Fees, Costs and Case Results

Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.

Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

After a Mulholland Highway or Calabasas motorcycle accident: (1) Call 911 for Lost Hills Sheriff Station or CHP, (2) Get immediate medical attention even if you feel okay - adrenaline masks injuries, (3) Document the scene thoroughly with photos of your motorcycle, road conditions, curves, and any road defects, (4) Exchange insurance information but NEVER admit fault, (5) Obtain witness contact information, (6) Request the police report number, (7) Contact our Calabasas motorcycle accident lawyers at 27001 Agoura Road before speaking with any insurance adjuster.

Why is Mulholland Highway so dangerous for motorcyclists?

Mulholland Highway is one of California's most iconic yet dangerous motorcycle routes: (1) Extremely sharp curves with limited visibility including the famous "Snake" section, (2) Popular weekend destination attracting riders of all skill levels, (3) Narrow lanes with no shoulders or escape routes, (4) Oncoming vehicles crossing centerline on blind curves, (5) Gravel, debris, and oil on pavement from cars and other vehicles, (6) Spectators and photographers at popular spots creating distractions, (7) Speed mismatches between experienced and inexperienced riders, (8) Inadequate guardrails and steep drop-offs resulting in fatal crashes. Our Calabasas office at 27001 Agoura Road has represented dozens of Mulholland accident victims and understands the unique hazards of this legendary road.

Can I sue Caltrans or Los Angeles County for dangerous road conditions on Mulholland?

Yes. If dangerous road conditions on Mulholland Highway, Las Virgenes Canyon, or other local roads contributed to your motorcycle accident, you may have a premises liability claim against Caltrans (for state highways) or Los Angeles County (for county roads). Common dangerous conditions include: inadequate warning signs on curves, missing or damaged guardrails, poor pavement maintenance with potholes and debris, inadequate drainage causing water/gravel accumulation, and vegetation blocking sight lines. However, government claims require filing an administrative claim within 6 months - much shorter than the standard 2-year deadline. Contact our Calabasas office immediately at 27001 Agoura Road to preserve your rights against government entities.

What are the most dangerous curves on Mulholland Highway near Calabasas?

The most dangerous sections of Mulholland Highway near our Calabasas office include: (1) "The Snake" section (Mulholland Highway near Mulholland Drive) - extremely sharp S-curves attracting weekend riders and spectators, (2) Curves between Las Virgenes Canyon Road and Kanan Road, (3) Blind hairpin turns with oncoming traffic, (4) Descents toward Pacific Coast Highway with speed management challenges, (5) Intersections with Stunt Road and Decker Canyon Road. These areas see frequent serious and fatal motorcycle accidents. Our attorneys at 27001 Agoura Road, Suite 350 in Calabasas have deep familiarity with these locations and have successfully represented multiple riders injured on Mulholland's dangerous curves.

How much are Calabasas motorcycle accident settlements worth?

What a claim is actually worth turns on the documented medical course and prognosis, proven lost earnings, the share of fault attributed to the claimant, and the insurance limits available to pay a judgment. Minor injury cases (road rash, minor fractures) settle for $65,000-$160,000. Moderate injuries (broken bones requiring surgery) settle for $180,000-$500,000. Catastrophic injuries (traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, amputation) often exceed $1 million. Los Angeles County juries award substantial verdicts for motorcycle accident victims. Mulholland accidents involving road defects and Caltrans negligence can result in significant additional compensation. Our Calabasas attorneys fights for full compensation for motorcycle accident victims injured on local roads, freeways, and canyons. Multiple insurance sources maximize total compensation.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in California?

California has a 2-year statute of limitations for motorcycle accident personal injury claims, starting from the accident date. Property damage claims have a 3-year deadline. Claims against government entities (Los Angeles County for Mulholland Highway maintenance, Caltrans for state highways, Lost Hills Sheriff, California State Parks) require filing an administrative claim within 6 months. This is critical for Mulholland Highway and canyon road accidents where road defects or inadequate maintenance contributed to the crash. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim. Contact our Calabasas office at 27001 Agoura Road immediately to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

Can I recover compensation if I was speeding or riding aggressively on Mulholland?

Yes, you can still recover compensation even if you were speeding or riding aggressively, though it may reduce your settlement. California follows pure comparative negligence - you can recover damages even if you were 99% at fault, reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 30% at fault for speeding and the other driver was 70% at fault for an unsafe lane change, you recover 70% of total damages ($700,000 verdict = $490,000 recovery). Insurance companies will try to blame motorcyclists, especially on notorious roads like Mulholland Highway, claiming "all riders speed there." Our Calabasas attorneys counter this bias with expert testimony, CHP accident reports, and evidence proving the other party's negligence. Many factors cause Mulholland accidents beyond speed - road defects, oncoming vehicles crossing centerlines, blind curves, and debris.
