What Is a Motorcycle Accident Attorney?

Understanding Rider Rights and Challenges

The León Law Firm knows how to handle tough vehicle accident cases involving motorcycle crashes. Motorcycle accident attorneys focus on the unique challenges riders face after crashes and fight against unfair bias. These cases differ from car crashes because riders have less protection and often suffer more severe injuries. Insurance companies and juries may unfairly blame riders, even when other drivers cause crashes. Our lawyers fully understand these challenging cases.

Our Motorcycle Accident Legal Services

The León Law Firm provides comprehensive legal services for motorcycle riders hurt in crashes:

Car vs. Motorcycle Crash Claims

Most motorcycle accidents happen when car drivers fail to see riders or misjudge their speed. Common crashes include cars turning left in front of motorcycles, cars changing lanes into riders, and rear-end collisions when cars follow too closely. These accidents often cause serious injuries because riders lack protection like car drivers have. We prove that car drivers caused these crashes and fight against unfair blame towards motorcycle riders.

Road Hazard and Defect Cases

Motorcycle riders are more likely to crash due to poor road conditions that wouldn’t affect cars. This includes potholes, loose gravel, wet leaves, construction debris, and poorly marked construction zones. Cities and contractors must keep roads safe for all vehicles, including motorcycles. We investigate whether road maintenance was proper and if warning signs were adequate. We hold government agencies and contractors accountable for dangerous road conditions.

Motorcycle Defect and Equipment Failure Claims

Sometimes motorcycle accidents happen because of defects in the bike itself or safety equipment that doesn’t work properly. This includes brake failures, tire defects, handlebar problems, and helmet failures. We work with motorcycle experts to identify defects and prove they caused or worsened your accident. We may sue motorcycle manufacturers, parts companies, or helmet makers when their products fail to protect riders.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents

Our skilled legal team answers common questions about motorcycle accident cases:

Understanding Motorcycle Crashes

What are the most common causes of motorcycle accidents?

The most common cause is car drivers who don’t see motorcycles or misjudge their speed. About 75% of motorcycle accidents involve another vehicle. Common crash types include cars turning left in front of motorcycles, cars changing lanes into riders, and intersection crashes. Road hazards like potholes and gravel also cause many single-vehicle motorcycle crashes.

What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident?

Get medical help right away, even if you think you’re not badly hurt. Motorcycle crashes often cause serious injuries that may not show symptoms immediately. Call the police and make sure they write a report. Take photos of both vehicles, the crash scene, road conditions, and your injuries if you can. Don’t admit fault or talk to the other driver’s insurance without a lawyer.

Why do insurance companies often blame motorcycle riders?

Insurance companies and even police sometimes have an unfair bias against motorcycle riders. They may assume riders were speeding, reckless, or showing off. This bias exists even when evidence shows the other driver caused the crash. We fight against these unfair assumptions and use evidence to prove what really happened.

Legal Process and Challenges

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a motorcycle accident?

In Texas, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. But you should contact a lawyer right away because important evidence can be lost quickly. Skid marks fade, witnesses move away, and insurance companies start building their defense immediately. The sooner we start working on your case, the better evidence we can gather.

What evidence is important in motorcycle accident cases?

Important evidence includes the police report, photos of the crash scene and vehicles, witness statements, medical records, and expert accident reconstruction. We also examine traffic camera footage, cell phone records of other drivers, and road maintenance records. Physical evidence, like bike damage patterns, can help prove how the crash happened.

What if the other driver says they didn't see me?

I didn’t see the motorcycle” is a common excuse, but it’s not a legal defense. All drivers must look out for motorcycles and other vehicles. We prove that the other driver failed to yield, didn’t check blind spots, or was distracted. Just because motorcycles are smaller doesn’t mean other drivers can ignore their duty to drive safely.

How do you prove the other driver was at fault?

We use accident reconstruction experts, witness testimony, police reports, and physical evidence to prove fault. We analyze factors like point of impact, vehicle damage, skid marks, and traffic violations. We also check if the other driver was texting, drinking, or breaking other traffic laws. Our goal is to show exactly how the other driver’s actions caused your crash.

Types of Injuries and Compensation

What types of injuries do motorcycle accidents often cause?

Motorcycle crashes often cause serious injuries because riders have no protection around them. Common injuries include broken bones, road rash, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, internal injuries, and leg and arm injuries. Even riders who wear helmets and protective gear can suffer serious injuries. Many riders need surgery, long-term care, and are unable to return to work.

How much compensation can I get for my motorcycle accident case?

The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical costs, lost wages, bike damage, and pain and suffering. Motorcycle accident cases can result in significant settlements because injuries are often serious. We fight for full compensation for all your losses, including future medical care, lost earning capacity, and the cost of replacing your motorcycle and gear.

Does wearing a helmet affect my case?

Texas doesn’t require all riders to wear helmets, but insurance companies may try to reduce your settlement if you weren’t wearing one. However, not wearing a helmet doesn’t mean you can’t recover compensation if another driver caused your crash. We argue that helmet use doesn’t change who caused the accident, and we fight to get you full compensation regardless of helmet use.
