What Causes Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can be tragic and upsetting events. Serious bodily harm and even death are often the results of such tragic occurrences. The lack of a protective barrier between the driver and the road ultimately leaves motorcyclists vulnerable. Knowing what often causes motorcycle accidents can alert you to how to avoid having one.

Several types of motorcycle accidents exist, but some are more common than others. Whether you drive a larger vehicle or whether you are a motorcycle rider, everyone on the road needs to be familiar with the most common types of motorcycle accidents so that you can be aware of them and avoid them while driving.

Motorcycles face higher dangers from road hazards than cars and other vehicles. Due to the motorcycle’s smaller size and less stable nature, potholes, dead animals, slick pavement conditions, uneven heights between lanes, and other irregularities or unexpected objects in the road pose a serious safety threat to motorcycles. High speed is a causal factor of accidents too. Speed displaces the alignment of the motorcycle, as it causes the front end to ‘wobble’. Hence, the motorcyclist loses control and collides with any stationary object or moving vehicle.

Whatever the cause, nearly all motorcycle accidents result in injury, and nearly half of those are more than minor. Since medical costs and liability questions are common, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney can be beneficial in dealing with post-accident issues. At our Law Firm, your motorcycle accident attorney is determined to help you!

Personal Injury Lawyers – Truck Accidents

As an experienced 18-wheeler accident lawyer, I hear questions like this quite a bit: I was seriously hurt when a tractor-trailer crashed into my car, and I don’t know what to do. Contact us now. As an experienced trucking accident lawyer, you need to take immediate action to gather evidence. More on this website
Preserve your rights, and pursue a truck accident claim. Here are some preliminary questions we’ll be discussing together:

* Were you a driver or passenger in the car struck by the semi?
* Where did the semi-accident occur?
* When did the truck accident occur?
* How did this truck-car accident occur? Describe exactly what happened. Describe the weather conditions at the time of the crash and the trucking accident; where were you going? (e. G. School, work, home, friends’ house, etc. ).
* Who is your auto insurance company? Bring in your insurance declarations page (this will show us your coverage types).
* Did the police arrive at the scene?
* Was a traffic crash report prepared? Describe the types of personal injury you have suffered.
* What was the extent of the property damage to the vehicles involved in the car-truck accident?
* Were there any witnesses who saw the traffic crash?
* Did law enforcement obtain that information?
* Were you transported from the scene by ems?
* Did you go to the hospital or receive medical treatment from any doctor?
* What is your current medical status?
* Have you been contacted by the at-fault truck driver, trucking company, or their insurance carrier or representative? [do not give them an interview or statement — you are not required to]

I will ask you to provide basic background information about yourself, such as employment history, income loss because of the tractor-trailer accident, medical bills (past and future) you expect because of the tuck-car accident, and discuss factual and legal issues which may arise in the case. Of course, we will discuss settlement possibilities, your hopes and goals, and my thoughts on how we may be able to achieve them. So, how do we reach an accident settlement to cover your serious injury? That, of course, depends on the facts of the case. How that facts are framed and addressed can play a role during settlement negotiations. If you believe your serious injury was caused by the negligence of a truck driver or trucking company, then contact us today. The prompt investigation, including collecting and documenting evidence, including photographs of the property, the semi-accident scene, and your serious injuries, can be critical in proving a serious semi-accident injury claim.

Car Accidents

Every year thousands of people are killed in auto accidents on Texas roadways. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas experienced an increase in the number of motor vehicle traffic fatalities. The 2020 death toll of 3,896 was an increase of 7.54% from the 3,623 deaths recorded in 2019. There were 12,107 serious injury crashes in Texas in 2020 with 14,656 people sustaining a serious injury.
Our Law Firm has the experience and a record of success in representing people injured or killed in automobile accidents. If you are involved in a car or truck accident in Texas, it is important that you obtain a lawyer that is experienced in handling Texas auto accidents to represent you.

In Texas, there is a procedure in place to determine whether negligence is involved in a car or truck accident. It is called “proper lookout,” and this means that the driver has to observe all the circumstances of driving in order to prevent a car accident. Thus, drivers have a duty to pay attention to the road as well as to other drivers. The failure to observe this simple rule could result in an automobile accident because of that driver’s negligence or inattention. More on this website

Even minor car accidents can produce injuries that are disproportionate to the event, and symptoms may not arise until well after the original accident. People involved in auto accidents include:

Drivers of vehicles where the driver is at fault.
Drivers of vehicles involved in accidents where another driver was at fault.
Passengers in vehicle accidents whose driver or the driver of another vehicle was at fault.
Pedestrians are hit by vehicles.
Cyclists and motorcycle riders were hit by motorists.

Under Texas and federal law, those injured in car or truck accidents caused by the negligence or recklessness of others are entitled to file a civil action suit – called a “tort” – against those who caused them harm. The plaintiff (claimant) files a lawsuit against the party that caused the injury (defendant). If negligence is proven, the defendant must pay the plaintiff monetary “damages” that may include consideration for present and future loss of earnings, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. In order for the plaintiff to recover damages, a skilled attorney must prove the critical elements of negligence:

The defendant had a duty to the plaintiff.
The defendant failed in that duty.

The plaintiff was injured and damaged as a result of the defendants’ breach of duty.

In Texas, automobile owners are required to carry proof of insurance coverage. If the other driver has no liability insurance or not enough insurance to pay for your injuries, your own policy may provide enough coverage to protect you against uninsured or underinsured motorists. It is best to consult an attorney at our Law Firm to seek advice regarding potential damages against the driver of a motor vehicle under these circumstances: Visite this website

There was a fatality.
Bones were broken or fractured.
There is permanent and serious injury or disfigurement.
If you are entitled to damages, your compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering damages. If the accident was caused by someone else’s exceedingly reckless or careless behavior, you may also be entitled to punitive damages.

Automobile accident victims are often overwhelmed and suffering from a multiplicity of injuries – emotional, physical, and financial. If you are injured in a car accident, our Law Firm can assist you in receiving compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.
