Common Injuries Resulting from Motorcycle Accidents 

Because motorcyclists do not have the same protections as occupants of passenger vehicles—such as seatbelts, airbags, and sturdy vehicle frames—they are much more likely to be injured or killed in traffic accidents. 

Some of the most common types of injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents include: 

• Broken bones 
• Burns, including friction burns, or “road rash”
• Head, neck, and back injuries 
• Spinal cord injuries 
• Traumatic brain injuries 
• Internal bleeding 
• Soft tissue injuries 
• Organ damage
• Whiplash 
• Facial injuries 
• “Crush” injuries and accidental amputation 

Such catastrophic injuries can have life-altering effects, leading to significant and permanent disability or impairment. In many cases, these injuries ultimately prove fatal.

While motorcyclists can take certain safety precautions to avoid serious injuries—such as wearing approved motorcycle helmets and heavy, protective clothing—they are still at risk any time they share the road with others. If you or your loved one has suffered a severe injury due to a motorcycle accident, seek immediate medical attention. Then, call the League City motorcycle accident attorneys at Goldenzweig Law Group, PLLC for help fighting for fair compensation.

How Do Motorcycle Accidents Happen? 

Most motorcycle accidents are the result of negligence, whether on the part of the motorcyclist or, more often, another driver on the road. 

This negligence can take many forms, such as: 

• Reckless or aggressive driving 
• Driving too fast for current conditions 
• Distracted driving, including texting while driving 
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Violating traffic laws 
• Failing to yield the right of way 
• Making dangerous turns and other unsafe driving maneuvers
• Abruptly changing lanes or stopping 
• Disobeying red lights, stop signs, and other traffic control devices
• Weaving in and out of lanes of traffic 
• Following too closely, or tailgating 

When motorists fail to follow the rules of the road, they put others at risk. If a negligent motorist causes an accident with a motorcyclist, leading to injury or death, the negligent motorist can and should be held accountable. 

What If the Accident Wasn’t Caused by a Negligent Motorist? 

When it comes to navigating potentially unsafe and hazardous roadways, motorcyclists are more at risk than drivers and passengers in cars, SUVs, pickups, and even large trucks. In some cases, roadway hazards or defectively designed or constructed roadways can lead to motorcycle accidents.

Some common causes of motorcycle accidents other than motorist negligence include: 

• Potholes 
• Cracked or uneven asphalt 
• Blind curves 
• Debris in the roadway
• Unsafe speed limits 
• Dangerous construction zones 
• Poor drainage and flooding
• Improper or missing signage 
• Fallen trees
• Unsafe shoulders 
• Oil spots
• Poorly painted lines 

Often, these types of hazards can be attributed to improper or inadequate roadway maintenance, as well as poor or defective road design. In such cases, injured motorcyclists could have claims against private or public agencies responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of public roads.

At Goldenzweig Law Group, PLLC, we evaluate all possible factors involved in your motorcycle crash. Our attorneys work with accident reconstruction specialists who know how to accurately identify what factors contributed to an accident and, most importantly, who is responsible. 

What Compensation Can Be Recovered in a Motorcycle Accident Case? 

The exact value of your claim depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical care, the amount of time you had to take off work to recover, and more. If you were partly at fault for the accident, this could also affect your recovery.

That being said, many motorcycle accident victims are able to recover compensation for certain losses, or “damages,” such as: 

• Emergency medical treatment 
• Hospitalization 
• Surgeries 
• Medication costs 
• Physical rehabilitation 
• Medical equipment and devices 
• Future medical care
• Lost income/wages
• Loss of earning ability due to disability or impairment
• Loss of future earnings 
• Physical and mental pain and suffering 
• Emotional distress and anguish
• Therapy to treat mental health conditions caused by the accident 
• In-home assistance and care 
• Home modifications 
• Disfigurement 
• Transportation to and from medical appointments
• Miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses associated with the accident 

Our motorcycle accident lawyers in League City, TX fight for maximum compensation for our clients. We understand the importance of securing a fair settlement or verdict on your behalf, which is why we aggressively negotiate with insurance companies. Whenever necessary, we are fully prepared to go to trial and represent your best interests in court. 

How Much Time Do You Have to File a Lawsuit? 

After a motorcycle accident, the Texas statute of limitations gives you two years to file a lawsuit for damages. If you fail to file suit within two years of the date of the accident, the court will most likely dismiss your claim. This means that you will not be allowed to seek compensation for your damages.

It is important that you act quickly and reach out to an experienced attorney right away. At Goldenzweig Law Group, PLLC, our team is ready to take your call 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff can answer any questions you may have and provide the information you need to move forward in the healing process. 

When you hire our firm, you do not pay any upfront or out-of-pocket costs. Because we offer our legal services on a contingency fee basis, we only collect attorney fees if and when we secure compensation for you. Our fees are paid via a percentage of your total settlement or jury verdict, and in the unlikely event that we do not recover compensation for you, you do not pay a dime.
