On November 12, 2021, a man traveling at a high rate of speed on a motorcycle on 635 in Dallas crashed into the back end of an SUV. The motorcycle driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Passengers in the SUV were unharmed in the accident. Most motorcycle accidents in Dallas do not happen this way. A majority of all motorcycle accidents are a result of a passenger vehicle not seeing the motorcycle when they are changing lanes or going through an intersection. Sadly, it is not uncommon for motorcyclists to incur life-changing injuries or die from the injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents Are Always Serious Events
It is easy to understand why motorcycle accidents are always serious for the driver of the motorcycle. Even with a helmet and the right protective clothing, the motorcyclist does not have the same physical protections as the people in the closed passenger vehicle. The impact of the accident often leads to the following injuries:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spine or disc injuries
- Multiple lacerations, road rash, and bruising
- Fractured bones
- Internal organ damage
- Loss of limb
In most cases, the driver of the motorcycle suffers multiple injuries and requires extensive medical care to recover.
Have You Been Injured in a Motorcycle Accident? Consult A Dallas Personal Injury Lawyer
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by another person, you will face many challenges. You will have extensive injuries and medical bills, you may not be able to return to work for a long period of time, if ever, and you may require long-term medical treatments. Insurance companies often treat motorcyclists very unfairly. They like to say that driving a motorcycle is a risk, and therefore the personal injury is not the insurance company’s responsibility. This is simply untrue. Insurance coverage applies to all the people involved in the accident, regardless of what they are driving. This is why it is so important to work with a personal injury lawyer when you have been involved in a motorcycle accident. Having an attorney manage your case will allow you to focus on your recovery while your attorney protects your rights and manages your case.
