Motorcyclists face a level of risk on the road that drivers in passenger vehicles simply do not. Without the protection of a steel frame, even a relatively minor collision can leave a rider with catastrophic injuries. When that collision is caused by someone else’s negligence, the rider deserves full compensation for what they have lost.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Corpus Christi, The Doan Law Firm can help you pursue the compensation you are owed. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation with a Corpus Christi motorcycle accident attorney.
Motorcycle accident claims come with a built-in obstacle that car accident claims do not. Insurers are often biased against riders and assume a motorcyclist was partially responsible for their own accident before ever looking at the facts. Overcoming that bias requires a Corpus Christi motor vehicle collision attorney who knows how to prove what really happened.

Extensive medical, insurance and legal issues can arise. The issues become intertwined which makes them confusing. Medical issues include follow-up doctor visits, rehabilitation fees, prescriptions, and on-going injuries. The associated expenses go beyond the initial medical treatment costs.
Many motorcycle riders are underinsured. The coverage should cover more than replacing or repairing the motorcycle. Medical expenses and loss of wages are concerns when the motorcyclist is unable to work.
Accident victims are sometimes reluctant to hire a lawyer to submit a claim because of possible legal fees. Most lay people have no knowledge regarding proper submission of an insurance claim that will guarantee the full benefits. Place legal issues in the hands of an expert. A reduction in stress and a more favorable outcome are likely.
The Doan Law Firm attorneys provide insight into relevant claims. Motorcycle accidents have left some victims permanently injured and unable to work. The trauma of an accident sometimes causes victims to be unable to maintain relationships with family and friends.
Inexperienced laypeople may not know they have the right to file claims for such a loss. Compensation for relationship or experience deprivations must be sought properly to receive it.
The Doan Law Firm lawyers personalize your claim. Insurance companies process thousands of claims each year. Chances of receiving a favorable outcome increase when a claim demonstrates the victim is a unique individual having a set of unique circumstances.
Most motorcycle accidents are not caused by the motorcyclist. They are caused by other drivers who fail to see, yield to, or safely share the road with riders.
There are a number of reasons that motorcycle accidents occur. Passenger vehicles weigh approximately 3000 pounds. Popular brands of motorcycles range in weight from 250 to 910 pounds. Motorcycles traveling at high speeds are difficult to maneuver. The slightest error can make the motorcycle flip over. The difference in size allows a motorcycle driver to slip easily into the blind spot of a car.
Other common causes of motorcycle crashes include:
The most dangerous situation occurs when cars make left turns. Forty-two percent of motorcycle accidents involve a car making a left turn. The collisions happen as motorcyclists go through intersections, try to pass cars, or attempt to overtake cars. The size of the motorcycle makes it less visible to a turning car.
Under normal circumstances, the driver making the turn is considered to be at fault. If, however, a motorcyclist is in the wrong lane or speeding, he or she may be partially at fault. That means the motorcyclist receives less compensation for damages and injuries as a result of the accident. The proximity of the car to the motorcycle, reduced space to maneuver a motorcycle, and not anticipating a pass in slow or stopped traffic are also factors considered.
Because motorcycles are smaller and less visible than passenger vehicles, many accidents come down to a driver not seeing the rider in time. That means most motorcycle accidents are preventable.
Without the protective shell of a passenger vehicle, motorcyclists tend to suffer more severe injuries than occupants involved in comparable car accidents. Common injuries include:
If you suffered these or other injuries, a personal injury claim can help you recover money for medical treatment and other needs.
Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries that can leave victims facing extensive medical treatment, lost income, and long-term physical limitations. If another party’s negligence caused the crash, you may be entitled to recover compensation for both your financial losses and the impact the injuries have had on your life.
Potential damages may include:
If the accident resulted in the death of a loved one, surviving family members may also be entitled to pursue wrongful death damages for their losses.
