them define the value of your suffering. Whether you’ve endured multiple broken bones, a traumatic head injury, or lost someone in a wrongful death incident, we’ll pursue every available avenue under California law to help you seek compensation for what’s been taken from you.

After a crash, motorcyclists face more than medical bills and property damage. They face doubt. Will I walk again? Will I work again? Will anyone believe I wasn’t at fault?

Our personal injury attorneys do.

We carry the legal burden while you focus on healing. That means:

  • Investigating the crash and gathering evidence
  • Dealing with the insurance provider so you don’t have to
  • Fighting for financial compensation for every facet of your loss
  • Working with medical experts to fully understand the scope of your injuries

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all cases. We treat every client like the only client, because when you’re dealing with life-altering injuries, you deserve legal representation that sees the whole picture.

If you’ve been hurt in an Ontario motorcycle accident, don’t wait to understand your rights. Call The Paris Firm today at 909-325-6185 for a free case evaluation.

How Do Most Motorcycle Accidents Happen?

Motorcyclists are among the most cautious and skilled operators on the road, often hyper-aware of their surroundings because they know they have less protection than drivers of cars or trucks. Despite this, they’re frequently—and unfairly—blamed for crashes. The reality is that most motorcycle accidents happen not because of rider recklessness, but because other drivers or third parties fail to share the road responsibly.

Understanding the common causes of these accidents is key to both prevention and accountability. At The Paris Firm, we investigate every angle to uncover how the crash occurred and who should be held liable under California law.

Drivers Failing to Yield

Many motorcycle collisions in Ontario occur at intersections when a driver turns left in front of an oncoming rider or pulls out without properly checking for traffic. Because motorcycles are smaller, some drivers fail to register their presence, despite the fact that they clearly have the right of way. When this happens, the motorcycle driver is often hit head-on or clipped at high speed, resulting in catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death.

Lane Changes and Blind Spots

Motorcycles can easily disappear in a vehicle’s blind spot, especially when drivers don’t check thoroughly before changing lanes. Sudden merges—particularly into either the passing lane or shared center lanes—are a common cause of sideswipe accidents. In these situations, the motorcycle rider often has no time to react and is either run off the road or knocked off their bike.

Distracted Driving

A driver who’s texting, scrolling, adjusting a GPS, or even reaching for something in the backseat poses a serious risk to everyone, but especially to motorcyclists. It takes just a second of inattention for a car to drift into another lane, fail to brake in time, or miss a turning rider. In many motorcycle accident cases, distraction is a central element of the negligence claim.

Following Too Closely

Tailgating is dangerous in any situation, but it’s particularly deadly when the vehicle in front is a motorcycle. Riders who are rear-ended by motor vehicles are often ejected from their bikes, sometimes landing dozens of feet away. These high-impact crashes frequently result in multiple broken bones, traumatic head injuries, and other severe injuries that require immediate medical help and long-term rehabilitation.

Drunk Driving

When a driver fails to operate their vehicle sober, the risks multiply. Drunk driving plays a role in a significant number of vehicle accident fatalities involving motorcycles. Impaired drivers often swerve unexpectedly, miss stop signs, or ignore traffic signals, leaving riders with no time to react. These are not just tragic mistakes; they are criminal acts that often lead to wrongful death actions.

Road Hazards

While a pothole or patch of gravel might barely affect a car, for a motorcyclist, it can be disastrous. Poorly maintained roads, lack of signage, or construction zone debris can cause bikes to skid, tip, or lose control entirely. In these cases, local government agencies, construction companies, or even property owners may be held liable for failing to maintain safe conditions.

At The Paris Firm, we don’t just look at how a motorcycle crash occurred—we look at who had a duty to prevent it. We examine traffic laws, vehicle positions, surveillance footage, and contact and insurance information to identify every responsible party. Then we build a case designed to expose negligence and demand full, fair compensation for the injured rider.

Common Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

Unlike car passengers, motorcyclists don’t have a steel frame, airbags, or seat belts to absorb the impact. They take the full force of the crash, and the injuries caused are often catastrophic.

Traumatic Head Injuries

Even with a helmet, a hard impact can lead to traumatic brain injuries, ranging from concussions to permanent cognitive disability.

Spinal Cord Injuries

A fall or collision can compress or sever the spinal cord, resulting in partial or complete paralysis, loss of bladder control, and permanent disability.

Multiple Broken Bones

Arms, legs, wrists, ribs, and clavicles are especially vulnerable. Riders may require surgery, metal hardware, and extensive rehab.

Internal Injuries

Damage to organs, internal bleeding, and punctured lungs are common in high-speed impacts and often require immediate medical assistance.

Road Rash and Soft Tissue Damage

Sliding across pavement at high speed can remove layers of skin and muscle. Some riders face infections, scarring, and long-term nerve pain.

Wrongful Death

Sadly, motorcycle accident victims don’t always survive. When a rider is killed due to a driver’s negligence, their family may pursue a wrongful death action to recover damages for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional loss.

We ensure your injuries—whether visible or not immediately apparent—are documented, validated by medical experts, and factored into your claim.

What Damages Can I Recover Through a Personal Injury Claim?

A serious motorcycle accident doesn’t just hurt your body—it disrupts your finances, your relationships, and your future. When a negligent motorist causes a crash, the law gives you the right to pursue full and fair compensation for everything you’ve lost. But to get what you’re entitled to, you need more than a list of expenses—you need a case built on evidence, credibility, and a deep understanding of how those losses affect your life.

At The Paris Firm, an Ontario motorcycle accident attorney can evaluate the economic and non-economic damages that make up the true value of your case, not just what an insurance company is willing to pay upfront. Here’s what we fight to recover:

Medical Expenses

From the ambulance ride to long-term rehabilitation, your claim should cover every aspect of your medical care, including:

  • Emergency room visits and trauma treatment
  • Surgeries, hospital stays, and anesthesia
  • Prescription medications
  • Physical and occupational therapy
  • Medical devices such as crutches, braces, or wheelchairs
  • Future procedures or ongoing care needs

We consult with your physicians and treatment providers to ensure your medical bills—and future medical expenses—are fully accounted for in your claim.

Lost Wages

A serious injury can take you off the job for weeks, months, or longer. If you’ve missed work or will need to reduce hours or change careers due to physical limitations, those financial losses matter. We pursue compensation for:

  • Missed paychecks and unpaid leave
  • Lost tips, commissions, or bonuses
  • Diminished future earning capacity
  • Lost job opportunities or career advancement

These are not just numbers. They represent your stability, your plans, and your ability to care for yourself and your family.

Property Damage

Your motorcycle, helmet, and protective gear likely took a beating in the crash. Whether your bike is repairable or a total loss, you’re entitled to recover for:

  • Fair market value of your motorcycle if totaled
  • Full cost of repairs if fixable
  • Replacement of destroyed gear and equipment

We use quotes, receipts, and appraisals to ensure your property damage claim isn’t shortchanged.

Pain and Suffering

This category addresses the non-economic impact of your injuries, including:

  • Physical pain and ongoing discomfort
  • Emotional distress, anxiety, or depression
  • Loss of enjoyment in hobbies or social life
  • Changes to personal relationships and mental health

Pain is subjective, but that doesn’t make it any less real—or less compensable. We work with medical and psychological experts to help quantify this often-overlooked part of your recovery.

Disfigurement or Disability

Some motorcycle accident victims suffer life-changing injuries like amputation, facial scarring, or permanent mobility loss. These damages address:

  • Loss of limb function or use
  • Permanent scarring or visible disfigurement
  • Psychological trauma from appearance changes
  • Costs of long-term accommodations or in-home care

When your body is permanently changed by someone else’s negligence, the law allows for meaningful compensation to reflect that burden.

Wrongful Death Damages

If your loved one was killed in a motorcycle crash, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. This can include compensation for:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of financial support
  • Emotional loss and grief
  • Loss of companionship and guidance

These claims are deeply personal, and we handle them with the dignity and care your family deserves.

At The Paris Firm, we don’t rely on formulas or fast-settlement tactics. We work with medical professionals, financial experts, and accident investigators to build a claim that reflects the full weight of your losses, so you’re positioned to receive maximum compensation. Whether your injuries are temporary or permanent, minor or catastrophic, we fight to ensure you’re not left carrying the cost of someone else’s mistake.

Should I Accept an Injury Settlement From the Insurance Company?

Probably not. Especially not right away. Most insurance companies aim to settle claims quickly, not fairly. The first offer you receive is often just a fraction of what your case is truly worth.

You may still be undergoing treatment, and your condition may worsen over time. Once you accept an offer, there’s no going back—even if you’re later diagnosed with a long-term disability or need further care.

Before you agree to anything, let us:

  • Review the offer
  • Evaluate your future needs
  • Advise you on whether the deal appears sufficient

We’re not here to delay your claim—we’re here to protect your future. A fast settlement today could cost you thousands tomorrow.

Is It Worth Hiring an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer?

Motorcycle accident claims are notoriously complex, even more so than a car accident case, and insurance providers are often biased against riders. They may try to blame you for the crash, downplay your injuries, or use gaps in treatment as an excuse to reduce your payout.

Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Ontario, CA, understand how to push back under personal injury law. We build strong, evidence-backed cases by:

  • Interviewing witnesses and reconstructing the scene
  • Collecting dashcam or surveillance footage
  • Analyzing helmet and gear damage
  • Documenting your injuries and treatment
  • Communicating directly with the insurance company

When you work with The Paris Firm, you’re not just hiring a law office—you’re partnering with a team that’s committed to your recovery. We give our full attention to every injured party, every claim, and every courtroom battle.

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a motorcycle accident in Ontario, don’t go it alone. Call The Paris Firm at 909-325-6185 to schedule your free case evaluation. Let’s fight for your future—together.
