Dallas, Texas Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Did you know
that the vast majority of motorcycle accidents
are not caused by the motorcyclist? Inattentive
drivers who claim they did not see the cyclist
are responsible for most car-motorcycle
collisions. Motorcycles may be less visible
because of their size, but that fact does not
excuse careless drivers from responsibility when
they hit a motorcyclist.
Although any
vehicular accident has the potential to be
serious, those involving motorcycles can result
in particularly severe injuries. A motorcycle
accident can leave you with a stack of medical
bills at a time when you're unable to work and
support your family.
That's why a
serious motorcycle accident requires a serious
attorney. If you have suffered personal injuries
or property damage in a motorcycle wreck, you
may be entitled to compensation, including
payment for medical expenses, lost wages, and
pain and suffering. Contact the

Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents have
steadily increased each year since 1997. The
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
reports that 5,154 motorcyclists were killed in
2007, an increase of 7 percent over the 4,837
motorcyclists killed in 2006. There were also
103,000 motorcyclists injured in 2007. In
Texas, 375
motorcyclists were killed in 2007 -- placing our
state third in motorcycle accident fatalities
behind only Florida and California.
Based on the
number of vehicle miles traveled in 2006,
motorcyclists were about 35 times more likely
than passenger car occupants to die in a crash,
and 8 times more likely to be injured.
Motorcycles provide little or no protection in a
collision, and a motorcyclist may be thrown to
the ground or into traffic. Head injuries are
the leading cause of death from motorcycle
crashes, which has led many states to enact
helmet laws. Texas exempts people who are at
least 21 years old from wearing a helmet if they
have successfully completed a motorcycle safety
course or have a health insurance plan that
provides $10,000 in medical benefits for
motorcycle accident injuries.
Besides head
trauma, other common injuries suffered by
motorcyclists include:
-
Broken bones
-
Leg and feet
injuries
-
Severe burns
-
Severe skin
abrasions (known as road rash)
-
Internal
bleeding and trauma
-
Spinal cord
and neck injuries
