Statistically, motorcycle accidents comprise some of the most serious motor vehicle accidents in the United States. Motorcyclists are far more likely to suffer severe, catastrophic injuries and fatalities when they are hit by larger vehicles, such as cars and trucks.

As your Houston motorcycle accident attorney, I can help you understand your legal rights and develop a strategy aimed at securing the maximum compensation you are owed.

Proving Fault in Motorcycle Accident Claims

Texas follows the rule of modified comparative fault, meaning anyone can collect compensation for damages after an auto accident, provided that they are found less than 50% at-fault for the accident. In other words, you do not need to prove that another motorist is entirely at fault for the accident that led to your injuries, just that he or she is more at fault than you.

In my experience, I have found that most motorcycle riders follow safe riding practices. A large percentage of motorcycle accidents are caused not by the motorcycle operator but by other motorists on the road.

Some of the most common automobile driver behaviors that lead to motorcycle accidents include:

• Failing to check for motorcyclists before changing lanes
• Following too closely behind motorcyclists (“tailgating”)
• Speeding
• Distracted driving, including texting while driving
• Turning left into the path of oncoming motorcyclists
• Passing unsafely and/or illegally
• Failing to stop at red lights and/or stop signs
• Failing to yield the right-of-way
• Fatigued driving

Motorcycle accidents are also commonly caused by poor weather, unsafe road conditions, and defective road design/construction. Faulty motorcycle parts and equipment—such as defective brakes, tires, or helmets—can all lead to or worsen the effects of an accident as well.
