Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents

Drivers always need to remain attentive on the road – and they need to be especially wary of motorcycles around them. However, drivers sometimes make errors that cause serious accidents, such as:

  • Distracted driving, including texting while driving
  • Drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs
  • Failure to signal before turning, merging or changing lanes
  • Speeding
  • Failure to check blind spots and mirrors

Texas is a comparative fault state, which means that each injured party can collect compensation according to their share of liability. Therefore, securing evidence of another driver’s negligence can increase the value of your claim.

This is where the experienced Austin motorcycle accident lawyers at Batrice Law Firm can help. Our founding lawyer, Paul Batrice, knows how to identify and present evidence of negligence in motorcycle accident cases. We will work hard to maximize your claim and obtain every dollar possible for your recovery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Motorcycle crashes are very different from a passenger car crash.

Your case value is based on many factors including: severity of the crash; severity of the injuries; amount of the medical bills; licensing of the drivers; influence of drugs, alcohol or fatigue; whether texting or distracted driving was involved; and, the amount of the insurance polic(ies).

Motorcycles don’t offer the same protections that passenger cars offer. As such, the potential for severe injuries is high. Many of our motorcycle crash victims suffer from neck, shoulder, arm, wrist, hand, back, hip,leg and foot fractures and soft tissue injury. That said, hidden injuries like brain injury and post crash mental trauma can be more devastating, yet harder to recognize, diagnose and to prove.

Some vary but the industry standard is 1/3 up to 50% of the gross total recovery depending on whether a lawsuit or trial is involved. The goal of a good PI atty is to cover all the clients’ bills and attorneys fees, and still put money in their pocket.

Motorcyclists are 16 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash and about four times as likely to be injured. While only 20 percent of car crashes result in injury or death, that figure jumps to an astounding 80 percent for motorcycle crashes.
