Sudden Stops of Other Cars Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Legal Representation for Victims Nationwide
Sudden stops often occur while motorcyclists drive along highways and neighborhood
streets. Yet, when they occur and an accident results, designating the
liability for damages can become challenging.
On some states' traffic law, a legal jury has the capacity find either
driver, both or neither vehicle operator liable during a sudden stop accident
involving motorcycles depending on the circumstances. In fact, many motorcycle
enthusiasts mistakenly believe if they rear-end another driver in the
state, they are considered at fault by the law automatically. This reflects
a clear misinterpretation of how personal injury laws in some states function
for a jury possess the discretion to attribute liability among all, one
or none of the riders involved in the accident.

Negligence in Texas
Texas is classified as a comparative negligence state, whereby to win a
suit against another motorcyclist for damages resulting from an automobile
accident, the plaintiff is required to secure a jury decision that the
other driver proved negligent in the ordeal. By law in Texas, the concept
of “negligence” is defined as: “the failure to act as
a person of reasonable prudence would have acted under the same or similar
circumstances.” Within a legal procedure, a question will be provided
to the jury asking them if they believe that the other motorcyclist’s
negligence served as the most significant factor in the automobile accident
in question. The jury must conclude that the other motorist was negligent
in order for you to receive any type of compensation.
Nature of Liability
In terms of liability, the state of Texas is not an “all-or-nothing”
domain. This means that more than one rider, including the victim, can
be found of being negligent in the accident in question. From a technical
legal viewpoint, the question of negligence is submitted frequently as:
“Did the negligence of any of the following persons proximately
cause the motor vehicle in question?” The response document subsequently
will feature a list of names that may or may not include the name of the
victim, other driver and any other drivers who may have participated in
the accident in some form but left the scene. Next to each name will appear
a blank space for the each jury member to write “yes” or “no”.
Should they determine that more than one person was negligent in precipitating
the accident, they will assign a percentage to each person to apportion
the given liability.
Texas law mandates that should the jury assign a percentage to you in excess
of 50 percent, you will be entitled to nothing in terms of compensation.
Should your percentage fall below 50 percent, you have the right to claim
strictly the percentage of the claim the other driver or drivers are responsible.
For example, should the jury decide that your negligence was 20 percent
of the fault behind the accident while the other’s was 80 percent
of the reason, and awards you $100,000.00, you would be entitled to receive
only $80,000.00 under the law because of your negligence.
Unavoidable Accident Arguments
By law in some states, an “unavoidable accident” is deemed
an event that transpires, though is not precipitated by the negligence
of a related party. For example, should a wild deer cross the road unexpectedly
and precipitate an accident, the “unavoidable accident” mandate
would likely be applied. Should the passenger in an automobile that strikes
the deer sue the driver of the car, the driver of the car will raise likely
the “unavoidable accident” argument. Should the jury in the
case find the argument compelling, then the passenger would be precluded
from making any type of claim of compensation from the motorcyclist.
