Van Alstyne Motorcycle Accidents Attorney

Aggressive Texas Lawyers for Motorcycle Accidents in Van Alstyne, Texas

There is no denying that motorcyclists are some of the most at-risk people on the road. When a car or truck collides with a motorcycle at high speeds, the resulting injuries can be severe, if not life-changing. If you suffered a motorcycle accident resulting from another driver's negligence, you have the right to file a suit to get paid for your damages. However, negotiating with insurance companies can be incredibly difficult, as they will frequently look for obscure loopholes to deny any financial responsibility. A personal injury lawyer can advocate for you in these negotiations, building a case while you rehabilitate from the accident.

Burress Injury Law proudly represents motorcyclists in Van Alstyne. We have a strong track record for securing compensation for our injured clients, and when you work with us, you can rest assured that you will receive a thorough, experienced advocate.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

In 2023, the Texas Department of Transportation reported nearly 600 motorcycle deaths across the state, up 7% from the year prior. This rash of grisly accidents can be traced back to the negligent behavior of other drivers who fail to notice motorcyclists before it is too late. These negligent behaviors include, but are not limited to:

• Distracted driving. Drivers who use their phones behind the wheel put others at immediate risk, especially motorcyclists who are more vulnerable in a crash.
• Drunk driving. A driver can be seriously impaired after just a few drinks, leading to diminished coordination, reaction time, and judgment behind the wheel.
• Reckless driving. Excessive speeding can lead to a rear-end collision, potentially throwing a motorcyclist off his or her bike. In other cases, a driver making an unsafe turn could cause a T-bone accident at an intersection, striking a motorcyclist head-on.

All too often, it is casual acts of carelessness that lead to motorcyclists getting injured. Our personal injury lawyers will revisit the scene of an accident to prove that the other driver was at fault. To this end, we will speak to witnesses, compile footage and photographs, and document physical evidence of the crash.

Catastrophic Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Some motorcycle accidents can come with permanent bodily damage referred to as catastrophic injuries. These injuries are likely to impact the rest of your life, so it is critical that you seek out an agreement that covers all of your needs after the crash. A comprehensive settlement should cover any potential losses to your income, the cost of your medical care and ongoing treatment, and your pain and suffering as a result of the accident.

Traumatic brain injuries or TBIs are known to occur in motorcycle accidents, even with the protection that a helmet provides. If you skid against the pavement, you might only suffer a concussion, a mild TBI. However, more severe damage can result in the loss of your independence. Our firm has a special interest in protecting the victims of traumatic brain injuries, and in 2015, we secured the seventh-largest auto accident verdict in the state for a client who suffered a mild TBI.
