Left Turn Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Austin, Texas

Left turn accidents are among the most devastating types of motorcycle crashes. These collisions occur when a driver making a left turn fails to see an oncoming motorcyclist and pulls directly into their path. The motorcyclist is left with almost no time to react, and the impact is often severe. In Austin and across Texas, these preventable crashes account for a significant portion of all motorcycle accident injuries and fatalities.

Texas law requires all drivers to yield the right of way to oncoming traffic before making a left turn. When a driver violates this duty and strikes a motorcyclist, that driver bears full responsibility for the harm caused. Under Texas Transportation Code Section 545.152, failing to yield during a left turn is a traffic violation that establishes clear evidence of negligence in a personal injury claim.

Many drivers claim they "did not see" the motorcycle before turning. This excuse does not relieve them of liability. Every driver has a legal obligation to keep a proper lookout and verify that the road is clear before executing a turn. Insurance companies may try to shift blame onto the rider, but our firm knows how to dismantle those arguments and hold the at fault driver accountable.
