Elk Grove Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Fighting for Riders and Families in Elk Grove and Across Sacramento County

If you’re reading this because you or someone you love was injured—or worse—in a motorcycle crash in Elk Grove, we want you to know you’re not alone. Maybe you were hit on Laguna Boulevard. Maybe someone turned left in front of you on Elk Grove Boulevard. Or maybe you were heading down Highway 99 when a careless driver cut you off and changed your life in an instant.

At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we help injured riders and grieving families take their power back. We fight to hold reckless drivers, negligent companies, and stingy insurance carriers accountable. We are proud to be considered California’s Motorcycle Law Firm—built by riders, for riders. And if you’re in Elk Grove, we’re here to fight for you.

We Know the Roads. We Know the Risks. And We Ride.

Elk Grove is growing fast, and so is the traffic. Between the daily congestion on 99, the roundabouts that confuse out-of-towners, and the distracted drivers scrolling through their phones at every intersection, riding here takes skill, focus, and guts.

We know what it’s like to take Franklin south at sunset, when the glare hits your visor just right. We know the hazards of Kammerer Road when there’s construction debris in the bike lane. And we know the heartbreak of seeing another rider go down because someone wasn’t paying attention.

We’re not just lawyers. We’re riders. And we’ve lost people we love to motorcycle crashes.

That’s why we built a law firm for you.

Common Motorcycle Accidents in Elk Grove

We’ve helped riders involved in nearly every kind of crash you can imagine. But in Elk Grove, certain types of wrecks come up again and again.

Left-Turn Collisions

You're heading straight through an intersection—maybe at Bruceville and Elk Grove Blvd—and a car turns left in front of you. You don’t have time to stop. And they claim they “didn’t see you.”

Rear-End Accidents

You’re stopped at a light on Laguna or backing up in traffic on the 99 on-ramp. A driver behind you is on their phone and doesn’t see you until it’s too late.

Lane Changes and Sideswipes

Highway 99 and I-5 are full of drivers who drift into your lane without signaling or checking their mirrors. When you’re on a bike, that mistake can be fatal.

Dooring and Downtown Wrecks

Near Old Town, Elk Grove Park, or the busier shopping centers, we see lots of crashes from people opening doors or pulling out of parking spaces without looking.

Road Hazards

Potholes. Debris. Construction zones without warning signs. When the city or a contractor fails to keep the roads safe, we go after them too.

Motorcycle Injuries Are Life-Changing—And We Treat Them That Way

Riders are vulnerable. When you go down, your body takes the hit—whether it’s with pavement, a car, or a roadside barrier. The injuries we see are rarely minor.

We regularly represent riders with:

The pain is real. The recovery is long. And the financial toll can be crushing—especially if the insurance company tries to minimize your injuries or blame you for the crash.

We fight to make sure your compensation reflects the full impact of what you’ve gone through—not just your hospital bills.

Elk Grove Motorcycle Wrongful Death Cases

If someone you love was killed in a motorcycle crash, we are truly sorry. We know there’s no amount of money that can bring them back or fix what’s been broken. But we also know that accountability matters. And justice matters.

Wrongful death motorcycle cases often involve:

We represent spouses, children, parents, and legal heirs in wrongful death cases. We fight to recover what your family has lost—financially, emotionally, and personally. We handle the legal burden so you can focus on grieving and healing.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Every case is different. But we work hard to make sure every dollar is accounted for—because we know you’re not just dealing with bills. You’re dealing with a life that’s been flipped upside down.

You may be entitled to recover:

  • Emergency room and hospitalization costs

  • Ongoing care, rehab, and therapy

  • Lost income and future earnings

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Motorcycle damage or replacement

  • Wrongful death damages, including:

    • Funeral and burial costs

    • Loss of companionship or guidance

    • Loss of financial support or household services

In serious cases, we also pursue punitive damages—especially when drunk driving, hit-and-runs, or repeat offenses are involved.

Local Roots Matter

Elk Grove isn’t just a suburb. It’s its own place, with its own identity. Home of the Thundering Herd and the Cardinals, this town has deep pride—and we respect that.

We don’t just breeze in from L.A. and pretend to know your community. We fight for riders in towns like this because we understand them. We’ve worked in courts across Sacramento County and the Valley. And we know how to speak to juries who understand what it means to be a responsible rider—and how unfair it is to blame the person who got hit.
