What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
- Seek medical attention. Even if you feel okay right after the crash, it’s still very important to get a full medical evaluation. Many injuries may take time to show up. A medical exam can catch them before they become bigger problems.
- Get the police involved. The police will write a report about the accident and make a record of the incident. This can be vitally important for motorcycle accidents due to the risk of injury and serious property damage involved.
- Get contact information for any witnesses to the accident. Motorcycle accident witnesses may leave the scene of an accident soon after it happens, but their knowledge can be an important piece of a motorcycle claim. Get information from them so they can be contacted later if needed.
- Don’t accept blame for the accident. A motorcycle accident can happen fast and all of the facts are not immediately apparent in the chaos that follows. Equipment can fail at the wrong time, road conditions can cause a vehicle to move incorrectly, and many other causes may have resulted in the accident. Stay calm and don’t accept blame for the accident.
- Take plenty of photographs of the accident scene and surrounding areas. Accident details such as debris and skid marks can be very important for investigators. Information about the surroundings such as signs and weather conditions can tell important stories. It’s better to take too many photos than not enough.
- Don’t make any recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking to an attorney. After an accident, you may be confused about what happened. If you make any recorded statements to insurance companies, these can be used as evidence in your claim, even if you were wrong.
- Speak with a motorcycle accident attorney as soon as you can. After an accident, you may face calls from insurance companies and others. A motorcycle accident attorney can act as your intermediary and help you protect your claim.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Accidents can happen for many reasons. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Distracted or inattentive drivers
- Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Equipment failures
- Hazardous or reckless drivers
- Left-turn accidents
- Parked vehicles opening doors into traffic
- Tailgating and rear-end collisions
- Dangerous road conditions
Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders face the risk of serious injury on the roads. Accidents can result in many serious injuries, such as:
- Brain trauma and disability.
- Spinal column injuries including herniated discs and broken vertebrae
- Spinal cord injuries resulting in partial or complete paralysis
- Broken bones
- Disfigurement
- Lacerations and road rash
- Joint injuries
- Ruptured and torn muscles
Compensation for Injuries in a Motorcycle Accident
After a motorcycle crash, you may be facing medical bills, lost wages, property losses, pain, and many other problems. A motorcycle accident claim can help you recover for all of your losses.
Motorcycle accidents can lead to serious injuries that require extensive – and expensive – medical care. Surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term rehabilitation can cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. The cost of this care can easily drain your accounts and leave you with nothing to get by on day to day. You shouldn’t be left with this burden when someone else caused the crash. A motorcycle accident claim may include the cost of any medical care your injuries needed, and the cost of care your injuries may need in the future.
Another important category of compensation is for the wages and income you’ve lost due to your accident. A motorcycle accident can leave you in recovery for days, weeks, months, or even longer. When this happens, you can’t work, and you can’t bring in the income that you and your family need to get by. A motorcycle accident claim may include the lost wages your injuries have cost you, and the damage your injuries inflict on your future earning potential.
Motorcycle crash victims often face lasting physical and mental pain because of their injuries. Physical pain can disrupt your life and prevent you from engaging in the activities you love. Mental pain can manifest itself in the forms of depression, anxiety, and other lasting problems.

If you worked with asbestos before 1983, you may qualify for cash compensation, depending on the job you held and level of exposure.

Personal Injury
A personal injury attorney is one who has dedicated and focused their law practice on helping people who have been hurt or lost a loved one due to the negligence of others. Personal injury attorneys represent anyone who has suffered an injury or loss and seeks legal satisfaction from the responsible party/parties and their insurer so that the person can be “made legally whole.”
The term “personal injury” refers to the damages allowed by law, which include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering/mental anguish, disfigurement and impairment, recoverable both in the past and those that may be incurred in the future. Your legal status in this country doesn’t matter, our personal injury lawyers are here to help.
You only owe attorneys’ fees if we obtain a settlement or verdict in your favor. Once we obtain a settlement or verdict, attorneys’ fees are calculated as a percentage out of the total settlement or verdict. There are no fees associated with taking on your case; only when we recover payment from the person or insurance at fault.
Depending on the event and type of injury, the different types of damages include:
- Medical Bills
- Lost Wages
- Emotional Distress
- Punitive Damages
- Pain & Suffering
The easiest damages to calculate the value of will be your economic damages. This category includes any financial losses you’ve suffered because of your accident—both current and future. Include your medical expenses, lost wages, any property damage, and any other economic costs tied to your injuries. These damages are usually determined by adding the costs together and estimating future expenses.
Noneconomic damages, on the other hand, are paid for intangible losses. These losses included mental anguish, as well as physical pain and suffering. If the injury has resulted in severe impairment, family members may even recover damages for loss of companionship.
Motor Vehicle Accident
A motor vehicle accident is an incident caused by or taking place due to the use of a motor vehicle. It involves damage to a vehicle, usually caused by an external event, such as a collision with another that makes it impossible to continue to drive, or even illegal to continue to drive.
Some of the most common injuries that victims suffer in truck accidents include: traumatic brain injury, back and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputation, broken bones, internal organ damage, internal bleeding, soft-tissue injuries, burns, and lacerations.
The involvement of a semi-truck in any motor vehicle accident, whether it is a tractor-trailer or some other kind of truck, raises the stakes of any injury claim. People involved in these types of crashes need to understand that 18-wheeler truck accident claims are immediately complicated by a number of facto
All states have a statute of limitations on personal injury claims, and Texas is no exception. This is the time limit you have to file your lawsuit. In the Lone Star State, the statute of limitations on most personal injury claims is two years. If you wait to file your lawsuit until after this time, the courts will likely throw out the case and you will be barred from receiving compensation.
Before you can file an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit, you must have reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). This is the only way to determine how much in damages you should claim. MMI simply means that you have reached the fullest extent of your recovery. Your injuries are not going to get any better, nor are they going to get worse.
Once you have reached MMI, you can determine how much your injuries are going to cost you. Reaching MMI typically means that you are no longer receiving treatment.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 35,000 commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes occurred in the state in 2017 alone, including 512 fatal crashes. When these crashes occur, victims and their families need an experienced truck accident lawyer with the legal knowledge and expertise to hold all those involved accountable. Those parties could include: Truck Driver, Trucking Companies, Shipping Brokers, Warehouse Owners, Mechanics, Truck Parts Manufactures

It’s important to know the difference between types and causes and how they can relate to your case. Traffic collisions can be classified by general types. Types of collision include
- Head-on
- Road Departures
- Rear End
- Side Collision
- Roll Overs
Many people think that property damage claims and personal injury claims are one and the same. They are not. While a personal injury attorney will often take on a property damage claim in conjunction with a personal injury claim, they typically will not take on a property damage claim alone.
Commercial vehicle accidents can cause life-threatening or fatal injuries. If you were injured in a commercial vehicle accident or lost a loved one due to the negligent actions of a company vehicle, you might be entitled to compensation. While no amount of money can make up for the anguish you’re facing from this accident, financial compensation can help you pay for current and future expenses stemming from the crash.
A personal injury claim can help you pursue compensation for:
- Current and future medical bills
- Therapy and rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Costs to repair or replace your vehicle
- Pain and suffering
