A motorcycle ride is an exhilarating experience because of the open-air, two-wheeled design. Unfortunately, this also leaves riders vulnerable to severe injuries in an accident, especially those caused by a driver of a full-sized vehicle weighing an average of 4,000 pounds. Even worse, insurance companies commonly hold biases against injured motorcyclists and may protect their profits at the injury victim’s expense. Instead of leaving your case in the insurer’s hands, call a Bryan motorcycle accident lawyer at The Doan Law Firm for experienced legal representation throughout the process of your compensation claim.
Bryan motorcycle accidents represent legal problems that are complex in nature. To unravel the complexities needed to obtain a favorable verdict and outcome, you’ll need a motorcycle accident injury lawyer working for you. The Bryan motor vehicle collision lawyer must have the training and experience in this sort of litigation. The attorney must be knowledgeable in all aspects of the law about motorcycles.
A good lawyer foresees and proactively defends against complications that arise.
If you or someone you love has injuries due to a Bryan motorcycle accident, the Doan Law Firm motorcycle personal injury lawyers provide resources, experience, and compassion needed to pursue rightful compensation.
The initial consultation is free. All pressing questions receive answers, but you are under no pressure or obligation. Merits of the case and the best path forward are part of the consultation.
If you wish our firm to represent you, we accept the case on a contingency basis. A contingency based case means no charges for legal fees either upfront or during the proceedings occur. We earn our fee by obtaining a successful motorcycle accident claim. We receive a small percentage of the awarded settlement we won on your behalf. If we fail to produce a favorable outcome on your motorcycle accident claim, you owe us nothing.
In a collision between a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle, there is little chance that the motorcycle driver walks away without serious injury due to the difference in size of the vehicles.
Many times the motorcyclists are considered guilty until proven innocent by insurance companies and other parties who have a stake in the case.

If the victim is a motorcyclist, an uphill battle ensues. That is where Doan Law Firm attorneys are of assistance. The client focuses on recovery while the attorneys focus on building a case. Hire an experienced personal injury lawyer that aggressively represents your rights.

There are many factors to consider in motorcycle accidents such as defective lighting, brakes, and tires. The sooner our team can get to the scene, to assess the situation and evidence, the better the preservation of the evidence and the easier it becomes to defend your rights. This list outlines common reasons motorcycle accidents occur.
Dooring accidents are on the increase. The accidents occur when a motorcycle rider attempts to get around a stalled or slow lane of traffic. The biker rides between parked or barely moving vehicles. A motorcyclist is in danger from an individual attempting to exit a parked car by opening a door that impedes the path of the motorcycle.
Another common cause of motorcycle accidents is the improper use of brakes by the biker. Grabbing too much front brake causes the motorcyclist to tumble over the handlebars.
Lane splitting is a danger that puts a biker at risk. Lane splitting entails a motorcyclist traveling between lanes of traffic headed in the same direction. As a motorcyclist attempts riding in-between traffic to expedite a trip, he or she is in danger of a motorist’s failure to see the
motorcycle as an attempt to change lanes or veer occurs. The motorcycle ends up side-swiped.
Under the law of contributory fault in Texas, even if a motorcyclist is partly responsible for their accident, they may still recover a portion of their compensation as long as they are less than 50% at fault, but the insurance company subtracts the motorcyclist’s percentage of fault from the payout on their claim.
Minimizing the number of distracted drivers is a goal of the Doan Law Firm. The firm aggressively litigates cases to hold negligent drivers accountable for inattentive or careless driving.
Texas passed legislation in 2009 that states a motorcycle passenger has to be at least five years of age. Helmets are a requirement for passengers and drivers under the age of 21. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), DOT-approved helmets are 37% effective in preventing motorcyclist fatalities in crashes; however, a helmet doesn’t prevent all injuries. Motorcycle riders suffer direct contact with the road, obstacles, and moving vehicles in crashes. Common injuries in motorcycle accidents in Bryan include the following:
In the worst cases, a motorcycle accident in Bryan can result in the wrongful death of the accident victim.
Motorcycle accident injuries quickly become costly, as well as painful and potentially debilitating. While no legal action erases the injury, it does address the economic damages caused by the injury by recovering compensation for damages such as the following:
Wrongful death is the worst outcome of a Bryan motorcycle accident. A wrongful death attorney from The Doan Law Firm can help.
In Texas, the injury victim has the right to recover compensation for injury-related losses, but first they must prove the at-fault party’s liability by a preponderance of evidence. The evidence presented must demonstrate the following:
It often takes an experienced investigation and strong evidence of the at-fault party’s liability, as well as careful calculations of the injury victim’s damages, to recover full and fair compensation for losses.
Victims are not always cognizant of the full extent of injuries. They neglect to think about losses presently incurred and those of the future. Texas has strict statutes of limitations. For that reason, it is imperative to have specialized legal counsel working for you as quickly as possible.
