Corpus Christi Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

When careless drivers collide with bikers, serious injuries may result. Our knowledgeable Corpus Christi motorcycle accident attorneys can help you get financial compensation from those responsible.

EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS FOR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CLAIMS

We understand how seriously a motorcyclist can be injured in a crash. It is said that there are no minor motorcycle accidents and there is truth in that generalization. A motorcyclist is relatively unprotected, despite wearing a helmet, boots, and heavy jacket, and even a low-speed crash with a car or truck can result in serious injury for the biker.

LIFELONG CONSEQUENCES

A motorcyclist involved in a wreck may escape with bruises and a painful case of road rash, but often the outcome is much worse —

• spinal cord injury, resulting in paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia
• traumatic brain injury, which may require lifelong medical and psychological care
• broken bones, leading to amputation or permanent mobility problems
• death, sometimes after months in the hospital

PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES

The medical bills for a motorcycle or bicycle injury can be a huge burden for victims and their families, who may face a lifetime of medical bills. Recovery from catastrophic injury may generate shockingly high bills for:

• medical treatment
• physical rehabilitation
• lost income
• inability to perform activities of normal daily living, temporarily or permanently
• significant pain and suffering, which may be ongoing

THOSE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD PAY

Our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers are prepared to go to court to ensure that the responsible parties provide fair compensation. Depending on your case, you may seek monetary compensation for:

• medical expenses, current and future
• rehabilitation and physical therapy
• loss of income while injured
• loss of future earnings due to permanent injury
• pain and suffering
• mental anguish/emotional distress

HOW TO FILE A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CLAIM

When you get into a motorcycle accident, you can file a claim to receive compensation for any losses you face, including economic and non-economic damages. But filing your claims correctly is essential if you want to receive fair payment and hold the liable parties accountable for their actions. You are injured due to another person’s misconduct, and you should not feel obliged to manage these costs and injuries alone.

To file a claim, you will need to determine who is responsible for the incident and collect their contact information and insurance policy information. You can get help with this if you work with the police, so we recommend filing a police or crash report if this hasn’t been done already. Law enforcement can help you collect information and navigate specific details related to your accident.

Once you determine who is liable and have relevant information, you can file a claim. You may file a lawsuit against specific insurance policies they hold, such as their vehicle insurance. Other insurance policies may also apply, depending on the circumstances. If the responsible party doesn’t have applicable insurance, you can also file a claim against the individual. You may benefit from submitting evidence and other relevant information when you file a claim, as this can help you qualify for more compensation and accurately portray your version of events.

We suggest you retain a lawyer during this time, as your Hilliard Law attorney can help you complete and file paperwork related to your claim, collect and analyze evidence, and speak on your behalf. Your lawyer can also hold insurance companies and liable parties accountable for the compensatory value you qualify for. This can allow you to focus on your recovery and maintain your financial stability during this challenging time.

COMMON CAUSES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

There are many potential causes of motorcycle accidents, including the following:

• Distracted or texting drivers
• Lack of personal protective equipment
• Distracting pedestrians or passengers
• Unkempt premises or unsafe road conditions
• Weather issues or storms
• Manufacturer error with safety mechanisms

Other circumstances may also result in a motorcycle accident. We recommend you partner with a lawyer for help determining what caused your accident, as your attorney can help you by leading or joining investigations for your case. Your lawyer’s analytical skills and legal knowledge can help you navigate through legal matters far more efficiently and confidently than you could on your own.

POTENTIAL MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT INJURIES

Motorcycle accidents can result in serious injuries, including the following:

• Road rash
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Whiplash
• Catastrophic injuries
• Spinal injuries
• Scarring and certain disfigurements
• Wrongful death

Other injuries are also possible. We strongly encourage you to seek medical attention as soon as possible after your accident. Your doctor can recommend treatment plans and speed up your recovery time. If you need help finding a trustworthy and experienced medical professional, a motorcycle accident lawyer can provide you with a referral during this difficult time.
