An Advocate for Injured Motorcyclists
Motorcycles are a particularly convenient and fuel-efficient means of transportation and recreation for many people, but unfortunately, not everyone looks out for motorcycles on the road, and negligent drivers can cause serious accidents.
At the Law Offices of Raul A. Guajardo in McAllen, we help injured motorcyclists determine whether they have valid claims for compensation under Texas personal injury law. If you have a claim, we will pursue the money damages you deserve, and you will owe us only a reasonable percentage of the money you receive. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with a hard-working personal injury lawyer.
Determining Who Caused a Motorcycle Accident
Determining who is at fault for a motorcycle accident can be difficult. The traffic laws were not always written with motorcyclists in mind, and some bikers break these laws, but that does not mean that they are necessarily responsible when an accident occurs.
A driver who "didn't see you" may still be at fault for causing an accident by changing lanes or turning while you were in his or her blind spot. Drivers have a responsibility to carefully check for other vehicles.
Car and truck drivers like to blame bikers for motorcycle accidents, and insurance company representatives may attempt to do this as well, trying to get you to admit to being at fault. You should not talk to any insurance company representatives until you have consulted with an attorney and learned what your rights are.
Dealing With the Consequences of Serious Crashes
Because motorcyclists are more exposed than people riding in cars, trucks or buses, they are particularly at risk for permanent injuries such as serious head and spinal cord injuries, as well as fatalities, in motorcycle accidents. We take these cases very seriously and will put in the hard work your personal injury or wrongful death claim requires.
If you've been injured on a motorcycle or lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, contact us to discuss your options with knowledgeable trial lawyer Raul A. Guajardo.
