Here are some questions and answers that we encounter on motorcycle accidents:

Q. What should I do after a motorcycle accident?

A. If possible, it’s essential to collect insurance information from the other driver(s). Also, collecting any personal information from bystanders or witnesses at the accident is helpful. Once you’ve seen a medical specialist for your injuries, the next step is to speak to a motorcycle accident attorney. The quicker you get representation, the easier your insurance claim will move ahead.

Q. How many motorcycle crashes occur around Brownsville, Texas, every year?
A. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, on average, a motorcyclist is killed in a Texas road crash every day. That’s up to 365 motorcycle deaths per year. Motorcyclists account for 12% of all traffic fatalities statewide. Even the most careful motorcyclist can get into an accident. As experienced motorcycle accident attorneys, we’ve seen all types of crashes. Distracted drivers, T-bones, and quick turns in front of a motorcyclist are regular occurrences and entirely out of the bike riders’ control.

Q. Who’s responsible if I get in a motorcycle wreck?
A. Although there are common types of motorcycle accidents in Texas, each has a unique set of circumstances. Responsibility can vary depending on several factors, including; speeding, blind spots, and driver error. It’s also important to remember an accident on Interstate 69E can look different from a motorcycle crash on a Brownsville street intersection. Don’t assume you are at fault. Let our legal team examine crash details and evaluate fair compensation with the insurance company.

Q. Must motorcycle residents have insurance in Texas?
A. If a motorcyclist has hit you, it’s essential to know they are required to carry insurance in the state of Texas. A motorcycle accident attorney can help move the process along quickly. Depending on the circumstances, it can take 30 days to a year to settle an insurance claim. Alternatively, if you are the motorcyclist and not at fault, the insurance of the driver who hit you (a car, a truck, etc.) would be exposed to liability. Motorcycle accident claims are complicated, so be sure to reach out to an attorney to discuss the facts and law of your unique incident.
