Standing Up for People Injured in Motorcycle Accidents
According to the NHTSA, in 2012, 4,957 motorcyclists died in crashes. That number has increased almost 8% from 2011 and has gone up 15% from the year before that. Motorcyclists account for 15% of all traffic fatalities. Motorcycle accidents by their very nature are likely to be more serious with more long lasting health affects than other types of vehicle accidents. Recovery from a motorcycle accident is likely to be slower, take longer and require more additional services than recovery from most car/car accidents.
When you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, you need to know you are in the right hands. You need to know that your attorney is experienced in handling these cases, that your attorney is unafraid of battling the insurance companies that are not actually interested in your welfare and that your attorney can be counted on to represent your interests and is dedicated to securing the best possible result.
We here at Cipinko Law are those attorneys.
Nothing is more important to us than seeing that you are taken care of, making sure that you have been made whole by those who have hurt you or caused you damage. It is our mission to make sure your rights are protected and defended and it is our calling to help people who have suffered a trauma., to speak for those who are in no position to defend and protect themselves.
Bikers have just as much right to be on the road as drivers of cars, trucks and other vehicles. However, motorcycle riders are at risk every day of suffering accidents due to inattentive drivers or hazardous road conditions.
At the Law Offices of Sanford M. Cipinko, our lawyers stand up for the rights of motorcycle accident victims. We put more than 30 years of experience to work seeking full compensation for injured motorcycle riders in San Francisco and throughout California.
Handling the unique challenges involved in motorcycle accident cases
Motorcycle cases can pose unique challenges. Drivers who are not motorcyclists themselves may wrongly assume that a motorcycle rider is reckless, or believe that the motorcyclist assumed the risk of injury just by choosing to ride a motorcycle. Drivers carry these assumptions into the courtroom, where they serve as jurors.
Our approach is to prepare each case we handle as if it is going to trial. In motorcycle cases, this means that from the beginning of the case, we collect facts about the collision that will allow us to rebut any unfair bias against motorcyclists. We will show that our client is a responsible, competent driver who respects the rules of the road.
Our aggressive trial advocacy produces excellent results, both in trial and in settlement negotiations. We have an outstanding record of verdicts and settlements to prove it.
Providing personal attention in all motorcycle accident cases
Every client gets one-on-one attention from an experienced attorney. We will make ourselves accessible and available to you from the beginning of your case until it is resolved.
Handling all cases on a contingency basis
In personal injury cases, you will only be asked to pay attorney fees if we are successful in recovering compensation for you.
