Motorcycle Accident Our attorneys can also assist you in communicating with the insurance company involved. Insurance adjusters frequently contact you after a collision to obtain an official statement from you. They may inquire about the accident and the nature of your injuries. Your injuries, on the other hand, may be more serious than you realize. If you don't know the entire depth of your injuries, you'll have no idea what kind of care you'll need to get back on your feet. You might expect your recuperation to take a few weeks, only to find out it will take months.

COMMON CAUSES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

When our Plano motorcycle accident lawyers analyze your case, we'll look into what caused the collision in the first place. This could lead to the identification of the negligent party, allowing us to bring you the justice you deserve.

While negligence is the most common cause of a bike incident, there are a few other possibilities. Let's take a look at some of the most typical causes of these mishaps.

Inexperienced drivers. On the road, motorcycles are far more difficult to see than cars. When making a turn or changing lanes, a rookie or novice driver may not be accustomed to searching for a tiny object. They may also be unable to effectively gauge how quickly a motorcycle is traveling or the distance between it and the car. At intersections, while the vehicle is making a left turn, one of the most prevalent sites for these types of accidents to occur is. They may look for oncoming traffic, but they're just anticipating automobiles. They may believe the lane is clear to turn if they don't see any cars, yet they clash with an oncoming motorbike. This scenario is also reversible. An accident can happen if a motorcyclist makes a left turn and the incoming car does not spot them.

Dangers of passing. When passing, motorcyclists may believe that the other drivers are staying aware and have experience driving around motorbikes. If the driver is not paying attention, they may speed up or maneuver their vehicle in such a way as to collide with the motorcycle rider.

Speeding, tailgating and aggressive drivers. Other drivers, unfortunately, may believe that motorcyclists should not be allowed to share the road with them. Aggressive driving, such as speeding, tailgating, or neglecting to cede the right-of-way to motorcyclists, could result. They can cause deadly motorcycle accidents when they assume they deserve the road more than bikers. It doesn't take much to throw a motorcycle rider off. An aggressive driver may hit the back of the motorcycle if they follow too closely. The rider may lose control and tumble as a result of this.

Road rage and reckless drivers. While an accident may not be caused by road rage or reckless driving can nonetheless cause a great deal of damage. Reckless drivers may operate a motor vehicle while distracted, such as when texting on their phone. When you're driving, multitasking isn't a good idea. Anything that draws the driver's attention away from the road or their hands away from the steering wheel is a safety hazard. This includes eating, drinking, changing the radio station, applying makeup, flossing, and “rubbernecking,” or staring out the window.

Even if the cause of your accident isn't listed above, contact the Law Office of Doug Goyen to speak with a Plano motorcycle accident lawyer. We'll perform a thorough investigation that includes reviewing accident reports, consulting with specialists, consulting your medical records to determine the sorts of injuries you sustained, and gathering other relevant information to determine who is at fault and how they acted negligently. Then we can begin fighting for you to get the money you deserve.

PERSONAL INJURIES RESULTING FROM MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Because motorcycle riders have substantially less protection than people in cars or trucks, motorcycle accidents frequently result in serious injuries. Motorcyclists, unlike passengers in cars, do not have the protection of the autobody to absorb shock and lessen the amount of impact. A rider's most valuable possession is the gear they're wearing at the time. They'll be wearing a helmet and thick, long-sleeved gear at the very least. Even these elements, however, do not guarantee safety. The biker will almost certainly fall off the bike, and the impact on the ground can cause serious injury.

Motorcycle accidents can result in the following injuries:

Paralysis. A spinal cord injury is a possibility for a biker. The injury could result in paralysis if the impact is strong enough. The type of paralysis is determined by the location of the injury. Tetraplegia affects the arms, chest, and legs, while paraplegia affects only the legs.

Loss of limb. A catastrophic motorcycle accident can either cut a limb or cause it to be damaged beyond repair, forcing physicians to amputate it.

Burn injuries. Road rash, a sort of burn damage, is a danger for motorcycle riders. Friction between the skin and the ground might create burns if they come into touch with it. Because the severity of burns can vary, these are harmful. Severe burns can penetrate the layers of skin and reach the muscle and bone. There could be permanent nerve damage, preventing feeling in that area or the wounded site's function.

Traumatic Brain Injuries. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when anything breaches the skull or affects the brain in any way. These can wreak havoc on the brain's functioning, affecting cognition and mobility.

Fractures. If you're thrown off your motorcycle, you could shatter a bone if you land on a limb. Broken arms and legs are painful injuries that will almost certainly require a cast for a period of time.

Lacerations, scrapes, and bruises are all common injuries. After a collision, falling and hitting the ground might result in serious cuts, scratches, and bruises. Even if the rider is wearing protective clothing, the fabric can tear or rip, exposing the rider's skin to the elements. Road debris, such as gravel and mud, can enter into these cuts and scratches. These wounds could become infected if they aren't cleaned and dressed appropriately.

Injuries to the soft tissues. Sprains and strains aren't always fatal, but they might be difficult to spot. There may be no apparent signs that something is wrong with these injuries. If symptoms do not appear for a few days, you may not realize you have been injured until you experience discomfort that signals something is wrong.

Wrongful Death. Motorcycle accidents can be fatal to riders due to the trauma of the impact. Texas allows families statutory compensation if someone is killed due to the negligence of another.

While the motorcyclist's injuries may heal over time, they will almost certainly need to consult a doctor, adhere to a treatment plan, and attend follow-up appointments. A person with a broken bone may experience limited movement and may be unable to work for a period of time.

One of the most serious worries could be missed work. Sick time is provided by most employers, but it may not be sufficient to satisfy the person's needs until they are ready to return to work. This might be stressful since the person may want to go back to work but is unable to do so.

Motorcycle accidents can cause mental anguish. The biker may be having trouble reliving the event, feeling afraid and nervous when they think about what happened, and figuring out how they'll get through it. Professional assistance may be required, and the cost of such care can be prohibitive.

You are entitled to justice regardless of the type of injuries you sustain if you were not at fault. You are entitled to compensation to assist you with your medical, physical, and psychological expenses.

Doug is a great attorney. He took care of my auto accident claim promptly, and answered any questions I had. I also had one of my hospital bills go into collections for non-payment. I was able to contact Doug a year after the accident, and received a copy of the check the hospital claimed they didn’t receive. I highly recommend this guy. David J.

Mr. Goyen helped me take on my own insurance company, the great and mighty Allstate. My prior firm basically dumped me, with a permanent injury because the case didn’t meet their financial guidelines for a settlement. I was a bicycle rider hit by a car driver at an intersection, and Allstate was the company on BOTH SIDES OF THE CLAIM. My own insurance company tried to throw me under the bus to limit their payout! Without Mr. Goyen’s help, I would have been left with NOTHING! I had thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills, unable to receive treatment to correct the issue. He was unafraid and helped me get the best settlement I could … I am tremendously thankful! Pamala M.
