Dealing with Insurance Companies
The highly experienced lawyers at Eason & Tambornini understand that an insurance representative aims to keep the payout as low as possible.

Also, insurance companies can be very frustrating to deal with, and many people give up and accept a settlement that is less than what they might receive if they had someone on their side. Our motorcycle accident lawyers will fight aggressively for the maximum settlement possible.

Stockton Motorcycle Accident Lawyers with Expertise in California Motorcycle Laws
At Eason & Tambornini, our lawyers know California’s motorcycle laws and are dedicated to protecting motorcyclists’ rights. We understand the intricacies of the rules that govern motorcycle operation, licensing, and unique riding practices in California.
California Motorcycle Laws
- Motorcycle Licensing in California: To legally ride a motorcycle in California, you need a Class M1 license. This requires passing both a written knowledge test and a skills test to demonstrate your understanding of motorcycle safety and your ability to handle the bike.
- Helmet and Passenger Safety: California law requires all motorcycle riders and passengers to wear helmets. If you’re carrying a passenger, your motorcycle must also have proper footrests for their safety.
- Lane Splitting: California is one of the few states that allows lane splitting, which is riding a motorcycle between lanes of traffic. While legal, lane splitting can be risky due to limited visibility and the unpredictable actions of other drivers. If you’re involved in an accident while lane splitting, our experienced attorneys understand the complexities of these laws and can protect your rights.
