Motorcycle Accidents in Texas
Motorcyclists face an increased risk on Texas roadways due to limited protection compared to occupants of cars and trucks. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, hundreds of motorcyclists lose their lives every year in crashes across the state, with intersections being among the most common locations for these tragic events.
It’s important to understand some of the challenges and realities that come with motorcycle accidents:
- Severe Injuries and Fatalities: Motorcycle riders are more exposed, which means crashes often result in catastrophic injuries or loss of life. Helmets and protective gear reduce risk but can’t prevent all serious harm.
- Visibility Issues: Many motorcycle accidents occur because other drivers fail to see riders. Intersections are particularly dangerous when drivers misjudge a motorcyclist’s speed or distance.
- Insurance Complications: Insurance companies may try to shift blame onto motorcyclists, even when they were riding responsibly. Legal representation helps victims and families push back against unfair tactics.
- Wrongful Death Claims: Families who lose a loved one in a motorcycle crash may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim. This can help cover funeral expenses, lost income, and the emotional impact of losing a family member.
- Long-Term Grief Support: Losing someone suddenly in a crash can cause deep emotional trauma for family and friends. Many families find counseling and community support groups helpful during this painful time.
