A Tradition of Compassionate, Personalized Service
Legal Help - San Francisco Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle accidents are unique because of the inability of motorists to see motorcycles on the roadway. Non-riders are also typically biased against motorcyclists. We know how to show the insurance company, public entity and a jury that the motorcycle was clearly visible if only the motorist was attentive. We know how to neutralize the insurance company's, public entity's and jurors' bias against motorcyclists.
These accidents can cause severe injuries including complex fractures (especially in the lower extremities), spinal cord injuries, brain injury, amputation, or wrongful death of a loved one. At our law firm, you will have an experienced motorcycle accident attorney who understands these injuries and who will monitor your medical progress.
- How did the accident happen? Once you hire us we will try to preserve all the evidence that remains at the accident site. We will inspect and photograph your motorcycle or scooter. We will obtain and review all police, fire and ambulance reports. Locating and interviewing witnesses before the insurance company or public entity is crucial. Our law firm works with a renowned motorcycle accident reconstruction expert to reconstruct your visibility, location, and movements, so that the insurance company, public entity or jury can fully understand what happened.
- When the insurance company or public entity disputes who is at fault for the accident or the settlement offer is insufficient to compensate you for your losses, we will file a lawsuit and take your case to trial.
- If a defective product was involved in your accident — bad brakes, a defective fuel tank, or any other part — we will pursue a product liability case against the manufacturer or seller.
Your Weber & Nierenberg motorcycle accident attorney will be familiar with whatever bike you were riding at the time of your accident — Harley, Gold Wing, Honda, Suzuki, Buell, Yamaha, Vespa, or any other touring bike, racing bike, or scooter.

Recent Examples of How We Have Helped Our Clients
$1,850,000 Our 36-year old electrician client was lawfully driving his Harley Davidson motorcycle on I-80 near Hayward when a commuter van suddenly and without warning changed lanes into him, striking his motorcycle and foot. The defendant claimed that our client was speeding, because he looked in his rearview mirror and never saw him. Our motorcycle expert reconstructed the accident and helped us prove our client wasn’t speeding. Our client sustained a severe foot fracture requiring surgery and a career change.
$1,136,000 Our 30-year old motorcycle parts/service manager from Vallejo was driving his motorcycle slightly above the speed limit when a slow-moving backhoe in front of him moved partially into the shoulder and then started turning left in front of our client, causing him to lay down his motorcycle and fracture his back, injure his spinal cord and necessitate spinal fusions at two vertebral levels. The adverse party predictably argued that our client was going at an excessive speed, but our expert motorcycle reconstructionist proved otherwise.
$400,000 We represented a 34-year old stripper who was a passenger on a motorcycle struck by a rental car that ran a red light. All of her physical injuries were soft-tissue. We claimed that the accident caused our client severe psychological injury requiring psychiatric hospitalization.
$375,000 We assisted a 42-year old home health aide who was driving her Harley Davidson motorcycle on a country road when a car pulled from a stop sign, causing her to drive her motorcycle into a ditch when trying to avoid a collision. She fractured her wrist, which developed reflex sympathetic dystrophy necessitating extensive medical treatment to regain function.
