Deadly Motorcycle Accidents in Texas

Safety experts are concerned about a nearly 17% spike in Texas motorcycle fatalities reported in 2020 compared to 2019, despite decreased traffic on the roads and a 2% decrease in overall motorcycle crashes. Every day in Texas, a motorcycle is killed in a collision, with 482 motorcyclists dying last year. Nearly 12% of all traffic deaths involve motorcycle riders. A wrongful death claim is made when someone is killed in an accident as a result of the carelessness or intentional action of another person. A wrongful death can happen in a car or semi-truck accident, and even in incidents of medical malpractice. Since the victim is unable to bring a personal injury claim on their own behalf, the victim's loved ones step in and file a wrongful death claim. A successful claim can lessen the financial and emotional burden that the sudden loss of the love, care, and income that a person contributed before their death has on the survivors.A Texas wrongful death lawyer from our firm will be able to analyze your case and determine whether you are qualified to seek compensation on behalf of your loved one if you are unsure of your ability to file a claim. Our Houston wrongful death attorneys know how difficult it is when a loved one is killed in a semi-truck accident, and we want to help you make a full recovery.
