If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Long Beach, Moe Abdallah Law, P.C. pursues the at-fault party for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We serve all of Long Beach and greater Los Angeles. Free consultation, no fee unless we win.
A motorcycle crash in Long Beach usually ends with the rider on the pavement and the driver already blaming the bike. Moe Abdallah Law, P.C. handles rider cases along the Pacific Coast Highway, through the port-truck corridors, and across the downtown grid, and we know how a driver's insurer twists lane-splitting and a rider's speed into a reason to pay less. You focus on healing, we handle the fight, and you pay nothing unless we win.
The Pacific Coast Highway through Long Beach is one of the harder stretches in the city for a motorcyclist. It carries fast, heavy traffic with frequent signalized intersections and cross streets, so a driver turning left across PCH or pulling out from a side street can put a rider down in an instant. The classic pattern holds here: the car turns or merges, the driver swears the motorcycle came out of nowhere, and the insurer runs with it. Add the port-truck traffic feeding onto the I-710 and the I-405, and a rider is sharing lanes with big rigs whose drivers cannot see a bike in their blind spots. When a car changes lanes into a rider or a truck drifts over, the injuries are severe because there is nothing between the rider and the road. Lane-splitting is legal in California when done safely under Vehicle Code section 21658.1, so the driver saying you were splitting lanes is not a defense. We answer the blame with ECU speed data off the bike, lane-position analysis, and camera footage from the PCH corridor and the port streets, and we move fast because that footage disappears within days.
A Long Beach rider who goes down at highway speed on PCH or the 710 usually ends up at a trauma center, and that tells you how serious these cases are. MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and Dignity Health St. Mary Medical Center both run Level II trauma centers, and if you were taken to either after your crash, those records become the backbone of your claim. The injuries we handle in rider cases are the worst kind: road rash that needs skin grafts, open and complex fractures, spinal-cord damage, brain injuries, and amputations. They mean long hospital stays, repeat surgeries, and months or years of rehab. The driver's insurer knows this and moves fast to close the claim cheaply, often before a second surgery is even scheduled or the lasting effect of a brain injury is clear. We do the opposite. We wait until your prognosis is set, bring in medical and life-care experts to map out your future treatment, and value the case for what your recovery will actually cost over a lifetime. Do not repair the bike or throw away your damaged helmet and gear, because in a Long Beach rider case they are evidence.

No. Lane-splitting is legal in California when done safely under Vehicle Code section 21658.1, so splitting lanes on the Pacific Coast Highway does not make you at fault. The real question is whether either driver acted unreasonably. We use ECU speed data, lane-position analysis, and camera footage from the corridor to show the car turned across your path or merged into you, and we push the blame back where it belongs.
Usually yes. California requires a helmet under Vehicle Code section 27803, but riding without one does not bar your recovery. At most it can reduce damages tied to a head injury, and only if the defense proves a helmet would have changed the outcome. It has no effect on claims for fractures, road rash, or lost income. We work to limit that argument and protect the rest of your case.
Often more than just the driver. When a big rig feeding the I-710 or I-405 puts a rider down, liability can reach the trucking company, and the size difference means severe injuries. Key evidence like the truck's logs and camera footage disappears fast, so we move quickly to put the right parties on notice and secure it. Riders share these lanes with trucks that cannot see them, and we build the case to show exactly that.
Rider injuries like spinal damage, brain injury, complex fractures, and amputations often carry high value because they involve major medical costs, long recoveries, permanent effects, and lost earning capacity. There is no fixed formula. Value depends on how severe and lasting your injuries are, your future-care needs, and how clear liability is. We bring in medical and life-care experts to document every cost. A free case review will give you a real answer.
Generally two years from the date of the crash under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. If a government entity is involved, such as a city bus or a dangerous public road, you may have as little as six months to file a claim under Government Code section 911.2. California also follows pure comparative negligence, so partial fault reduces but does not bar your recovery. Call soon so evidence and deadlines are protected.
Yes, get checked right away. Adrenaline after a motorcycle crash masks real injuries, and head, spine, and internal damage can stay hidden for hours or days. Long Beach has two Level II trauma centers, MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and Dignity Health St. Mary Medical Center, so care is close. A gap between the crash and your first treatment is one of the main things an insurer uses to argue you weren't really hurt.
