DePaolo was riding his motorcycle — a Honda 250 that he had nicknamed "The Sewing Machine" — in the Santa Monica Mountains near Malibu Hills, California, on Sunday afternoon. He veered right into shoulder of Yerba Buena Road, hitting a dirt embankment shortly after 4 p.m., according to a report in the Ventura County Star.

The cause of the accident and DePaolo's death was still under investigation Monday.

DePaolo obtained a Juris Doctor from Pepperdine University School of Law in 1984, a Masters in Business Administration from California Lutheran University in 1997 and a Bachelor of Arts in English from San Diego State University in 1981. He practiced as a workers' compensation defense attorney for Miller & Folse, Adelson Testan Brundo & Popalardo, and as a sole practitioner, before founding WorkCompCentral in 1999.

DePaolo is survived by his wife, Anne; daughter, Nichole; and son, Anthony.

Funeral services had not been arranged as of Monday afternoon, a company official said.
