Riverside Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Riders get blamed first and offered least. We build the real record.
Insurance companies lean on a bias every rider knows: the assumption that the motorcyclist must have been reckless. That bias shows up as blame-shifting, lowball offers, and adjusters hoping you’ll accept fault you don’t carry.
California is a comparative negligence state — even a rider assigned partial fault can recover damages. We build the record that tells what actually happened: scene evidence, witness accounts, and the injuries that change a rider’s life.

I would give Saloni's law office and team 10 stars if I could! When other law firms did not want to take a case against a large municipal transit agency, Saloni did and won! She and her team were available, knowledgeable, supportive and walked me through every step of the process. I highly recommend this law firm.
Questions riders ask a Riverside motorcycle accident attorney
Is lane splitting legal in California?
Yes. California is the only state where lane splitting is expressly legal — Vehicle Code §21658.1 authorized it in 2017. That matters after a crash because insurers still treat a splitting rider as automatically at fault, and the law says otherwise. If you were splitting lanes at a safe speed when a driver changed lanes into you, the fault analysis points at the driver.
Does not wearing a helmet reduce my claim?
It can, but it does not end it. California requires helmets, and an insurer may argue comparative fault for head injuries a helmet might have prevented. That argument has no force at all against injuries a helmet would not have changed — a broken leg, road rash, shoulder damage — and even where it applies, it reduces recovery by a percentage rather than barring it.
What if the insurance company says the crash was partly my fault?
You can still recover. California follows pure comparative negligence: a rider found 30% at fault still recovers 70% of their damages. Adjusters lean on anti-rider bias to propose fault splits the evidence does not support — those percentages are negotiable, and pushing back on them is a core part of what a motorcycle accident attorney does.
What should I do after a motorcycle accident in Riverside?
Get checked by a doctor the same day even if you walked away — adrenaline hides injuries, and a gap in treatment is the first thing an adjuster uses against you. Get the Riverside Police or CHP report number. Photograph the scene, the vehicles, your gear, and your injuries. Do not repair the bike or throw away the helmet, jacket, or boots; they are evidence of the impact. And do not give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement before you have spoken to a lawyer — that call is designed to get you to agree to a version of events that favors their driver.
Where do Inland Empire motorcycle crashes happen?
The Ortega Highway (SR-74) between Lake Elsinore and the coast, the Cajon Pass on the 15, the Badlands stretch of the 60 east of Moreno Valley, the 243 up to Idyllwild, Gilman Springs Road, and the canyon roads above Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga — and, far more often, an ordinary intersection where a driver turned left across a rider. We handle motorcycle accident claims across Riverside and San Bernardino counties, including the High Desert, Temecula, and Fontana, from our office in downtown Riverside.
