I had an outstanding experience working with Ciana on a personal injury matter. Without her expertise, I would have never realized that I even had a case. Ciana’s attention to detail and deep understanding of personal injury law were invaluable. She guided me through every step with professionalism and care, ensuring I understood the process and felt supported. Thanks to her diligence and expertise, what could have been overlooked became a well-handled case. I highly recommend Ciana to anyone needing a knowledgeable and dedicated legal professional.

They have been entirely helpful since they accepted my case. Thorough and informative every step of the way. When I had an IME and no gas in my car they arranged for a ride to and from. After fighting tooth and nail myself with little to no results Palace Law stepped in and immediately Sedgwick stopped dragging me through the mud.
Working With You to Obtain Equitable Compensation After a Motorcycle Accident
Unfortunately, the defendant’s lawyer will try to take advantage of common stereotypes related to biker culture. They do this to prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve. Many people still believe motorcyclists are irresponsible and wild. However, most people who ride motorcycles do so for more practical reasons such as daily commuting and saving money on gas.
You need an experienced Vancouver motorcycle accident attorney who knows how to avoid these false impressions to secure an appropriate settlement for your injuries.
At Palace Law, our aim is to analyze the potential liability and use every available tool to show the accountability necessary to get you the compensation you’re entitled to. When you choose Palace Law, you’ll have a highly qualified advocate take a great load off your shoulders. Our law firm has four lawyers who have each tried over 200 cases in court.
We are available anytime you have questions and will even come to you if your injuries prevent you from traveling. We will evaluate the details of your motorcycle accident thoroughly, then plan a comprehensive strategy to get the settlement or jury award you need to move forward with your life.
What Are the Causes of Most Motorcycle Accidents?
In the many cases, drivers aren’t properly looking out for motorcyclists. This is likely the biggest reason for motorcycle accidents in Vancouver and across America. Because motorcycles are smaller than other vehicles, motorcyclists can be harder to detect because of obstructions, glare, and the driver’s lack of focus.
Intersections are hazardous for motorcyclists, especially when a car is making a left-hand turn and fails to see the motorcyclist or misjudge their speed. This type of left-hand turn is a common cause of motorcycle accidents. The potential damage from a motorcyclist hitting a car can be extreme, regardless of the speed.
Motorcycles are much more susceptible to dangerous conditions on the road compared to cars. Wet or icy surfaces, litter, bumps, potholes, and gravel can be devastating for a motorcyclist, while a vehicle may not even recognize the hazard.
A head-on accident between a bike and a car or truck almost always leads to life-threatening injuries or death for the biker. That’s because the motorcyclist may get crushed or flung into the air because of the high speed of the crash.
Lane splitting, when a motorcyclist drives between two lanes of cars, is another common reason for motorcycle incidents. Because the bike is so close to the other vehicles while lane splitting, a grave incident can easily occur.
Driving recklessly, being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, not paying attention to the road, and being overly tired are common grounds for motorcycle crashes.
Distracted driving is the main source of all kinds of vehicular accidents. The most common type of distraction is using a cell phone while driving. It’s hard for a driver to see a motorcycle if they’re staring at their smartphone.
With Americans getting inadequate sleep, fatigued driving is becoming increasingly prevalent. Impaired and reckless driving can also be to blame for motorbike crashes.
Sharp turns and curves are more probable to produce a motorcycle crash than for a car. It is more arduous to make amends or rectify when maneuvering a motorcycle around a sharp turn. Unfortunately, some of our most scenic roads in the Vancouver area have many curves.
