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:
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.
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.

From the moment you hire us, we take control of the case.
We protect evidence
Before it’s lost, overwritten, or deleted.

We build your case properly
With experts, documentation, and a full strategy.
We calculate real damages
Not just what you’ve lost — but what you will need long-term.

Because that’s what forces fair settlement offers.
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.
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.
