Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Have You Been Hurt in a Motorcycle Accident? Our Personal Injury Attorneys Can Discuss Your Case With You for Free

Injuries from motorcycle accidents can run the gamut from minor to severe. Unfortunately, more often than not, the lack of safety features on a motorcycle often results in serious to severe injury, if not death. While certain steps can be taken in order to mitigate the opportunity for an injury motorcycle accident to occur, such as wearing a motorcycle helmet, motorcycle accidents can still result in drastic injuries that can severely affect a victim for the rest of their lives.

Minor motorcycle injuries often include bruises, lacerations, or road rash. Such injuries often do not require medical attention. Consequently, legal action is often not necessary following accidents resulting in mild injuries since no damages (financial losses) have been incurred. However, road rash, if left untreated, may develop into an infection that could rapidly deteriorate the health of a victim. If a motorcyclist has persistent road rash, it’s recommended that he or she seek proper medical attention in order to mitigate their damages. This legal phrase means that an injured person must, within a reasonable amount of time following an injury accident, seek out medical attention so that their initial injury, e.g. road rash, does not develop into something much more dangerous, e.g. an infection. If an injured victim fails to mitigate their damages, the liable party will not be held accountable for the full extent of the further injury.

More serious motorcycle accident injuries include bone fractures and broken bones. Since motorcycle riders and passengers are forcefully thrown to the ground or into another vehicle in most motorcycle wrecks, the opportunity for bones to break or crack is often high. Suffering a broken leg or a broken arm can result in medical bills and lost wages due to being unable to work. These financial losses, as well as others, are known as damages in the legal realm. Such an injured motorcyclist or victim of a motorcycle accident may seek compensation for their incurred damages through a Texas personal injury lawsuit.

Severe motorcycle accident injuries include traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, disfigurement, and head injuries. These specific types of injuries can result in the victim requiring medical care for the duration of their lives. With round-the-clock medical care comes astronomical medical costs, as well as physical pain and suffering and likely emotional turmoil. Compensation for such costs can be sought through a personal injury lawsuit.

Burn injuries and injuries requiring amputation can also result in the need for extensive medical attention. These types of injuries often result in a victim experiencing extreme emotional duress in having to come to terms with the results of a severe motorcycle accident. Such pain and suffering is a type of damages that can be sought through a personal injury lawsuit in Texas. Disfigurement and scarring often occur in severe motorcycle wrecks and can lead to further emotional and mental trauma.

$350,000.00 Recovery - Wrongful Death / First Party Dram Shop
Our firm was hired by the minor child and parents of a young man who was killed in a motorcycle accident after being over served alcohol at a South Padre Island bar. The plaintiffs hired our firm to investigate the claim on the basis that the decedent was over the legal limit at the time of his death. In initial attempts to settle the case out of court, the defendants denied liability. Suit was filed soon thereafter.

The defendants initially argued that the decedent never consumed alcohol on their premises. Through physical evidence and deposition testimony to the contrary, we were able to conclusively prove that the decedent had indeed been drinking at the establishment.

The defendants then asserted allegations that the decedent's minor child was not actually his biological child, which would bar his claim entirely. A DNA test was performed and this argument was defeated.

The defendants then asserted the safe harbor defense. Our attorneys argued that the defendants did not qualify for safe harbor protection due to the fact that their servers were not all licensed providers. However, while this element was being addressed, our attorneys focused their attention on addressing the second element of the safe harbor defense regarding the bar's encouragement of the over service of alcohol. The defendants claimed that they would never serve the double-shot Bacardi cocktails that witnesses claimed the decedent drank several of. We sent private investigators into the bar to order the same drinks that the decedent consumed on the night of his death and the very same bar tenders who over served the decedent, without hesitation, served copious amounts of alcohol to the investigators, all of which was captured on hidden camera.

Once the safe harbor defense was defeated, the defendants argued that the decedent's BAC was low enough at the time of his death (as recorded by the hospital) that he would not have necessarily appeared obviously intoxicated to the servers and therefore the bar should not be held liable even if he had been over served. Eyewitness testimony refuted this.

Additionally, our firm's testifying medical expert reviewed the medical records related to the emergency helicopter flight that transported the decedent to the hospital after his accident. She determined that the EMS technicians administered numerous blood transfusions while in flight. Armed with this newfound data, our medical expert reverse extrapolated and determined conclusively that the decedent's BAC was actually in the range of .19-.21 at the time of the accident, though it was drastically diluted by the time he arrived at the hospital, which accounted for the relatively low BAC found in the hospital's medical records. This testimony proved to be pivotal in the case, resulting in a successful recovery for our clients.
