How Do California's Helmet Laws Apply to You?
The State of California has very strict motorcycle laws that riders must comply with at all times. Due to our state's comparative negligence laws, you may not be able to collect the full amount of compensation if your lack of a helmet contributed directly to your injuries. Whether you were complying with California's helmet laws or not at the time of your accident, it is crucial to have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side.

Did your motorcycle helmet have the DOT stamp on it or another label indicating that it meets all required California safety standards? Unfortunately, not all motorcycle helmets are created equally and it is important to have a helmet that conforms to California's safety rules.
Can You Still Collect Compensation?
If you were not wearing a helmet at the time of your accident, you may be asking that very question. The answer is yes. While you may not be able to collect compensation for injuries directly caused by a lack of a helmet, you should still be able to collect full compensation for all other injuries, significantly reducing the cost of your recovery.
