Motorcycle wrecks can result in:
- Prolonged Hospitalization/Expensive Medical Bills
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Paralysis
- Death
- Property Damage
- Loss of a Job/Enjoyment of life
Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
- Careless Drivers: In most cases, motorcycle accidents are not the fault of the motorcycle rider. Accidents generally occur as a result of careless automobile drivers or drunk drivers. Unfortunately, car and truck drivers often fail to acknowledge the presence and rights of motorcycle riders. Insurance companies and defense attorneys try to turn accidents on their heads and blame the victim for the accident. The driver distracted by a cell phone blames the biker for not wearing bright colors, or the driver that refuses to use a turn signal and check the rearview mirror blames the biker for riding too close. An experienced Abilene motorcycle accident attorney knows how to defeat these ridiculous arguments in court and can help you stand up for your rights. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident you owe it to yourself to talk to a motorcycle accident attorney from the Big Country Area, and hold the careless driver responsible so they will think twice before they injure another biker.
