Hesperia Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Hesperia riders use the I-15 and US-395 to commute down the hill and the open desert roads — Ranchero Road, Phelan Road, Main Street west of the freeway — on weekends. The most common Hesperia motorcycle crash is not a rider error: it is a driver turning left across the rider’s path at an intersection without a protected arrow, or changing lanes into a rider on the I-15 near the Main Street and Bear Valley Road ramps. On a two-lane road like Ranchero Road a car pulling out from a side street or driveway leaves a rider no room to brake.

The firm’s coverage shows how severe these crashes are in the High Desert: a motorcyclist was killed in a collision with an SUV on Seventh Avenue in Hesperia in August 2026, another rider died on the I-15 near Cleghorn Road in the Cajon Pass a few weeks later, and a rider on Hesperia Road in Victorville was airlifted in critical condition after a crash with a pickup. In the 2023 OTS rankings Hesperia placed 14th of 62 comparable cities for motorcycle crash victims — high for a city its size — and 11th for alcohol-involved crashes.

Where you are treated and where the case is filed both matter. The nearest trauma centers are Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton (Level II) and Loma Linda University Medical Center (Level I); the closest emergency rooms are Victor Valley Global Medical Center and Desert Valley Hospital in Victorville and Providence St. Mary Medical Center in Apple Valley. Critically injured crash victims from the I-15 are often flown out by 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); 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, Hesperia 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) 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.

Results. On its About page the firm reports a $2,500,000 settlement after an initial offer of $100,000, and Lyft and Uber accident settlements after initial offers of $60,000 and $30,000. Results vary. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
