Victorville Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Victorville riders share Bear Valley Road, Hesperia Road, Palmdale Road (SR-18), Roy Rogers Drive and the I-15 with commuters, delivery trucks and drivers who are looking for cars, not motorcycles. The typical Victorville motorcycle crash is a left turn across the rider’s lane at an unprotected intersection, a pickup pulling out from a driveway on Hesperia Road or Amargosa Road, or a lane change into a rider near the Bear Valley Road and Nisqualli Road ramps.

The firm’s coverage shows how these crashes end in the High Desert: a motorcyclist on Hesperia Road in Victorville was airlifted in critical condition after a crash with a pickup in August 2026, a rider was killed in a collision with an SUV on Seventh Avenue in neighboring Hesperia the same week, and another died on the I-15 near Cleghorn Road in the Cajon Pass in September. Victorville reported 33 motorcycle crash victims in the 2023 OTS rankings, and because the nearest trauma centers are down the pass in Colton and Loma Linda, a serious rider injury here almost always means a helicopter.

Where you are treated and where the case is filed both matter. Victorville has two emergency rooms — Victor Valley Global Medical Center and Desert Valley Hospital — and Providence St. Mary Medical Center is in neighboring Apple Valley, but the nearest trauma centers are down the Cajon Pass: Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton (Level II) and Loma Linda University Medical Center (Level I). That is why so many serious Victorville crashes end with a helicopter. If the claim does not settle, the lawsuit is filed in the Victorville courthouse of the San Bernardino County Superior Court (14455 Civic Drive, Victorville, CA 92392), a few minutes from the crash sites on this page; injury cases from across the Victor Valley are heard there.

1. Get medical care the same day, even if you think you are fine. Adrenaline hides injuries, and a gap between the crash and the first visit is the first thing an adjuster uses against you.
2. Call 911 and get the report number. Crashes on the I-15, US-395 and the state routes are handled by the CHP Victorville Area office; crashes on city streets by San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Victorville Station.
3. Photograph the bike, the other vehicle, the plates, the road surface (gravel, oil, potholes), your gear and your injuries. Get the driver’s license, registration and insurance, and the names and numbers of witnesses — riders are often blamed and witnesses are the answer.
4. Do not give a recorded statement to the other side’s insurer, and do not post about the crash on social media. You are not required to give a statement, and anything you say is used to reduce the claim.
5. Keep the bike and the damaged gear. Do not let the insurer total the motorcycle and dispose of it until it has been photographed and inspected — the damage pattern often proves who hit whom.
6. Keep every bill, pharmacy receipt, work note and invoice, and write down what you remember of the crash while it is fresh — the time, the weather, what the other driver said.
7. Call Beverly Law before you accept any offer. The first offer arrives before anyone knows the full extent of the injury, and accepting it closes the claim permanently. A free consultation costs nothing; no attorney fee unless we win. Whether case costs are deducted from a recovery is explained in your written fee agreement.

Motorcycle claims start with a bias: the adjuster assumes the rider was speeding or splitting lanes recklessly. We beat that with evidence — the damage patterns on both vehicles, skid and gouge marks, the other driver’s phone records, nearby camera footage and witness statements — and with a medical record that documents every injury, from road rash to a traumatic brain injury. Our team includes former insurance adjusters who know exactly how the other side will value the claim.

The attorney. Cases are handled under Michael Shemtoub, Esq., California State Bar #253948, admitted in 2007 (UC Hastings College of the Law, 2006). He worked for a federal judge and as a corporate attorney before founding Beverly Law in 2008, was named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and holds a 10.0 “Superb” Avvo rating. The firm has 4.8 stars from 600+ Google reviews.

How a case moves. Free consultation by phone, video or in person. We sign a written contingency agreement, then open the claims, get the collision report and medical records, and tell you honestly what the case is worth once treatment is far enough along. Most claims settle with the insurer; if they do not, we file in the Victorville courthouse of the San Bernardino County Superior Court (14455 Civic Drive, Victorville, CA 92392), a few minutes from the crash sites on this page and prepare for trial. A straightforward claim can resolve in months; a litigated case in San Bernardino County commonly takes one to two years. Pre-settlement funding is possible in some cases. We help with the vehicle repair and rental, talk to your doctors about treating on a lien, and return calls in English or Spanish.

Fees. No attorney fee unless we win. Whether case costs are deducted from a recovery is explained in your written fee agreement. The percentage is agreed in writing before we start.
