Throughout Corpus Christi, Texas, a motorcycle accident often results in serious and permanent injuries. Death is a possibility. Often on Corpus Christi highways, motorcycle accidents cause injuries that are more serious than an accident between two similar size vehicles.

There are a number of reasons that motorcycle accidents occur. Passenger vehicles weigh approximately 3000 pounds. Popular brands of motorcycles range in weight from 250 to 910 pounds. Motorcycles traveling at high speeds are difficult to maneuver. The slightest error can make the motorcycle flip over. The difference in size allows a motorcycle driver to slip easily into the blind spot of a car.
The most dangerous situation occurs when cars make left turns. Forty-two percent of motorcycle accidents involve a car making a left turn. The collisions happen as motorcyclists go through intersections, try to pass cars, or attempt to overtake cars. The size of the motorcycle makes it less visible to a turning car.

Under normal circumstances, the driver making the turn is considered to be at fault. If, however, a motorcyclist is in the wrong lane or speeding, he or she may be partially at fault. That means the motorcyclist receive less compensation for damages and injuries as a result of the accident. The proximity of the car to the motorcycle, reduced space to maneuver a motorcycle, and not anticipating a pass in slow or stopped traffic are also factors considered.
Not knowing how many pounds a motorcycle can safely carry is not always easy to determine. Exceeding the weight limit is often the cause of deadly tire failure. Manufacturers make it difficult to determine what the weight limits are. The information, buried in the owner’s manual, is hard to find and interpret. Most dealers do not know the weight limit and, therefore, do not share it with a customer.

Issues

Extensive medical, insurance and legal issues can arise. The issues become intertwined which makes them confusing. Medical issues include follow-up doctor visits, rehabilitation fees, prescriptions, and on-going injuries. The associated expenses go beyond the initial medical treatment costs.

Many motorcycle riders are underinsured. The coverage should cover more than replacing or repairing the motorcycle. Medical expenses and loss of wages are concerns when the motorcyclist is unable to work.

Accident victims are sometimes reluctant to hire a lawyer to submit a claim because of possible legal fees. Most lay people have no knowledge regarding proper submission of an insurance claim that will guarantee the full benefits. Place legal issues in the hands of an expert. A reduction in stress and a more favorable outcome are likely.

The Doan Law Firm attorneys provide insight into relevant claims. Motorcycle accidents have left some victims permanently injured and unable to work. The trauma of an accident sometimes causes victims to be unable to maintain relationships with family and friends.
