A large amount of traffic moves through Oakland everyday along I-580, Highway 80, the Bay Bridge, and over the San Mateo Bridge that links the East Bay and the peninsula. Motorcycle riders are often put at risk when car, truck, and bus drivers change lanes without signaling or roll through intersections. At the Dolan Law Firm, our Oakland motorcycle attorneys work with accident investigators in determining what caused a motorcycle accident.
Too often, jurors have preconceived notions about motorcyclists as daredevils or people who cut in between cars when traffic is slow. As motorcycle riders ourselves, our lawyers put these notions to rest with hard evidence gathered from eyewitness testimony, traffic camera footage, and debris gathered from the scene of a motorcycle crash. We hold negligent car and truck drivers liable for the injuries they cause to motorcycle riders.

Blind Spots and Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents happen because a car or truck driver didn't see a motorcycle rider. In the case of trucks and buses, there are large blind spots behind, to the front, and side of a vehicle that prevents truck and bus drivers from seeing cyclists. If a truck driver changes lanes without first make sure no one is there, he can hit or run a motorcyclist off the road. Cars also have blind spots that can play a role in a motorcycle accident. When investigating motorcycle accidents, we map out the flow and progression of a crash in order to determine if blind spots and a reckless lane change were involved.
