Lane splitting is controversial. Drivers hate it, riders love it. But how does it affect your injury case if you are hit while riding between lanes?
Legal vs. Negligent
Even in states where lane splitting is technically illegal, the other driver is often more at fault. If a car swerves into you without signaling, they are negligent. We argue that your lane splitting (even if a citation is issued) was not the proximate cause of the accident—the car's unsafe lane change was.
Overcoming Bias
The biggest hurdle in motorcycle cases is 'Biker Bias.' Insurance adjusters and jurors assume you were being reckless. We fight this by showing your safe driving history, protective gear usage, and expert reconstruction showing you had no escape route.
