Houston Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Insurance companies often hold biases against motorcycle riders, but that doesn’t absolve other drivers of their responsibility to drive cautiously and remain aware of all vehicles on the road, including motorcycles. While motorcycles may be more difficult to spot, automobile drivers are still obligated to practice safe driving. Unfortunately, when accidents occur, motorcycle riders are at a far higher risk of serious injuries, such as brain trauma, spinal cord damage, broken bones, deep lacerations, and severe skin abrasions. What might be a minor injury for someone in a car could lead to lifelong, debilitating injuries for a motorcyclist, potentially resulting in paralysis, permanent disability, or disfigurement.

Before speaking with a Houston motorcycle accident attorney, you should not accept or sign any papers from the other party's insurance company. If their driver was at fault, the insurance company will likely try to settle your claim quickly and for the lowest amount possible. Without proper legal representation, you may not realize whether the settlement offer is fair or severely inadequate. Keep in mind that many injuries take time to heal, and the extent of future medical treatments may not be fully known until much later. By accepting a settlement prematurely, you risk being stuck with unanticipated medical bills.
