Riding a bike gives the rider tremendous freedom. But that freedom also makes it dangerous. Unlike the occupants of a car, motorcyclists do not have a frame to protect them from the impact. They don’t have seat belts, airbags or other safety features now common in cars. Although motorcyclists might wear helmets or protective clothing, those precautions may do little to protect them from injuries.
By taking reasonable steps to share the road, motorcyclists can ensure they are prepared to take off. It is easier to enjoy a ride when everyone knows it is safe. Regrettably, a motorcyclist is 25 times more likely to be killed in an accident than as a car occupant. In 2017 alone, Texas had more than 500 fatalities involving motorcycles.

You must discuss your injury with a Waco motorcycle accident lawyer. Determining fault will be a critical element to analyze. A skilled personal injury attorney must conduct that analysis. The damage may last the rest of your life. But you will only be paid for it once. That is why you must have your situation reviewed by a motorcycle accident attorney. Determining liability will include an analysis of other motorists and the manufacturer of defective equipment. There also could be other parties who played a role in causing the accident, as a construction crew.
You can still get compensated for your injuries, losses, and suffering. Essentially, if you are 50% or less at fault for a wreck, you may still get compensation. You may need a talented personal injury lawyer to determine fault.
