Car/Motorcycle Accidents

Texas Car and Motorcycle Accident Law Firm

Car-motorcycle accidents are common in both crowded cities and in isolated rural areas. Bikers who are injured in crashes with automobiles often hear these words spoken by the driver of the car afterward: "I didn't see the motorcycle." As bikers and personal injury professionals, we are very familiar with those kinds of claims, as well with other challenges that bikers face in accident scenarios:

  • Law enforcement officers often make mistakes in their determination of "fault" in a motorcycle accident.
  • Both police and the general public ― including jury members ― tend to carry a bias against motorcyclists in general, apparently based on the assumption that bikers are more likely to engage in risky conduct.
  • People on motorcycles, both operators and passengers, tend to be thrown from the bike at the time of impact. There is no steel cage surrounding the biker or motorcycle passenger as there is for car drivers and passengers. Consequently, a biker injury tends to be much worse than lesser injuries suffered by occupants of an automobile:
  • Road rash (major skin injury)
  • Head injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Broken bones

Parking lots are sometimes dangerous places for motorcycles, as cars stop suddenly or pull out of parking places without warning. These sudden actions may cause a motorcycle rider to drop the bike and suffer an apparent single-vehicle accident that was in fact a consequence of another driver's actions.

If you have been injured in a car-motorcycle accident, however, your primary concern at this time may well be not so much how it happened as how you will cope with the aftermath. Led by Miguel Adame, an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer, our firm is here to help.

  • We can help make sure that you have access to medical care, and that your doctor is paid from the correct sources.
  • We can sort out insurance issues involving your motorcycle insurance, health insurance, homeowners' insurance, other motorists' insurance and/or insurance of any other involved party such as a property owner.
  • We will sort out any state claims you may have.
  • We are prepared to launch a thorough investigation designed to uncover the causes of the crash: road defects? Defective motorcycle parts and equipment? Driver error? Weather conditions?
