Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Texas

Motorcycles are often considered a rejuvenating method of transportation. Here in Texas, nearly 350,000 people are registered motorcycle owners. Not only is riding a motorcycle a joyful experience for most, but it is extremely economical. Traveling on smaller vehicles can be extremely helpful when it comes to cutting down the costs of fuel. Although riders account for a small fraction of the number of travelers on roadways daily, they are involved in collisions at an alarming rate. Traveling on two wheels means that other vehicles are unable to see riders and that they are more likely to have issues traveling over rough and damaged roadways. The fact that riders remain vulnerable to outside forces means they are more likely to suffer catastrophic injuries in collisions.

The majority of motorcycle accidents in our state are a result of negligent drivers. Driver errors and those engaging in reckless actions like texting, eating, or changing the radio while driving, as well as those who choose to drive impaired, commonly cause life-changing accidents throughout our state. Although thousands of people are left with serious injuries due to motorcycle accidents, more than 500 motorcyclists lose their lives in accidents throughout our state each year. When victims end up passing away due to accidents caused by reckless or negligent drivers, it is imperative that their families contact a wrongful death attorney in Texas as soon as possible.

When motorcyclists lose their lives in preventable accidents, their families are able to file wrongful death claims against wrongdoers to obtain compensation for funeral costs, medical treatment, and various other financial burdens they face moving forward after an unexpected loss. Although no amount of compensation could ever make us feel whole against after losing a loved one, having the resources available to cover unexpected costs moving forward can help families immensely.
