About Michael Padway

San Francisco California Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

"When I get a call on a new motorcycle case, I always have mixed emotions. I know that there is a good chance the police report favors the car that hit them. Usually I will find that the witnesses exaggerated the speed of the motorcycle because most bikes are louder than cars. Invariably, the injuries are severe."

Attorney Mike Padway

What Makes Mike Padway Different? And How That Can Help You…

FIRST, I LISTEN. Then I create a plan specific to your individual California motorcycle accident case. Often there is an easily overlooked fact, that, when brought to light, provides proof on an issue that can't be denied.

I've been a motorcycle rider since shortly after getting my first driver's license. I remember buying my first bike, and getting on the road with not much more than an explanation of how the controls work. Even today, the same thing occurs, all over the country. Kids are put on super-bikes that even experts find challenging. A good portion of the public has a negative view of motorcyclists, and many of them fail to see a motorcycle, because they don't expect one. Many police reports fail because the officer lacks a basic understanding of motorcycle accident mechanics. Witnesses routinely overestimate the speed of a motorcyclist, because they equate noise with speed, and because they are surprised by the fact a motorcycle is there.

Motorcycle Accident Attorney Credentials

I've been co-chairman of a committee for the ABA on the handling of large and complex cases, I've handled cases where the understanding of motorcycle mechanics have saved the day, I've ridden thousands of miles on many different motorcycles, I've had motorcycle courses with the best, and I've worked with the best motorcycle accident reconstruction experts there are.

Motorcyclists Are A Mistreated Minority

I believe that motorcyclists are one of the most mistreated minorities left in the court system. They are misunderstood, mistreated, and, because of the severity of injury, they are the most in need of quality legal representation of any group of its size.
