While controversial in many circles, lane splitting — also known as lane sharing — is one of the most common motorcycle rider behaviors. If you have spent any length of time traveling the highways of Southern California, you have undoubtedly encountered lane splitting and the potential dangers involved for bike riders and car drivers alike.

At Kottler & Kottler, we have handled thousands of motor vehicle cases in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California, including many involving lane splitting. As motorcycle accident attorneys with experience, we can better understand your motorcycle injury claim and properly value your unique damages.
Lane Splitting Is Allowed When "Safe and Prudent"
California law does not prohibit lane splitting. California is actually the only state in the country that allows lane splitting as long as it is done in a "safe and prudent matter." If you have been injured in an accident involving lane splitting, we will thoroughly investigate in order to determine whether the lane splitting in question meets the standard for "safe and prudent."
When lane splitting is not done in a "safe and prudent" manner or when car drivers fail to see motorcycles, serious injuries can result, including brain and spinal cord injuries.
