Motorcyclists are exposed to greater risks than other drivers due to a lack of physical protection. Even low-speed accidents can result in severe injuries like fractures, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal damage. Texas roads can be especially risky for riders due to high traffic, poor road surfaces, and sometimes inattentive or reckless drivers.
In addition to the heightened danger, motorcycle accident victims often face unfair bias from insurers or juries, who may assume motorcyclists are inherently risky or at fault. Documenting the scene thoroughly, preserving protective gear, and obtaining independent witness statements can help counteract this bias. If you’re involved in a motorcycle crash, seek immediate medical attention, avoid discussing fault at the scene, and consult an attorney who understands the nuances of motorcycle accident claims to secure fair compensation.
