We are your California motorcycle accident lawyers of choice in Northern Central and Southern California. This page will describe our qualifications and track record as aggressive California motorcycle accident attorneys. It will describe Mr. Henke's extraordinary accomplishments as a California trial lawyer, the acclaim he has received from his trial lawyer peers, as well as his qualifications as a biker himself, having started riding 40 years ago at age 11, personally knowledgeable about motorcycle riding physics, from the seat up. He is also a motorcyclist safety advocate, founder of Motorcyclists Against Dumb Drivers and Co-Moderator of "Bruce & Ray's Biker Forum" at LDR Long Distance Rider. Ray Henke is your real motorcycle accident lawyer.

Below, this real California motorcycle accident lawyer will also provide you the trial lawyer qualification questions you should want to ask any "California motorcycle injury attorney " who you would consider to represent you. And Henke will answer the questions, without your having to ask.

Our California motorcycle accident attorneys, in addition to being highly qualified and respected trial lawyers, are very aggressive in prosecuting serious injury motorcycle accident litigation, and that is not advertising hype. You may wish to consider our approach to preparing and presenting general and special damages in serious and catastrophic injury cases. We are very highly experienced in presenting complex future medical expenses, using life care planners and forensic economists, and presenting future earnings losses using highly qualified vocational rehabilitation experts and economists. We commonly present our catastrophically injured clients "general damages," not merely their "pain and suffering" but their "loss of enjoyment of life damages," by juxtaposing the evidence of all that our clients enjoyed in their lives before the accident against a professionally produced "Day in the Life" documentary showing our clients courage in confronting all of the difficulties and challenges presenting by their post-accident daily life. You can review the approaches of our serious injury motorcycle accident lawyers to the presentation of the catastrophically injured plaintiffs damages on our "Serious Injury Lawyers" page.

One common problem in motorcycle accidents in particular is that motorcyclists will often suffer serious and sometimes catastrophic injuries, but the drivers who cause the accidents are commonly underinsured and lack sufficient assets to compensate the motorcyclists' damages. We have developed a number of strategies for identifying sources of recovery in serious injury motorcycle accident litigation which are often overlooked by other motorcycle accident attorneys who may be less knowledgeable or aggressive. Please consider the facts and solutions arrived at to obtain our most recent motorcycle accident multimillion dollar verdict, discussed under "Recent Victories" in the left column of this page. In that serious injury, lower leg amputation motorcycle accident case, as the product of our investigation we were able to establish that the defendant auto driver was operating his vehicle "in the course and scope of his employment" after which we were able to name the employer as a defendant and recover the multimillion dollar settlement from the employer's liability insurance and excess insurance policies. As another specific example of our aggressive and indeed uniquely creative approach to motorcycle accident litigation, please consider that we can often both overcome defendant attorney arguments that the motorcyclist was at fault for the accident, and obtain access to additional insurance coverage by the approach of our California motorcycle accident lawyers to obtain the cell phone records of the defendant auto driver whether or not anyone noticed that the driver was on his cell phone. One in ten of the cars we encounter as we ride our motorcycles on our American streets and highways now, at any given moment in time, is being driven by an auto driver who is DUI level driving impaired under the influence of cell conversation, and 4 times more likely to cause an accident. We have exhaustively reviewed of all the scientific literature on the DUI level driving impairment resulting from cell phone use while driving. Please see our separate Cell Phone Accident page to learn more. The evidence from the auto driver's cell phone records that he was engaged in cell conversation in the moments leading up to the accident can be as effective in establishing liability in the contested case as evidence that the other driver was driving DUI impaired under the influence of alcohol. But that is not all. Through cell phone records and the depositions of the parties to the call we can also in many cases establish that the defendant driver was engaged in a business call and where we can we again can name the defendant's employer as a defendant and recover against the employer's insurance and assets..

In every serious injury motorcycle accident case, whether or not the other driver was seen by witnesses to have been on the cell phone at the time of the accident, it is essential for appropriately educated California motorcycle accident lawyers knowledgeable about the litigation advantages to be obtained from cell phone evidence to do the appropriate investigation, including to obtain the other driver's cell records to establish that the auto driver was DUI impaired, under the influence of cell conversation.. The information from appropriate California motorcycle accident lawyers' investigation, including obtaining the cell phone records of the defendant driver and taking the depositions of both parties to the cell conversation can make all the difference in the world for his client, where he can establish that the call was business related and identify the additional sources of insurance and available assets to fully compensate the seriously injured motorcyclist for his damages.

The motorcyclist was also riding on a suspended license, and the defendant driver had only statutory minimum liability insurance, but the tougher the motorcycle accident case the more determined and aggressive the motorcycle accident lawyer must be. California motorcycle accident lawyer, Ray Henke, took the deposition of the police officer who investigated the accident and elicited his testimony both that splitting lanes in California was legal and that the motorcyclist's having entered the intersection from between the two left turning cars was not a factor justifying assigning any fault to the motorcyclist in the accident. California motorcycle accident lawyer, Henke, also established that the defendant motoristwas driving his vehicle "in the course and scope of his employment," named the driver's employer as a defendant in the litigation under the vicarious liability doctrine of respondeat superior, rendering the employer's million dollar insurance policy and multi-million dollar excess policy available to compensate Henke's client's injuries and damages.

What Should The Seriously Injured California Motorcycle Accident Victim Look for In a California Motorcycle Injury Lawyer?

You Have the Right to Ask Any California Motorcycle Accident Lawyer About his Qualifications. And You Should Do So.

All good lawyers, and that includes all "California motorcycle accident lawyers," should see the logic of your wanting to assure that you will be properly represented in your motorcycle accident case, and they should be willing and happy to answer any questions you have about their trial lawyer and motorcycle lawyer qualifications.

Below are provided a number of questions are that you should consider asking to determine which "California motorcycle accident lawyer" is best for you.

As a California motorcycle accident lawyer who you may wish to consider for your case, Henke will also provide specific, straightforward answers to each of the trial lawyer and motorcycle accident lawyer qualification questions without your first having to ask him. He describes his superior qualifications as a trial lawyer, his enviable standing in the trial lawyer community, some of his accomplishments as a trial lawyer, his California and national recognition as a superior trial lawyer, and his track record, including as a motorcycle accident lawyer in California motorcycle accident litigation.

First, however, he will explain that one important qualification that you should insist upon, and that is that your California motorcycle accident lawyer be a motorcyclist himself.

Henke doesn't just call himself a "motorcycle accident lawyer." He has been riding motorcycles since he was 11 years old, and he continues to ride today. And, yes, he considers himself a "biker." Why? Well, let him ask you: Do you feel a special loyalty for your two wheeled brethren. Would you stop to help and offer your tools or to run to pick up gas if you found a fellow rider stranded with his motorcycle by the side of the road. Well that loyalty is how Henke defines being a "biker," and it carries over into his commitment as a motorcycle accident lawyer and to his representation of all his motorcycle accident clients.

Because he is a motorcyclist, he also understands "motorcycle physics." Do you really want to deal with a auto driving personal injury attorney who scratches his head and asks, "Well, why didn't you just turn your handle bars more to the left if you needed to tighten your left turn?" Think about it. Or "Why didn't you just slam on your brakes in the turn when the car pulled out in front of you?"

Do you really want to look into the blank eyes of an auto driving personal injury lawyer as you explain to him how your two wheeled bike turns as a function of its lean and counter-steering? Do you think you should have to explain to your attorney that if your bike didn't go down it would straighten up and run off the side of the road or into a car in the adjoining lane if you suddenly "slammed on your brakes" in a tight turn? Do you really want an auto driving personal injury lawyer cross-examining the defense motorcycle accident reconstruction expert? The answer is No.

"It's all about understanding." And that's what biker lawyer Ray Henke can do for you that an auto driving personal injury lawyer can't.

However, equally important are the California motorcycle accident attorney's legal qualifications. So in assessing the qualities of the California motorcycle accident lawyers you would want to represent you, you should consider asking any "California motorcycle accident lawyer" who you would consider to represent you the following legal qualification questions. Mr. Henke also provides his straightforward and accurate answers to the same questions without waiting for you to ask.

Qualification Questions To Ask Any California Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Who You Would Consider To Represent You.

Ask: Is the California motorcycle accident lawyer rated by Martindale and Hubble? And if so, what is the attorney's "Legal Ability" rating and "General Ethical Standards" rating?

Answer: California motorcycle accident lawyer, Henke's answer is that he has the very highest Martindale & Hubbell rating, "AV." "A" the "legal ability"[from Very High to Preeminent]; and "V" [Very High], the very highest "Legal Ability" and "General Ethical Standards" ratings. It is a rating that Henke has received for all of the past decade of his career. In the words of Martindale Hubbell: "AV Peer Review Rating — shows that a lawyer has reached the height of professional excellence. He or she has usually practiced law for many years, and is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity."

Ask: Has the California motorcycle accident attorney served as prosecuting counsel in litigation involving substantial injuries, and then obtained substantial settlements and jury verdicts?

Answer: California motorcycle injury attorney, Ray Henke has served as lead counsel in many serious injury cases over the course of his career and has obtained numerous substantial settlements and jury verdicts, including multimillion dollar settlements and multimillion dollar jury verdicts.

Most Recent Example: 2.5 Million dollar settlement in California motorcycle accident case. It was a contested Liability motorcycle intersection accident in which the motorcycle pulled out from between two left turn lanes. The motorcyclist suffered a below knee injury and amputation, broken ribs and a broken clavicle.

The multimillion dollar settlement was obtained after investigation developed that the defendant driver was operating his vehicle in the course and scope of his employment, and after Henke then named the employer as a defendant in the litigation, making the employer's multimillion dollar insurance available to pay the motorcyclist's damages.

Required Disclaimer. The results obtained in those cases were dependent upon the facts of the cases, and the results will differ in other cases based on different facts.

Ask: Is the California motorcycle accident lawyer a member of the "Million Dollar Advocates Forum?

Answer: California Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Ray Henke is a member of the "Million Dollar Advocates Forum," an exclusive trial lawyer organization numbering only 3000 nationwide, described as: "the most prestigious group of trial lawyers in the United States." Membership is limited, inter alia, to trial lawyers who have obtained million and multimillion dollar settlements and jury verdicts.

Ask: Is The Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Aggressive in his Prosecution of his Cases, and Can he Cite to Examples of Cases in which his Aggressive Representation Paid Off?

Answer: In answer to the question California motorcycle accident lawyer Henke can refer to his most recently settled case, identified in answer to the question immediately above, a case in which was able to obtain the multimillion dollar settlement for his motorcyclist client only because he aggressively sought the information to establish that the other driver was driving his vehicle at the time of the accident in the course and scope of his employment. Once established this permitted Henke to name the employer as a defendant which proved extremely important to obtain the insurer's greater insurance policy limits to more fully compensate the plaintiff for his injuries and the full measure of his economic damages.

Ask: Have the California Auto Accident Lawyers Researched the Scientific Literature Demonstrating the DUI Level Impairment Associated with Driving Under the Influence of a Cell Phone? Do They Understand The Importance of Obtaining the Other Driver's Cell Phone Records in Every Serious Injury Auto Accident Case? Do They Know How to Exploit the Litigation Advantages to be Obtained?

Answer: There is no lawyer in California more knowledgeable about the scientific literature demonstrating that those who drive under the influence of cell phones are DUI level impaired and 4 times more likely to cause an accident. Please consider the Cell Phone Accident Lawyers page on this web site. Mr. Henke has read all of the scientific literature, he has prepared scientific review articles on the subject which have been published and republished in a variety of forums, including on forums advocating motorcyclist safety and seeking comprehensive state cell phone bans. He has also led and engaged in a national lobbying effort to obtain comprehensive cell phone legislation specifically for the protection of motorcyclist who are most at risk in the accidents cell impaired motorists cause..

It is essential in every serious injury motorcycle accident case to obtain the other driver's cell phone records whether or not a witness saw the driver on the cell phone. One out of every ten auto drivers on our streets and highways at any given moment in time is actively involved in cell conversation, and there may be no witness watching the driver in the moments immediately preceding the accident. The advantages of demonstrating that the other driver was on the cell phone can be enormous, from aiding in establishing the liability of the other party to demonstrating that the other party was on a business call, in the course and scope of his employment, and hence laying the groundwork to bring the employer in as a defendant, with its commonly much larger insurance coverage.

Ask: Have the California motorcycle injury attorneys been recognized by their peers as established, superior trial lawyers?

Answer: California motorcycle accident lawyer, Ray Henke was elected Governor of the CAALA, the second larges trial lawyers association in California, and the fifth largest trial lawyers association in the United States, by the thousands of trial lawyer members of the association.

Henke was also nominated by the CAALA Board for the most highly coveted "Trial Lawyer of the Year" Award.

Henke served for years in the prestigious position of the Editor-in-Chief of CAALAs legal journal, "THE ADVOCATE."

Ask: Have the California motorcycle accident lawyers obtained substantial positive recognition in and outside the legal profession?

Answer: California motorcycle accident lawyer, Henke, has a national reputation as an effective, successful and determined trial attorney as reflected in scores of newspaper articles about Mr. Henke and his trial work in legitimate national newspapers from the front page of the New York Times to the front page of the Los Angeles Times, from the Washington Post to the San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner. His cases and legal work have also been described in feature articles in national and California legal magazines and journals, the National Law Journal and California Lawyer. His cases and legal work have also been the subject of national and international legitimate television news coverage, Tom Brokaw's NBC Nightly News, CNN. Henke has also testified before Congress at the invitation of the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives on his legal work in several cases, including his use of claims for punitive damages to set examples of defendants who consciously disregard the safety, health and rights of others. While the Congressional testimony did not involve a California motorcycle accident, the issue of punitive damages can arise in a motorcycle accident case, for example, in cases of road rage where an auto driver intentionally hits a motorcyclist, or drives his car in a manner that amounts to malicious disregard for the lives of others and causes a motorcycle accident.

Ask: Have the California motorcycle accident lawyers fully researched the science establishing that driving under the influence of cell conversation results in DUI level driving impairment and the 4 fold increased likelihood that the motorist will cause an accident? Will they be sufficiently aggressive in their investigation to establish that the driver was on his cell phone in the moments leading up to the accident, and to determine whether the call was a business related call? Do the California motorcycle accident attorneys have the scientific background to present the epidemiological and experimental evidence in settlement negotiations and at trial? And are the California motorcycle accident lawyers knowledgeable about the substantial advantages to be gained by the evidence in serious injury motorcycle cases both to aid in establishing liability and in identifying additional potential defendants, assets and insurance to fully compensate the motorcyclist for his serious injuries and damages.

Answer: California motorcycle accident lawyer, Ray Henke, is the most knowledgeable and most widely published lawyer in the United States on the epidemiology and experimental literature demonstrating that driving under the influence of cell conversation results in DUI level driving impairment and a four fold increased likelihood that the driver will cause an accident. Please consider our "Cell Phone Accident Lawyer " page, and Mr. Henke's Scientific Review Article. California motorcycle accident lawyer, Ray Henke, has participated as a national activist for comprehensive cell phone legislation, including by inspiring motorcycle safety and biker rights advocates to take the lead in their states in seeking such legislation, specifically because it is motorcyclists who are disproportionately likely to be seriously injured or killed in the accidents that cell phone impaired drivers cause. Mr. Henke's background in epidemiology and experimental science, derived from 20 years practicing as a pharmaceutical product liability trial lawyer and medical malpractice lawyer, makes him much more qualified to comprehend and present the statistical arguments derived from the scientific cell phone literature in settlement conferences and at the trial of serious injury motorcycle accident cases. California motorcycle accident lawyer, Mr. Henke, is a leader in suggesting the litigation advantages of cell phone evidence in accident litigation to aid in establishing liability in contested cases, where it can be proven that the other driver was DUI level driving impaired as the result of the motorist's use of his cell phone. California motorcycle accident lawyer, Mr. Henke, is indeed at the forefront in using the science to demonstrate in accident litigation that the use of hands-free cell devices is just as dangerous as using handheld devices, the DUI impairment deriving not from holding the phone but from the diversion of limited conscious attention to the internal-cognitive give and take of the conversation away from the external-visual tasks essential for safe driving. Again, please see the "Cell Phone Accident Lawyers" page. Perhaps most important in motorcycle accident cases, attorney Henke, has pioneered the use of cell phone records and deposing the defendant driver and the other party to the call to establish that the call is business related for the specific purpose of determining if the call was "in the course and scope of the driver's employment," permitting the aggressive California motorcycle accident lawyer to name the employer as a defendant in the litigation to insure that there will be sufficient insurance or assets to pay for the seriously injured motorcyclist's injuries and damages.

Ask: Can the California motorcycle accident attorney verify that he is an effective legal advocate, by citation to important published appellate victories he has achieved?

A California motorcycle accident attorney's appellate success matters because it is a good measure of the attorney's vitally important general ability to argue and persuade on legal issues. It is an ability that is not just essential on appeals. It is an ability essential to the California motorcycle accident attorney's effectiveness in meeting all the big and small challenges presented at every stage of California motorcycle accident litigation, e.g., in pretrial motions, which can seriously affect settlement posture of a motorcycle accident case as well as the respective parties' important advantages or disadvantages at the motorcycle accident trial.. Your California motorcycle accident attorneys willingness to ask the appellate court to immediately reverse a bad pretrial decision that guts the motorcycle accident case may also be essential to achieve the quickest and best result. Legal advocacy is also a talent essential during a California motorcycle accident trial, as the trial lawyer must be able to effectively argue legal issues, e.g., the admissibility of the defendant's admission of fault in the motorcycle accident or the inadmissibility of prejudicial medical or character evidence, or the permissibility of expert motorcycle accident reconstruction opinion testimony, etc. Then, if you "hit big" at trial, the defendant is almost certain to appeal, and you may then require superior legal advocacy to hold on to your victory.

Answer: California motorcycle accident attorney Mr. Henke has had extraordinary published and verifiable appellate victories. As one example, on behalf of a single aggrieved client Mr. Henke obtained the reversal of a $120,000,000.00 Ohio Federal District Court approved settlement purporting to bind 1000 product liability claimants joined in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Ohio and all others injured by the product nationwide. (This was not a motorcycle product liability case, but the same principles would apply.) On a petition for writ of mandate to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, Mr. Henke also obtained the reversal of the Ohio Federal District Court's certification of a national mandatory product liability class action. Mr. Henke's argument, accepted by the Court of Appeals as requiring both decisions was that Mr. Henke's client was denied his right to the attorney of his choice and his and his chosen attorney's control over his individual litigation. The appellate decision effected an important and enduring change in the law severely restricting the availability of mandatory, as opposed to voluntary class actions.

As another example of this California motorcycle lawyer's appellate success, when a California trial judge applied newly enacted tort reform legislation to deprive Mr. Henke's 5 clients of their punitive damage claims, Mr. Henke obtained a stay of the trial and filed in the California Court of Appeals an "extraordinary writ" seeking an immediate reversal of the California trial court's order. The California Court of Appeals granted the writ of mandamus, ordering the trial court to reverse its order and permit Henke's clients to pursue their punitive damage claim. It also rendered an important published appellate opinion reinterpreting the repressive California tort reform legislation to deprive it of most of its negative force and effect. This California Court of Appeals decision also has been cited in numerous subsequent appellate decisions, including, to Henke's delight, for the proposition that "legislation must be interpreted to avoid absurd results." This was not a motorcycle accident case, however, again the issue of punitive damages may arise in motorcycle accident cases, for example, where the auto driver demonstrated by his actions a conscious disregard for the motorcyclist's life.

Henke has also obtained extraordinary unpublished appellate victories, including the reversal of a judge's summary judgment order denying a paraplegic accident victim his day in court. The young, teenage plaintiff, had been riding home from school in the back of his friend's pick up truck. Suit was originally brought by a very highly regarded New Jersey lawyer, appearing pro hac vice in California, on the theories of negligent and strict product liability "failure to warn"against the foreign truck manufacturer. The manufacturer argued and the trial court judge agreed that the dangers of riding in the back of a pick up truck are "open and obvious" as a matter of law, rendering "failure to warn" theory untenable, and "threw the case out of court." The New Jersey attorney contacted Henke for help in overturning the trial judge's ruling. Henke prosecuted the appeal, in which Mr. Henke cited not only to the evidence of the dangers, but to the legislative history, pointing out that in the year prior to the accident, then Governor Wilson had vetoed legislation which would have made it illegal to ride in the back of pick up trucks, and quoted the Governor's remarks. If the dangers of riding in the back of a pick up truck were not "open and obvious" to Governor Wilson, Henke argued, then the trial court was out of line in ruling that the dangers were "open and obvious" as a matter of law. The Court of Appeals overturned the trial court's summary judgment and ordered that the young paraplegic plaintiff be allowed his day in court.

The California motorcycle accident lawyer's recognition by Martindale Hubble, his recognition by his peers, his local and national reputation, his trial successes and his appellate successes are all matters which you should want to inquire about in selecting the right California motorcycle accident attorney for your serious injury case.
