ZEGA LAW GROUP

Burbank, California · Motor Vehicle

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Burbank

Riders get blamed unfairly and injured severely — insurers lean on bias against motorcyclists to cut payouts. California riders injured by a negligent driver can recover full damages, and lane splitting is legal in California, so riding between lanes does not bar your claim. Zega Law Group counters the bias with reconstruction, witness work, and medical evidence.

Motorcycle Accidents cases in Burbank

Between studio traffic, the 5 freeway, and the airport corridor along Hollywood Way, Burbank generates a constant stream of vehicle and premises injury cases. Zega Law Group serves Burbank in English and Armenian.

Motorcycle cases are fights about fault perception. Adjusters open with the assumption the rider was speeding or weaving; juries can carry the same bias. We answer it with physical evidence — skid analysis, helmet and gear damage, vehicle crush data, and independent witnesses — and with California's comparative negligence rule, which lets you recover even if you share some fault, reduced by your percentage.

Local venue: Burbank injury cases are generally heard at the Burbank Courthouse (LA Superior Court), and local collision patterns around the 5 freeway and the Hollywood Way airport corridor shape how liability gets investigated and proven.

What your Burbank case may be worth

  • Severity of impact injuries — fractures, road rash, TBI, spinal damage
  • Comparative fault allocation under California law
  • Future surgeries and rehabilitation
  • Lost riding season is real, but lost earning capacity is compensable
  • Available coverage including UM/UIM

Motorcycle Accidents questions, answered

Do you handle motorcycle accidents in Burbank?
Yes. Zega Law Group represents clients in motorcycle accidents matters throughout Burbank and the surrounding communities, with cases typically heard at the Burbank Courthouse (LA Superior Court). Consultations are free, in English or Armenian, and we work on contingency — no fee unless we win.
I was lane splitting when I was hit. Do I still have a case?
Yes. Lane splitting is legal in California (CVC §21658.1). The question is whether it was done safely under the conditions — and even where fault is shared, comparative negligence lets you recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault.
I wasn't wearing a helmet. Does that end my claim?
No, but it can reduce recovery for head injuries specifically. It does not affect compensation for other injuries, and it does not bar your claim.
What if the driver says they 'didn't see me'?
'I didn't see the motorcycle' is an admission of inattention, not a defense. Drivers have a duty to see what is there to be seen.
