Motorcycle Riders Deserve Fair Treatment
After a motorcycle accident, injured riders often face unfair assumptions. Insurance companies may try to blame the rider before fully investigating what happened. But many motorcycle crashes are caused by negligent drivers who fail to look, fail to yield, follow too closely, or make unsafe turns.
Attorney Jessica Rodriguez-Wahlquist helps injured motorcyclists fight back against bias and pursue justice after serious crashes.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes may involve:
- Drivers failing to yield
- Unsafe left turns
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Unsafe lane changes
- Following too closely
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Road debris
- Poor road conditions
- Vehicle doors opening into traffic
- Commercial vehicle blind spots
A driver may say, “I didn’t see the motorcycle.” That does not automatically excuse negligence.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Because riders have less protection than people inside cars, motorcycle crashes can cause severe injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures
- Road rash
- Degloving injuries
- Internal injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Knee injuries
- Nerve damage
- Amputations
- Severe scarring
- Chronic pain
- Wrongful death
Some motorcycle injuries require surgery, skin grafting, orthopedic hardware, physical therapy, pain management, and long-term rehabilitation.
Evidence That Can Help a Motorcycle Case
Important evidence may include:
- Police crash report
- Helmet or protective gear
- Photos of the motorcycle
- Vehicle damage
- Roadway debris
- Surveillance footage
- Dash camera footage
- Witness statements
- Traffic camera footage
- Medical records
- Accident reconstruction analysis
The sooner the crash is investigated, the better the chance of preserving evidence.
Do Not Let the Insurance Company Blame You
Insurance companies may try to argue that the motorcycle rider was speeding, reckless, or partly responsible. Texas proportionate responsibility rules can reduce or even prevent recovery if fault is assigned against you. That is why you need someone protecting your side of the story.
