Premier San Francisco Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

We are lawyers who ride. Attorney Chris Dolan is a motorcyclist who has logged more than 250,000 miles across five countries on four bikes. We understand the culture of motorcycling and we are relentless advocates for the rights of motorcyclists. Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents happen––often due to negligent motor vehicle drivers––and they can potentially have heavy consequences. Some injuries may require immediate medical attention such as traumatic brain injuries or paralysis. Insurance companies and their policies often do not look out for a rider’s best interests. When a motorcycle incident occurs, the injury lawyers at the Dolan Law Firm can help them by providing sound legal advice. We make sure our clients obtain as much information as possible pertaining to their situation and to provide the legal options necessary to determine whether to pursue a claim.

Since our law firm was founded, we regularly represent clients involved in motorbike incidents and we are committed to protecting your interests. If you or someone dear to you has sustained motorcycle accident injuries, we will diligently work to advocate on your behalf. Do not carry the burden of this incident alone, contact our office as soon as possible to schedule a free consultation: 415-636-8160.

Can I Still Bring A Case If The Police Report Places The Fault For The Crash On Me?

Yes. We frequently see cases in which the police report places part or all of the fault for the crash on the motorcyclist. The police officer’s report, while important evidence, is not binding in court.

We will thoroughly and independently review your case. We will always take the time and care to look out for your best interests. We know that when an experienced, trained motorcyclist is involved in a collision, it is often because the driver of the car or other vehicle was careless and turned into the motorcyclist. Other circumstances may include that the driver was not paying attention, speeding, ran a red light, made an illegal turn, was texting, or was driving while intoxicated.

For example, we obtained over $2.5 million for our client even though the police report attributed 100% of the fault for the crash to our client. We proved to the jury that the crash was actually due to dangerous road conditions.

If you were partially at fault, you may still have the right to seek damages if carelessness or speeding by the car driver or other reasons were substantial factors in causing the accident and your injuries.

At the Dolan Law Firm, we pride ourselves in our ability to put our clients’ needs first. Our motorcycle accident lawyers lead with compassion and work diligently in order to help obtain the best possible outcome for our clients’ cases.
