Sacramento's proximity to Lake Tahoe and Reno means there are more cars and trucks traveling along I-80, I-99, Highway 50, and roadways in and around California's capital. Motorcycle riders who enjoy riding in the mountains or biking over to Yosemite or down to Oakland face increased danger from more cars, trucks, and buses on the roads.
In a large number of motorcycle accidents, blinds spots prevent trucks or cars from seeing motorcycles to their left, right, or rear. As a result, when changing lanes negligent motorists either hit or run motorcycles off the road. At the Dolan Law Firm, our Sacramento motorcycle accident attorneys use GPS technology to map and recreate a motorcycle accident. Measuring skid marks and plotting the placement of debris, we can often determine how a motorcycle accident happened and who was at fault.

Protecting Yourself - Questions from Insurance Claims Adjusters
Insurance companies are in business to make a profit, often at the expense of the injured - that's why they're committed to reducing the amount they pay in claims. In some cases, an insurance claims adjuster may try and settle a case before the full scope of person's injuries is known. In other cases, an insurance agent may ask an injury victim leading questions about an accident in the hopes of getting them to say something that can be used later to show they were partially or completely at fault.
As your personal injury lawyers, we handle all inquiries and settlement matters with insurers for our clients. We're familiar with the kinds of tactics used by insurers and are prepared to protect our clients' financial and legal interests. Our office also discusses structured settlements and special needs trusts and how they can help an injury victim and his or her family plan for future medical care while qualifying for Medicaid and avoiding certain kinds of taxes.
