Motorcycle Accident – Passing & Lane Splitting

Under California law, a driver passing another vehicle or bicycle must generally pass on the left and must maintain a safe distance so as not to interfere with the vehicle being overtaken (California Vehicle Code, Section 21750). In California, unlike other states, the practice of lane splitting or white-lining by a motorcyclist is permitted, provided it is done in a safe and prudent manner (California Driver Handbook). Other vehicles passing you or changing lanes (when you are lane splitting) must still do so at a safe distance.

If you have been injured by a passing motorist while riding a motorcycle, you want an experienced personal injury lawyer to help you get full and fair compensation for all your injuries. At Weber & Nierenberg, we have protected the rights of personal injury victims across northern California and the greater San Francisco Bay area for nearly 30 years. We place a high priority on personal service and attention, working directly with you at all times, whether you have just contacted us about a case or we are in negotiations or trial in an effort to resolve your claim. We offer a rare combination of the resources and knowledge you customarily find at a large law office with the flexibility and quick response time typical of a small law practice.
