Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles provide an economical way to get from place to place. They also offer an inimitable view and sense of freedom. For these reasons, many people in South Texas use motorcycles as a primary means of transportation.

Riding a motorcycle can be rewarding, but it can also be extremely dangerous. Without the protection offered by other motor vehicles, a biker faces a much higher risk of sustaining catastrophic injuries when involved in an accident.

In the state of Texas, you are required to wear a helmet while operating a motorcycle unless you have successfully completed a motorcycle training and safety course. Even if you are wearing a helmet or have completed a safety course, the road is filled with potential dangers.

The McAllen personal injury attorneys at Guerra & Moore have seen how debilitating motorcycle accidents can be. We are devoted to helping bikers injured through the negligence of other's get the compensation they will need to get back on the road.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 75% of all motorcycle accidents are caused by the drivers of other vehicles. Other causes may include:

1. Equipment failure
2. Faulty tires
3. Poorly maintained roads
4. Poor weather conditions

While any of these things can lead to an accident, crashes involving other vehicles produce the greatest risk for serious injury and even death.

When you are involved in a motorcycle accident, there is very little to protect you from numerous impacts. The injuries most commonly sustained in these accidents include:

1. Broken bones
2. Head and neck injuries
3. Brain injuries
4. Spinal cord injuries
5. Paralysis
6. Amputations
7. Burns
8. Disfigurement
9. Death

These serious injuries can cause financial, physical, and emotional suffering for which you are entitled to compensation.
