Common Injuries In Motorcycle Accidents
Many drivers on the road today are not properly watching out for motorcycles, and this carelessness leads to many accidents. As you might imagine, motorcycle riders often sustain significant injuries when they are involved in an accident with a car or truck. Sometimes these injuries are catastrophic and the victim is left with permanent, life-altering effects. Some common injuries suffered as a result of a motorcycle accident include the following:
- Concussion
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Neck and back injuries
- Soft tissue damage
- Internal organ damage
Recovery from these types of injuries can often be long and painful. If you were involved in an accident that was someone else’s fault, you have a right to be compensated for your injuries. Let the attorneys at Bush & Bush Law Group help you get the compensation you are owed.
Proving Your Motorcycle Accident Case
To successfully recover compensation in your motorcycle accident case, you must prove four elements. First, you must prove that the defendant had a duty of care. By driving their car on the road, they automatically have a duty to act as a reasonable driver.
Next, you must prove that the other driver breached their duty. A breach may occur if they were speeding, texting while driving, failing to look before changing lanes, or any number of other careless activities.
Finally, you must prove that the breach caused the accident and that you suffered some injury from the accident.
A Dallas car accident lawyer can help you gather the necessary evidence to prove that the breach caused the accident and that you suffered some injury from the accident.
Even if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to obtain a partial recovery. Texas follows the modified comparative negligence rule (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001). This rule states that your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault; however, if you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot receive compensation. For example, suppose you are owed $10,000 as a result of the accident. If you are found to be 30% at fault, your award will be reduced by $3,000, so you will end up getting $7,000 in damages.
