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:
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.
To successfully recover compensation in your motorcycle crash 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.
After a motorcycle crash, prioritize safety by checking for injuries and calling 911. Document the accident scene with photos, exchange information with other parties, and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Contact a Dallas motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible to protect your legal rights.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a motorcycle accident claim is typically two years from the date of the accident. It’s important to act quickly to ensure you meet all deadlines and preserve evidence for your case.
Texas follows a comparative negligence system, meaning fault is assigned to each party involved. If you are partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. A motorcycle accident lawyer can help establish fault and maximize your recovery.
Victims of motorcycle wrecks may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In cases of severe negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
Most Dallas motorcycle accident attorneys, including our firm, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay any legal fees upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, taking a percentage of the settlement or verdict.
While it’s possible to handle a claim on your own, motorcycle accident lawyers can significantly improve your chances of getting fair compensation. We handle the legal complexities, deal with insurance companies, and build a strong case to ensure you receive the maximum settlement possible.
In Texas, riders over 21 aren’t legally required to wear helmets if they meet certain insurance and training criteria. However, not wearing a helmet may impact your compensation if it’s proven that your injuries would have been less severe with a helmet. It’s important to consult an attorney to understand how this may affect your case.
