Understanding Motorcycle Accident Cases
Common Causes
- Drivers failing to check blind spots before changing lanes
- Left turning vehicles cutting off oncoming motorcycles
- Drivers opening car doors into motorcycle traffic
- Hazardous road conditions such as potholes and gravel
- Rear ending a motorcycle at intersections
- Drivers running red lights or stop signs at intersections
Typical Injuries
- Road rash and severe skin abrasions
- Broken legs, ankles, and wrists
- Traumatic brain injuries even with helmet use
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Facial fractures and dental injuries
- Internal organ damage from blunt force impact
Establishing Liability
Motorcycle accident liability often centers on the other driver failing to see the rider or misjudging the motorcycle speed. Accident reconstruction experts can analyze skid marks, point of impact, and vehicle damage to determine fault. Insurance companies frequently try to blame the motorcyclist, making it essential to preserve evidence quickly and counter any bias against riders.
Relevant Texas Law
Texas Transportation Code Section 545.420 grants motorcyclists the same rights and responsibilities as other vehicle operators on the roadway. Texas does not require adult riders over 21 to wear helmets if they have completed a safety course or carry qualifying insurance, but helmet use can become a factor in damages arguments. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001, the proportionate responsibility framework applies to motorcycle cases just as it does to other motor vehicle accidents.
