Motorcycle Accidents in Texas

Approximately 80,000 motorcyclists are harmed in devastating collisions across the United States each year. These vehicles present various challenges for other drivers sharing the road. The fact that motorcycles are smaller and more compact makes them more likely to be missed by reckless drivers.

These and other injuries demand medical treatment and have a dramatic impact on the lives of victims.
