Motorcycle Accidents in California
With its long highway and oceanside views, it should come as no surprise that many people in California enjoy motorcycle riding. Unfortunately, motorcycle riders can see their lives forever changed when accidents occur. If you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle accident and another party is responsible, one of the first steps you should take is to obtain the assistance of an experienced accident attorney.
What Makes Motorcycle Accidents Deadly
The Governor’s Highway Safety Association reports that motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to die in motor vehicle accidents than in other types of vehicles. Some factors that make motorcycle accidents more deadly include:
- Motorcycles are not equipped with the same type of protective equipment like airbags and seatbelts
- Because they travel on two wheels, motorcycles are not as stable as other vehicles
Common Types of Rancho Cucamonga Motorcycle Accidents
Our lawyers have seen motorcycle accidents occur in various ways. Some of the most common ways include:
- Cars who make left turns without noticing nearby motorcyclists
- Motor vehicles that follow too closely
- Drivers who fail to check their blind spots
- Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs
No matter how your accident occurred, our lawyers can help injured motorcyclists hold the other party responsible.
Injuries Caused by Motorcycle Accidents
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 80 percent of all motorcycle accidents result in injuries. Some of the most common injuries caused by these accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Limb amputations and other broken bones
- Facial fractures

Client Testimonials
John-Paul is an extremely effective criminal defense attorney. The one thing that makes him stand out from other defense attorneys is that he talks to his clients to learn the circumstances surrounding their incident and then he makes a forceful and articulate argument in defense of his clients. I recommend my clients to John-Paul when they are in need of a criminal defense attorney because I know he will stand up for them.
Stephen Rinka
John-Paul is well known in our community as a smart and effective criminal defense lawyer who is sensitive to his clients’ situations and responsive to their needs. I refer my clients to him with confidence when they need help with the criminal justice system.
Lawrence Brock
Occasionally you meet another attorney who is so impressive both personally and professionally that you want to be affiliated with them in any way you can both personally and professionally. That is how I feel about John-Paul. I not only consider him one of the finest attorneys I know, but I now proudly call him my friend. He is among the very best.
David Booth
John-Paul took my civil case when no one else would because other lawyers didn’t have confidence in my daughter who has special needs to testify, if needed. John-Paul won her case against the school district without a jury because he cared about my child, believed she was honest and deserved justice. He still doesn’t mind taking my calls whenever I have a question regarding her case.
Dionne L.
I had the pleasure of working a very large scale drug case with Mr. Serrao, representing co-defendants. Mr. Serrao was a pleasure to work with. Highly skilled and very aggressive in his advocacy on his client’s behalf. I highly recommend Mr. Serrao for anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney.
Babak Farahan
Mr. Serrao worked on my DUI charge earlier this year and all I can say is WOW! Not only did he keep me updated with the case but his knowledge of the process helped calm my nerves, which was very important to me. He showed care for me as a client and I can’t thank him enough. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a quality criminal defense attorney.
Derrick J.
Attorney John Paul-Serrao helped us to win our case against the insurance company after we were involved in a traffic accident where our car was rear ended, we tried to handle it ourselves with the insurance company and they did not want to cooperate with us, so we hired Mr. Serrao and he was able to get us a settlement above with the insurance company was willing to pay. I would highly recommend him.
Lupe G.
John-Paul is a superb attorney. He was my mentor when I was in law school, and now as an attorney I still go to him for advice on complex cases. When my brother required representation I referred him to John-Paul. That is how highly I think of JP as an attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs representation.
