Why Hire a Motorcycle Accident Attorney to Help Your Case?

The leading cause of motorcycle deaths is head injuries. Less severe, but frequent injuries resulting from a motorcycle collision are skin abrasions. Motorcycle riders often use their legs and arms to soften a fall and avoid injury. The impact often causes leg and wrist injuries.

If the magnitude of the collision or the injuries endured is significant, psychological trauma sometimes requires treatment. PTSD is a disorder that stems from terrifying or intense emotional experiences. Emotional numbness, insomnia, and flashbacks occur.

The interaction between legal, insurance, and medical issues makes it imperative to act appropriately. A personal injury lawyer often requests notification before each medical appointment. Motorcycle victims sometimes act as if injuries are not as severe as they truly are to avoid appearing weak. The victim pretends to be unaffected when they are experiencing pain.

The Doan Law Firm outlines the medical issues that arise from a motorcycle accident, so the medical care received is quick and without confusion. Statistics show motorcycle drivers are 16 times more likely to suffer death and injuries are three times more likely than for drivers of traditional vehicles. Motorcycle riders are subject to significantly more exposure than automobile occupants, making them more vulnerable to injury.

Making light of pain causes more trouble than one expects. A misdiagnosis causes a patient to receive the wrong treatment, medication, or therapy necessary to recuperate. Lies cause insurance problems also. Reports of minimized pain sometimes result in the cessation of payment for treatment. The physician’s records are evidence the patient feels healthy.

The Doan Law Firm understands the practical problems, and the legal and insurance issues associated with a Waco motorcycle accident. Our goal is to protect the interest of our clients and get the fullest and fairest compensation for them. Our Waco personal injury lawyer is prepared to go to court if necessary to protect your interests.

Why Do Motorcycle Accidents Happen in Texas?

The overwhelming majority of motorcycle accidents are preventable — and not the fault of riders. Most are connected to the negligence of motor vehicle drivers. 

The most common causes of motorcycle accidents include: 

  • Changing lanes without checking blind spots
  • Vehicles turning left across an intersection 
  • Drivers distracted by phones, navigation systems, or other in-car technology
  • Tailgating a motorcycle too closely 
  • Impaired driving involving alcohol or drugs
  • Excessive speed
  • Degraded roadways
  • Heavy interstate traffic 

Drivers frequently report that they simply did not see the motorcycle before the crash. But that does not excuse a driver from the duty to look carefully before turning, merging, or changing lanes.

What Injuries Do Motorcycle Accidents Cause for Riders?

 A rider has no crumple zone, no airbag, and no frame absorbing the force of a collision on their behalf. Riders often suffer injuries that take months or years to recover from, if they ever fully do.

The most typical injuries include: 

  • Head trauma, regardless of helmet use
  • Spinal injuries
  • Extensive road rash/skin abrasions 
  • Broken bones
  • Internal bleeding
  • Loss of a limb 

Recovery from these injuries can be challenging, requiring extensive financial commitments and ongoing rehabilitation. A motorcycle accident claim provides the best path for seeking compensation for these and other losses. 

What Damages Can Be Awarded in Motorcycle Accident Claims?

A serious motorcycle crash can create financial, physical, and emotional burdens that can alter a life. 

Through a personal injury case, injured riders may be entitled to recover compensation for:

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Ongoing rehabilitation
  • Income lost while recovering from injuries
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Damage to the motorcycle and riding equipment
  • Physical pain
  • Mental anguish/emotional trauma
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Inability to participate in activities once enjoyed
  • Permanent scarring
