When You Ride — They Blame You. We Change That.
Motorcycle accidents are different. Not just because of the injuries — but because of what happens after. Before the investigation even starts, assumptions are made:
“The rider was speeding”
“They were weaving”
“That’s the risk of riding”
Insurance companies build their case around this bias. At The Law Offices of Haytham Faraj, we don’t just handle motorcycle accident cases — we fight the bias that comes with them. We represent seriously injured riders and families across Los Angeles and Chicago. You pay nothing unless we win. And every case is prepared for trial from day one.
Motorcycle Cases Are Not Treated Fairly — That’s the Reality
Drivers miss motorcycles all the time. They:
Change lanes without checking blind spots
Turn left directly into oncoming riders
Drive distracted or under the influence
But when the crash happens — the rider is often blamed. We don’t accept that. We build every case to show exactly what happened:
Who failed to yield
Who ignored visibility
Who created the danger
Because liability is not about assumptions — it’s about proof.
Motorcycle Accidents Are More Severe — And That Changes Everything
When a car crashes, there’s protection. When a motorcycle crashes — there isn’t. That’s why injuries are often catastrophic. We represent riders suffering from:
Even with a helmet, the impact can cause long-term cognitive damage.
Often permanent and life-altering.
Painful, visible, and sometimes requiring surgery.
Multiple surgeries, long recovery periods, and lasting limitations.
Loss of limb due to crush injuries or trauma.
When a rider doesn’t survive — we represent the family.
These are not minor claims. They require serious legal strategy — and full damage documentation.
What Causes Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle crashes are preventable. They happen because someone else made a dangerous decision. Common causes include:
Drivers failing to check blind spots
Unsafe lane changes
Left turns in front of riders
Distracted driving (phones, screens)
Driving under the influence
Speeding and aggressive driving
Poor road conditions or hazards
Defective motorcycle parts
We don’t just list causes — we prove them. And we do it before evidence disappears.

Why Motorcycle Cases Need a Trial Lawyer
Insurance companies already assume:
Riders are risky
Injuries are exaggerated
Claims should be reduced
If your lawyer is not ready for trial — they take advantage of that. We are not a settlement firm. We prepare every case as if it will go to court. That’s why:
Cases are taken more seriously
Offers are higher
Outcomes are stronger
We’ve tried over 80 cases across multiple courts. We don’t bluff. We litigate.
What You Can Recover
Motorcycle accident cases often involve higher damages because of injury severity. You may be entitled to:
Financial Losses
Medical expenses (current and future)
Lost income
Reduced ability to work
Rehabilitation and long-term care
Personal Impact
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of independence
Permanent disability
Disfigurement
Wrongful Death Damages
Loss of financial support
Loss of companionship
Funeral and related costs
We build the case based on your real life impact — not the insurance company’s version of it.
No Fee Unless We Win
No upfront cost
No hourly billing
No payment unless we recover compensation
We advance all case costs. If we don’t win — you don’t pay.
Results that speak to what's possible
Verdict in Los Angeles, CA for a woman who suffered a broken leg and traumatic brain injury when she was hit by an SUV while on her moped.
Verdict against the City of Los Angeles for a man struck on the head by a falling metal object, resulting in TBI and trauma-induced dementia.
Verdict in Lancaster, CA for a man severely injured in a head-on collision, leaving him and his young sons with lifelong debilitating impacts.
These results came from cases where we refused to accept the first number. We built the case, assembled the experts, and made clear we were prepared to go the distance. Insurance companies track which attorneys actually try cases. We are on that list.
