Every case built for trial, not for a quick settlement.

PERSONAL INJURY & WRONGFUL DEATH

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.

THE BIAS

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.

SERIOUS INJURIES

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:

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Even with a helmet, the impact can cause long-term cognitive damage.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Often permanent and life-altering.

Severe Road Rash and Skin Injuries

Painful, visible, and sometimes requiring surgery.

Fractures and Orthopedic Injuries

Multiple surgeries, long recovery periods, and lasting limitations.

Amputation

Loss of limb due to crush injuries or trauma.

Wrongful Death

When a rider doesn’t survive — we represent the family.

These are not minor claims. They require serious legal strategy — and full damage documentation.

COMMON CAUSES

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.

OUR PROCESS

What We Do From the Start

From the moment you hire us, we take control of the case.

No more calls, no recorded statements — we handle everything.

With experts, documentation, and a full strategy.

Not just what you’ve lost — but what you will need long-term.

5

We prepare for trial

Because that’s what forces fair settlement offers.

WHY TRIAL-READY

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.

CASE VALUE

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 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.

OUR RECORD

Results that speak to what's possible

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Do motorcycle riders get blamed automatically?

Often, yes. That’s why proper case building is critical.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

It does not eliminate your claim. It may affect damages — but not liability.

How long do I have to file a case?

Typically 2 years in California and Illinois. Some exceptions apply.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

No. They use your statements to reduce your claim.

How long will my case take?

Serious cases can take 1–3 years. Rushing leads to lower compensation.

YOU DESERVE BETTER

You Deserve a Lawyer Who Understands Riders

Motorcycle accident cases are not just legal cases — they are battles against assumptions. You need a firm that:

Understands how these cases are judged

Knows how to counter bias

Is willing to go to trial
