Attorney Kris Barber is dedicated to advocating for everyone affected by a motorcycle accident, from the injured motorcyclist to their families and close ones. The Barber Law Firm is committed to supporting victims through the challenging aftermath of a motorcycle accident, addressing both tangible losses like medical expenses and lost wages, and intangible damages such as the physical and emotional distress that often follows such incidents, ensuring they receive the justice they are entitled to.
Texas, unfortunately, sees a higher number of motorcycle accidents than one might expect. In 2017, the state witnessed 499 fatalities among motorcyclists. Given the lack of protective barriers compared to traditional vehicles, motorcyclists are at a significantly higher risk of sustaining severe injuries from accidents. These accidents frequently occur because truck or car drivers fail to notice them, a problem exacerbated by low visibility at night and the inherent lack of protection for bikers, making them particularly susceptible to harm.
Should you or a loved one be dealing with the repercussions of a motorcycle accident and are seeking information about your legal options, don’t hesitate to reach out. Contact the motorcycle accident attorneys at The Barber Law Firm right away to arrange a complimentary consultation with one of our seasoned lawyers.
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning that your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. Texas law requires motorcyclists to wear helmets unless they meet certain exemptions, and failure to comply can affect your claim.
Yes, you can still receive compensation if you weren’t wearing a helmet at the time of the motorcycle accident. However, if the other party can prove that not wearing a helmet contributed to your injuries, your compensation might be reduced under Texas’s comparative negligence law.
You may be entitled to various types of compensation, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In certain cases, you might also be eligible for punitive damages if the other party’s actions were especially reckless or negligent.
It’s recommended to consult with a personal injury attorney before speaking to the insurance company. Insurance adjusters may try to get you to accept a quick, low settlement or say something that could impact your claim negatively. An attorney can handle communications with the insurance company to protect your interests.
A lawyer will protect your interests against the tactics that an insurance carrier will use to mitigate your claim. A lawyer can help by investigating the accident, gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and, if necessary, representing you in court. An experienced attorney understands the complexities of Texas motorcycle accident law and can advocate for the maximum compensation on your behalf.
