Los Angeles-based motorcycle accident lawyer Bobby Saadian, one of the founders and chief legal practitioners of Wilshire Law Firm, knows the nuances and hazards of the highways and roads throughout Los Angeles, as well as in other parts of California… not just by way of legal knowledge, but by way of being a motorcycle rider himself.

Mr. Saadian takes pride in his expertise in the field of motorcycle accident law, and has helped hundreds of motorcycle accident victims to succeed in their own individual pursuits of justice following a collision with another motor vehicle.

The threshold of variety in collisions that Mr. Saadian has seen over the course of his career is expansive, as well as diverse. Yet of all the instances of motorcycle crash in which he represented motorcycle riders, his largest regret isn’t an outcome of one of the cases that he has pursued for his clients, but the startling number of motorcyclists who never got to make it to his office due to the fact that their lives were taken in the course of the collision.

Fatal motorcycle crash accident info collected by the state of California through the year of 2006 detail that 4,778 people were killed in motorcycle crashes on state highways and roads, while in total, 4,935 people were killed riding motorcycles of variety (mopeds, etc.). A major motorcycle accident study analyzed information from thousands of accidents and drew conclusions about the causes. Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Attorney Bobby Saadian offers some observations on these situations.

“Approximately 3/4 of motorcycle accidents recorded in 2006 involve collision with another vehicle. This was almost always a passenger automobile,” explains Wilshire Law Firm’s Bobby Saadian.

“As well, approximately 1/4 of the motorcycle accidents detailed in this report were single vehicle accidents involving only the motorcycle,” the Los Angeles motorcycle attorney continues, proving Mr. Saadian’s theory that riders could be exercising safer and more sound riding practices.

In the single vehicle accidents, motorcycle rider error was present as the accident precipitating factor in about two-thirds of the cases, with the typical error being a slide out and fall due to over braking or running wide on a curve due to misjudged speed entering their turn. Accidents involving running wide on curves resulted in the rider laying the bike down due to either excess speed or under cornering.

The failure on behalf of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents. The driver of the other vehicle involved in collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until it was too late to avoid collision with the rider.

Instances such as these require attention to detail by the legal representation, as well as supporting evidence of what caused the crash that supports a case. Mr. Saadian’s Wilshire Law Firm has devised ways to go about not only correctly determining which evidence is most relevant to the cause of the crash, but most effectively representing injured clients who have been stricken by an automobile while riding their motorcycles.
