Move out of traffic if possible and call 911. Oakland freeways and busy streets are dangerous places to remain after a crash.
Photograph your motorcycle, all vehicles involved, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Document the location, especially along I-580, I-880, or Skyline Boulevard.
Visit Highland Hospital or Kaiser Oakland even if you feel fine. Motorcycle crash injuries like internal bleeding and fractures may not be immediately obvious.
Insurance companies often blame riders. Phoong Law protects your rights and pursues full compensation for your injuries.
Oakland’s year round riding weather and extensive freeway system make it popular with motorcyclists, but the same conditions create significant hazards. Lane splitting is legal in California, but riders face dangers from distracted drivers, sudden lane changes on I-880, and congested surface streets like Broadway and MacArthur Boulevard.
The Oakland hills and Skyline Boulevard attract recreational riders, but winding roads and limited visibility create additional risks. California’s pure comparative negligence system allows injured riders to recover compensation even when they share some fault. Phoong Law advocates for Oakland motorcyclists who deserve fair treatment from insurance companies.
Motorcycle accidents typically result in more severe injuries than car crashes because riders lack the protective shell of a vehicle. California law allows recovery for all accident related expenses, and the lack of a vehicle barrier often means higher medical costs and longer recovery periods.
Trauma treatment at Highland Hospital, orthopedic surgery, skin grafts for road rash, and intensive care stays.
Income lost during recovery, including long term career impact for riders who cannot return to physically demanding work.
Physical pain, emotional distress, scarring, disfigurement, and the lasting psychological impact of a serious motorcycle crash.
Fair market value of your motorcycle and riding gear damaged or destroyed in the collision.
Every motorcycle accident presents unique challenges. We handle cases across Oakland’s streets and freeways.
Drivers turning left across oncoming motorcycle traffic at Oakland intersections, one of the most common and dangerous crash types.
Collisions during legal lane splitting on I-880 and I-580 when drivers fail to check mirrors or change lanes suddenly.
Drivers hitting stopped motorcycles at red lights or in freeway traffic, often due to distraction or following too closely.
Potholes, debris, uneven pavement, and poor road maintenance on Oakland streets causing riders to lose control.
Parked vehicle occupants opening doors into the path of motorcyclists along Telegraph Avenue, Grand Avenue, and downtown streets.
Dangerous merge points where I-880, I-580, and I-80 converge create blind spots for motorcyclists.

Yes. California is the only state that explicitly allows lane splitting. However, riders must do so in a safe and prudent manner. If another driver caused the crash during lane splitting, you may still recover full compensation.
California’s pure comparative negligence law means you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Motorcycle accident victims face unique challenges, including bias from insurance adjusters. An experienced attorney levels the playing field and helps maximize your recovery.
You have two years from the date of the accident under California’s statute of limitations. Acting quickly helps preserve critical evidence.
California requires helmets for all riders. Not wearing one may reduce your compensation for head injuries, but it does not bar you from filing a claim for other injuries.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
