Temecula & Murrieta Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Fighting for Riders in the Inland Empire—Because Your Life Deserves More Than a Settlement
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Temecula or Murrieta—or if someone you love was taken from you too soon in a crash—you’re not alone, and you’re not powerless. The road to healing and justice might seem long, but you don’t have to walk (or ride) it alone.
At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we’re not your average personal injury firm. We don’t have cheesy billboards or late-night TV ads. What we do have is a deep respect for riders, a real understanding of motorcycle dynamics, and a track record of standing up to big insurance companies that try to push riders aside. We’re California’s Motorcycle Law Firm, built by riders, for riders—and we’re here to fight for you.
We Know These Roads—And the Risks Riders Face Here
If you ride in Temecula or Murrieta, you know there’s nothing quite like taking your bike down De Portola Road, winding through wine country, or heading out along Ortega Highway for a weekend ride with your crew. Whether you're riding through Old Town Temecula, along Winchester Road, or commuting on The 15, you’re constantly navigating distracted drivers, rough patches of pavement, and intersections that feel like accidents waiting to happen.
And let’s not ignore the fact that drivers around here often don’t pay attention. We’ve seen case after case where a rider did everything right—high-viz gear, safe following distance, even slowed down in traffic—and still got hit. Why? Because too many drivers look right through motorcyclists like we’re invisible.
We see you. And if you’ve been hit, we’re ready to make sure the people responsible finally do too.
Why Motorcycle Cases Are Different—And Why That Matters
Motorcycle accident claims aren’t just “personal injury” cases with a different kind of vehicle. They’re fundamentally different in ways that most lawyers don’t understand—unless they’ve actually spent time in the saddle and fought for riders before.
Here’s the reality:
Injuries are more severe. There’s no steel frame to absorb the impact—just your gear and your instincts.
Insurance companies blame riders. Even when it’s clearly the driver’s fault, insurers try to pin some of the blame on the motorcyclist.
The physics of crashes are different. A low-speed rear-end collision that would barely dent a bumper can send a rider flying.
There’s bias in the courtroom. Jurors—and sometimes judges—still hold onto stereotypes that riders are reckless.
That’s why you need a lawyer who knows how to tell your story and explain your ride—how the crash happened, why it wasn’t your fault, and how your life has changed because of it.
At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we don’t have to play catch-up learning the basics. We already know how bikes work, how crashes happen, and how to show that your case deserves to be taken seriously.
Types of Motorcycle Cases We Handle in Temecula and Murrieta
No matter how your crash happened, if someone else’s carelessness caused it, we’re here to help. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accident cases we see in the Temecula/Murrieta area include:
Left-turn collisions (usually at intersections like Jefferson & Rancho California Rd or Murrieta Hot Springs Rd & Madison): A driver turns in front of you, claiming they “didn’t see you.”
Rear-end crashes in traffic or at stoplights—especially dangerous for motorcyclists who get launched or pinned between vehicles.
Unsafe lane changes on I-15 or I-215, where drivers merge into you without checking their blind spots.
Road hazards, like loose gravel, potholes, or construction debris on routes like Clinton Keith Road.
Drunk or distracted driving, especially during weekends and wine country traffic.
We also represent families who have lost a loved one in a fatal motorcycle accident in the Inland Empire. If you’re grieving and trying to make sense of what comes next, we can help you pursue a wrongful death claim with compassion, skill, and an unrelenting commitment to justice.
Real Injuries. Real Losses. Real Recovery.
Motorcycle crashes are almost never “minor.” Even if you were lucky enough to survive, your injuries might be life-altering—and you deserve full compensation for that.
We routinely help clients who suffer:
These aren’t just lines on a medical chart. These are the things that keep you from working, sleeping, riding, and living your life the way you used to. And too often, insurance companies try to minimize your pain or lowball your recovery.
We won’t let them.
We work with top-notch medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and life care planners to build your case from the ground up. We make sure the full scope of your suffering is documented—and we fight like hell to make sure it’s compensated.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Temecula or Murrieta
Whether your crash just happened or you’re already a few weeks into your recovery, here’s what you can do right now to protect yourself:
Get medical attention — Even if you feel “okay,” get checked out. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries.
Document everything — Photos of the bike, the scene, your injuries, your helmet—these all matter.
Don’t give a statement to the insurance company — Not until you’ve talked to a lawyer who knows motorcycle law.
Reach out to us — We offer free, confidential case evaluations. No pressure, just straight answers.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. That’s our job. All you need to do is reach out—and we’ll handle the rest.
You Deserve More Than a Quick Settlement
Big insurance companies like to act fast after a motorcycle accident. Why? Because they know that if you get a lawyer who understands motorcycle crashes and knows what your case is worth, they’re going to have to pay a lot more.
They might offer you a settlement check that seems decent at first—but it won’t cover your long-term care, future surgeries, lost income, or pain. Once you sign, it’s game over. You don’t get a second chance.
We’ll never let you get steamrolled into a bad deal. At McCarthy Motorcycle Law, we don’t settle cheap, and we don’t back down. If they don’t offer what’s fair, we’ll take them to court and make them answer for it.
