Motorcycle Accidents in Texas
Motorcycle accidents are among the most dangerous types of roadway collisions in Texas, and hit-and-run crashes make the aftermath even more devastating.
Riders are vulnerable to severe injuries due to the lack of protection that motorcycles provide. Busy intersections often see heavy traffic, increasing the risk of collisions when drivers fail to stay alert or obey traffic laws.
Common injuries in motorcycle accidents include broken bones, spinal injuries, head trauma, and internal damage. Victims often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and time away from work, creating major financial challenges. In hit-and-run cases, recovering compensation can be more complex—but not impossible.
A skilled motorcycle accident attorney can help injured victims pursue compensation through several avenues, including:
- Medical expenses: Covering hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and physical therapy.
- Lost wages: Reimbursing income lost during recovery.
- Pain and suffering: Addressing both physical and emotional trauma.
- Property damage: Paying for repairs or replacement of the motorcycle.
- Punitive damages: In some cases, additional compensation may be awarded to punish reckless or intentional behavior, such as fleeing the scene.
If the at-fault driver is never found, victims may still seek recovery through uninsured motorist coverage or other applicable policies. Taking quick legal action helps preserve evidence, identify responsible parties, and protect your rights.
