Motorcycle Accidents.

Dallas is a fantastic place for motorcycle enthusiasts. Nobody knows this better than supercross rider and motorcycle attorney Brian Brunson. In Texas, there are tons of amazing spots for riders to check out, including charming inns, upscale wineries, and thrilling attractions. But it’s crucial for motorcyclists to keep in mind that their safety relies heavily on the actions of other drivers on the road. While the scenery can be absolutely stunning, a beautiful ride can turn into a heartbreaking situation if an accident occurs with your bike.

Determining Who’s at Fault

Unfortunately, motorcyclists who get into accidents often face a negative stereotype, with many people quick to blame them for being careless or at fault. Whether the crash happens on 635 in Dallas or I35 in Fort Worth, it’s crucial for riders to keep in mind that their safety is heavily influenced by the behavior of other drivers on the road. Since motorcycles are smaller and less visible compared to larger vehicles, riders are at a greater risk. Therefore, it’s important to seek experienced legal help right after an accident to ensure a complete investigation into what really happened.

In Texas, the laws regarding comparative negligence play a crucial role in figuring out who is at fault in motorcycle accidents and other vehicle crashes. This system means that everyone involved in the accident can be held responsible to some extent. However, if you want to get compensated for your injuries and losses, your share of the blame must be 50% or lower. To successfully claim damages as someone affected by the accident, it’s important to demonstrate that the other driver was more than half responsible for what happened and acted negligently. To prove their negligence, you need to show that the other driver:

1. Owed a duty of care to the motorcycle operator;
2. Breached this duty in some way;
3. Caused injuries to the motorcycle operator due to their breach;
4. Made the motorcycle operator suffer damages or losses because of the accident.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2020 alone there were over 100,000 accidents involving motorcycles, 82,528 of those resulted in serious injury and 5,579 resulted in death. It’s evident that motorcyclists don’t have the same bodily protection as someone traveling in a motor vehicle. Therefore, motorcycle riders usually suffer much more severe personal injury when involved in a crash. This results in significantly higher medical care costs.
