What If a Traffic Officer Was Involved?
What If a Traffic Officer Was Involved?
Because they must be out enforcing traffic laws, traffic officers often drive, bike, or even walk in order to observe and sometimes stop motorists. And because they are on the road, and despite the fact that people try to be on their best behavior when they know that a traffic cop is around, these officers may inevitably become involved in a traffic accident. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident with a traffic officer, it is important not to feel intimidated, but also to know your rights.

If you have been in a Southern California motorcycle accident with a traffic officer, it is understandable if you’re nervous about your case—especially if your case boils down to the word of a police officer over the word of yourself as a motorcyclist. It is easy to assume that a jury or judge will overlook your testimony in favor of a government employee, especially if that employee’s job is directly related to traffic or the law.And in such a case as this, it’s vital to hire a personal injury attorney knowledgeable about motorcycle law, and who has experience successfully pursuing motorcycle accident claims, like the attorney at the California Attorney Group.

And of course, a traffic officer may be involved in your case for other reasons—he or she would most likely have arrived after the accident to take statements from everyone involved in the accident, including witnesses. Police statements can be a powerful piece of evidence in a Southern California motorcycle accident case, as they are often one of the few clues about the drivers’ emotional states and reactions after a motorcycle accident. When taking a statement, remember that immediately after an accident, you may often be rattled: make sure that you keep the facts of what you recollect simple and direct, and to not apologize or admit guilt. This could be damaging to your case.
If you or a loved one have been involved in a Los Angeles or Riverside motorcycle accident involving a traffic officer, remember that you may still be entitled to the damages and awards you would from any other accident. But also remember that you need to hire an accomplished and dedicated motorcycle accident attorney, who knows the practical knowledge of the ins-and-outs of a motorcycle accident case.
