Why Motorcycle Accidents Happen in Texas
Texas has long roads and warm weather, making it a popular place to ride motorcycles. But with more motorcycles on the road, the chances of an accident go up. Many crashes happen because drivers in cars do not see the motorcycle. Sometimes drivers turn in front of a motorcycle or pull out without checking the road. Other times, they are speeding, distracted, or even driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. All of these actions are dangerous and can lead to serious accidents. Motorcycles do not have the same safety features as cars. There are no seat belts or airbags. Riders are exposed, and when they get hit, they often suffer more serious injuries. That is why crashes involving motorcycles are often worse than car accidents.What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash
The moments after a crash are scary and confusing. If you are hurt, the first thing to do is get medical help. Even if you feel okay, it is smart to see a doctor. Some injuries do not show up right away. Getting medical care creates a record of your injury, and that can help later if you need to make a claim. If it is safe, try to take pictures of the scene. Get photos of the motorcycle, the other vehicles, the road, and any injuries. This can be helpful when trying to show what happened. If there are witnesses, ask for their names and contact information. Their stories could back up your side of the story. You should also call the police. A police report is an important piece of evidence. The report tells what happened, who was involved, and what the officer saw. Insurance companies often use the police report to decide who was at fault.The Zendeh Del & Associates, PLLC Team
Why Fault Matters in Texas Motorcycle Accidents
Texas uses a system called “comparative fault.” That means more than one person can be blamed for a crash. If you were less than 51% at fault, you can still get money for your injuries. But the amount you get will be reduced by your share of the blame. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages were $10,000, you would only get $8,000. Insurance companies may try to put the blame on the motorcycle rider. They may say the rider was speeding or weaving through traffic. That is why it is so important to gather evidence, talk to witnesses, and protect your side of the story. Do not admit blame at the scene, even if you are feeling confused or upset.Common Injuries After Motorcycle Crashes
Motorcycle crashes can cause life-changing injuries. Some of the most common injuries include broken bones, road rash, head injuries, and damage to the spine. Some people may suffer brain injuries or even lose limbs. These kinds of injuries often need surgery, rehab, and long-term care. The cost of treatment can be high, and you may not be able to work while healing. Pain from the crash may last long after the accident is over. Some riders feel scared to get back on a motorcycle again. Others may struggle with depression or post-traumatic stress. These are real effects, and they should be taken seriously. If someone else caused the crash, they should be held responsible for all the harm done — not just the damage to the bike, but also to your body, your mind, and your life.Client

These guys are amazing. They made a most horrific experience bearable. They treated me with respect and no judgment. I cannot describe how grateful I am for their representation with my case. 5 stars is not enough. I hope I never need them again but would ABSOLUTELY use them again and definitely recommend them.
