San Antonio Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Our firm is here to represent you
Motorcyclists are far more exposed to injury than people traveling in a car. They have little physical protection in a crash and are often simply not seen by inattentive drivers — and, too often, blame is unfairly placed on the rider. We have handled hundreds of motorcycle accident cases and know how to deal with parties trying to dodge liability and insurers trying to avoid a payout.
If you or a loved one has been in a motorcycle wreck, contact a qualified attorney as soon as you can. We will advise you on what to do — and what not to do — to protect your claim, and we will guide you every step of the way. Call our office to schedule a free consultation.
Motorcycle crash statistics
Motorcyclists are several times more likely than car occupants to be injured in a crash and dramatically more likely to suffer fatal injuries. National data shows most motorcyclist fatalities occur on urban roads, in good weather, and often in crashes involving a second vehicle. A helmet is not guaranteed to prevent injury, but it significantly improves the odds of survival — so wear one.
Who can be at fault?
Drivers of cars cause many motorcycle accidents. Common causes include:
- Failing to see the motorcycle
- Following a motorcycle too closely
- Sudden, unsafe lane changes in front of a rider
- Speeding
Fault is not always with another driver. A defective part or faulty assembly can make a manufacturer liable, and dangerous road conditions — potholes, worn shoulders, uneven lanes, or unsafe speed limits — can put a government agency at fault.
Common injuries
Motorcycle crashes can cause amputations, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, burns, paralysis, and nerve damage. The road to recovery is long and expensive, which is exactly why an experienced injury attorney matters.
Compensation for your claim
In Texas, compensation varies with each case but generally covers past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, mental trauma, property damage, and the effects of permanent disability. Putting a fair value on these losses is difficult, and you deserve skilled advocates arguing on your behalf.
