If another party causes a motorcycle crash through negligence, the victim or their family may be entitled to compensation. Partnering with the right personal injury attorney can significantly increase the amount you receive.

Bikers Are Not Always at Fault for Carrollton Motorcycle Crashes

Some people wrongly believe that motorcyclists are always responsible for causing accidents. That simply is not true. While some of these collisions are indeed caused by motorcyclists, others can share the blame. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Speeding
• Failing to yield the right of way
• Tailgating
• Distracted, fatigued, or impaired driving
• Lane-splitting
• Improper passing
• Motorists crowding bikes
• Motorists failing to see motorcycles
• Debris on roadways, including loose gravel and grass clippings
• Potholes and broken road surfaces

Government agencies, road construction crews, motorists, homeowners, lawn care companies, and bikers can all contribute to motorcycle crashes. Unfortunately, many of these accidents cause severe or fatal wounds. Before you can file a claim for compensation, we need to investigate your crash to determine how it happened and who is liable for paying your claim. Jerry D. Andrews, P.C. has no bias against motorcyclists. You can rely on us to offer top-notch legal counsel geared toward helping you collect the highest available compensation.

Catastrophic and Fatal Injuries and Damages in Texas Motorcycle Wrecks

Even when wearing full protective gear and a helmet, a motorcycle rider or passenger is incredibly vulnerable to injuries in a collision. Motorcyclists may be struck by a car directly, be thrown from the bike, hit another car or the ground, and potentially be struck by another car while on the road. They may be pinned between their bike and a vehicle or a stationary object, or the bike could fall on them.

Injuries from motorcycle crashes include, but are not limited to:

• Road rash
• Several broken bones
• Spinal cord damage, including paralysis
• Organ damage
• Hip, knee, ankle, and leg injuries
• Head and brain injuries
• Bruising
• Burns
• Amputations

If the wounds are not immediately fatal, they will probably require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. The bike may be damaged or totaled, along with other personal property. A prolonged recovery that impacts your ability to work can add to your financial strain.

Along with your financial losses, you may also experience significant pain and suffering, PTSD, disfigurement, loss of the enjoyment of life, disability, and other adverse impacts on your quality of life.

If the injuries sustained are fatal, eligible survivors may be able to collect additional damages through a wrongful death claim. Without the effective advocacy of our skilled attorney, you are unlikely to receive the full amount of damages you deserve.

We know how to calculate the value of your case. We can gather the evidence necessary to support your claim, and we will fight the liable insurance company to maximize your compensation. If settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, our top-notch litigation experience will serve you well.
