Whether a motorcycle is your main mode of transportation or just a vehicle you ride on the weekend, it’s important to remember that often other drivers can’t see you. This is especially true in this day and age of people talking on their cell phone and sending text messages. Should you get into a motorcycle accident, you need a highly-skilled San Diego motorcycle injury attorney representing your rights and protecting your future. Having an attorney on your side who also rides (like Mr. Gnau) helps various aspects of your case and makes it easier to get your side of the case told.
Some people may mistakenly scoff at those who ride seeing them as rebels or risk-takers. However, those who ride know the many benefits of riding including lower gas consumption and lower transportation costs as well as the favorable impact that commuting on a motorcycle has on the environment. For those reasons, motorized scooters have never been more popular. Regardless of why you ride, you should be able to expect others to drive responsibly and follow all of the rules of the road. When they fail to follow the rules of the road, you need a qualified lawyer who will fight aggressively to defend your rights.

Armstrong vs. Breslin, et al. – In this motorcycle versus motorcycle accident, the case was tried before the San Diego County Superior Court – El Cajon district. Attorney Daniel Tamez was recognized for his outstanding result in this trial and awarded the prestigious Outstanding Trial Lawyer of the Year awared in 2007 by the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego. Our client was severely injured with multiple fractures and other injuries when another motorcycle driver drove directly in front of our client. The responsible party argued that our client was speeding and had veered into him and that our client was the sole cause of the motorcycle accident. However, at trial, the jury awarded the full amount of our client’s damages without any reduction. The Judge disallowed what we viewed as the insurance companies’ improper tactics and that caused the insurance company to incur an additional cost of about $35,000 (to the benefit of our client).
