Motorcycle Accident Injury Claims in Houston, TX

There is an inherent risk in riding a motorcycle due to the lack of protection. When sharing the road with a distracted, speeding or drunk driver, the danger of serious injury or death is increased.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a motorcycle accident, my firm, The Law Office of Patricia M. Davis can represent you and help you to pursue compensation for all damages, both economic and non-economic.

Although many cases are settled without the need for a lawsuit, my careful and thorough case preparation could get your case resolved more quickly and at a higher value.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries: Serious to Fatal

There are a range of very serious injuries that are far too common in a motorcycle accident, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, amputations, internal organ damage, severe lacerations and abrasions and knee, elbow and shoulder injuries. Those victims that survive an accident often have a long and painful road to recovery, with many months in rehabilitation, numerous surgeries, or may need long term medical care or nursing. The costs involved in treatment may range into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in the first few months after the accident. The injured victim may be unable to work for many months, years or for the rest of their lives. It is imperative that the issues related to filing a claim or lawsuit is managed with a great deal of skill, and that the settlement sought is reflects the victim's changed quality of life, the cost of medical treatment and care, as well as all financial losses, both current and estimated for the future.

A large percentage of serious or fatal injuries are caused by distracted drivers who fail to observe that they are sharing the street or highway with a motorcyclist. Changing lanes and hitting a motorcyclist, or hitting the motorcycle from behind at a stop light or turn is not uncommon. Once hit, the rider is most often thrown into the street or highway where secondary impacts can occur. Motorcyclists have equal rights to the road, and if another person's negligent driving conduct has led to serious injury or death, he or she must be held accountable. Our justice system allows for compensation to be sought from the responsible party when an injury is the result of a failure to act with reasonable care for the safety of others. In cases in which the responsible driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, it may be possible to pursue further damages. I am available to evaluate your case and to offer my legal services to help you get these issues resolved, whether in an injury claim or wrongful death claim.
