Dallas Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Riding a motorcycle can be fun and exciting. However, motorcyclists face certain dangers that other drivers may not experience because they don’t offer as much protection as cars, and Dallas roads can be unforgiving. Crashes are common, and an experienced Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer becomes essential in those cases.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle crash, an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer at the Zinda Law Group can help you recover compensation.

Seeking Compensation for Damages in a Dallas Motorcycle Accident

Many motorcycle accidents are caused by another driver who fails to see the motorcyclist on the road. One example could be a car or truck turning left without seeing the motorcyclist in the next lane and hitting them.

There are several ways that another person could be responsible for your motorcycle accident:

Failure to signal a lane change
Tailgating a motorcycle
Speeding
Distracted driving
Disregarding traffic laws for lights and stops signs
Driving under the influence

Types of Damages

Economic damages and non-economic damages may be recovered in a motorcycle accident case. And in very rare circumstances, punitive damages can be rewarded. The best way to learn which damages you qualify for is to contact a Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer.

Economic Damages

These are damages that bills and receipts can prove. These damages may include:

Medical bills
Loss of earnings due to the inability to work
Cost of rehabilitation and prescription medications
Cost of medical care, such as assistive devices or in-home treatment

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages may be harder to prove because they compensate for the intangible, unquantifiable losses associated with the accident. These damages may include:

Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Loss of ability to enjoy life
Permanent disabilities

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are very rare. These damages are meant to punish the party responsible for extremely reckless behavior and deter similar behavior in the future.

How do Dallas Motorcycle Accidents Happen?

Based on information from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), the fatality rate for motorcyclists involved in accidents is approximately 28 times higher than for car drivers. Even if a motorcyclist practices safe riding habits and takes necessary precautions, the actions of other drivers on the road can still pose a significant risk to motorcyclists.

A total of 562 motorcycle riders died in crashes in 2022 in Texas, an 8% increase over the previous year, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. There are a few common causes of such accidents.

Risky Riding

Motorcycle accidents may result when the rider or other motorists on the road fail to drive safely. This involves having the skills necessary to operate a motorcycle in various terrain and weather conditions for motorcyclists. Splitting lanes, or when a motorcycle travels between two lanes of traffic, is prohibited in Texas.

Other Motorists

Motorcyclists must share the road with cars, and motorists must always be alert for them. Before turning left or changing lanes, a car driver must carefully scan the road for motorcycle riders to ensure their safety.

Disregarding the Requirements for Riding

To make sure they know how to ride properly, motorcycle riders should enroll in an approved motorcycle riding course and receive the necessary license. In Texas, you must ride a motorcycle with a current Class M license. To obtain this license, you must pass a riding test and a written exam covering motorcycle-related traffic legislation.

Texas Laws Regarding Motorcycle Helmets

According to Texas law, you are not legally required to wear a helmet in Texas if you are over 21 and can prove that you have completed a motorcycle training course. Alternatively, you are not required to wear a helmet if you can provide proof of at least $10,000 in medical insurance coverage. A police officer cannot pull you over just to check for these requirements.

Not wearing a helmet may also negatively affect your claim in the event of an accident. Not wearing a helmet may demonstrate that you assumed the risk of riding without one. Still, a Dallas motorcycle accident attorney will be able to give you more information during your free consultation.

What Kinds of Injuries Can Occur from a Dallas Motorcycle Accident?

Head injuries, including concussions and neck injuries, can occur despite using a helmet. The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) advises wearing a helmet that meets the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 218 to ensure safety. This can be identified by the presence of a DOT symbol at the rear of the helmet.

Even when motorcyclists wear appropriate protective gear, such as clothing, they remain vulnerable to skin abrasions, scrapes, and bruises in the event of an accident. Regardless of whether they don thick leather or denim attire, riders are still exposed to the risk of sliding across the road during a motorcycle collision.

Additionally, motorcyclists may sustain fractures and internal bleeding throughout their bodies. Protective clothing does not completely protect against fractures in limbs, fingers, or ribs when a rider comes into contact with the ground or collides with another vehicle.

The following are some of the most common motorcycle injuries:

Facial injuries
Fractured bones
Road rash
Spinal cord damage
Brain injuries
Internal bleeding
Amputations
Neck and back injuries
Scarring and disfigurement
Death

Alexandria

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ben Abbas and Neil Solomon. Since my fiance was hit by an 18-wheeler nearly lost his life and now struggles with persistent pain and has to use a cane on top of a litany of other health issues as a result of the accident, Ben and Neil fought hard on my fiance's case because it was a very complex case involving multiple parties. But not only did they fight hard for us on my fiance's case, when the man of the house and the breadwinner is unable to even walk without a walker for a little over a year and has had to spend two years fighting for disability, and as I've been supporting my fiance because that's what you do when you're loyal to who you love but it's difficult when you lose the breadwinner and they're not able to work, Ben and Neil helped us navigate the legal loan process and they have been instrumental in keeping us afloat. They always respond quickly often within a few minutes and get the paperwork processed almost every single time in the same day. We would have lost everything if it wasn't for them. We are so grateful for them and everything they have done for us. There are something like real life superheroes and if you're looking for a law firm from any kind of injury or accident, we strongly recommend them and Zinda Law Group. Because I can almost guarantee nobody will work harder for you than they will

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words. It's our mission to provide exceptional legal representation to our clients, and we're thrilled to hear that we were able to make a positive impact on your lives.
