Our dedicated attorneys understand personal injury law and the impact accident injuries have on victims and their families. We can provide personalized guidance and legal representation to help you seek the compensation you deserve.
You must establish liability in a motorcycle accident to obtain compensation for your injuries. Our Denton lawyers can help identify the parties who may be liable for a motorcycle wreck.
Motorists who fail to yield, change lanes without checking blind spots, run red lights, drive while distracted, or violate traffic laws are often liable for motorcycle accidents. In fact, driver negligence is the most common cause of motorcycle collisions.
Defective automobile or motorcycle parts can cause accidents. Manufacturers may be held liable under product liability laws when faulty brakes, defective tires, steering system failures, or design flaws contribute to collisions.
Liability may extend to the motorcycle manufacturer and manufacturers of other vehicles involved.
Municipalities and state agencies responsible for road maintenance can be held liable when dangerous road conditions contribute to a crash. Potholes, uneven pavement, missing guardrails, obscured signage, or inadequate road design that leads to crashes may establish government liability.
Contractors performing roadwork may also be liable for the crash. These companies have a duty to maintain safe conditions for all motorists.
Their liability may arise when improper signage, debris left on roadways, inadequate barriers, or dangerous construction zones cause motorcycle accidents.
Private property owners adjacent to roadways can be liable when hazards on their property contribute to accidents. Liability for property owners may arise when overgrown vegetation blocks visibility at intersections, debris falls onto roadways, or inadequate lighting creates dangerous conditions.
Establishments that over-serve intoxicated patrons who then cause motorcycle accidents may face liability under dram shop laws. These laws hold alcohol vendors accountable when they negligently serve visibly intoxicated individuals who subsequently drive and cause crashes.
You must establish fault to create a foundation for a compensation claim against the negligent party. Our motorcycle crash lawyers in Denton can use the following sources of evidence to prove fault.
The official accident report can help establish fault. We can use the officer’s documented observations and traffic violation citations issued at the scene, as well as the officer’s preliminary determination of who caused the collision.
A Houston motorcycle accident attorney can interview bystanders, other motorists, and passengers who observed the accident. These testimonies establish fault by describing the at-fault driver’s specific negligent actions, such as running a red light or failing to yield to the motorcyclist.
We can obtain dashcam footage, traffic camera recordings, and surveillance video from nearby businesses. This visual proof demonstrates how the accident occurred, showing which party violated traffic laws or acted negligently.
We can hire experts to analyze skid marks, vehicle damage, debris patterns, and final positions to recreate the collision. Their professional reports and testimony can establish fault by proving vehicle speeds, impact angles, and the sequence of events leading to the crash.
You may be entitled to compensation after a motorcycle accident caused by someone else, but insurers may try to downplay your losses with a low settlement offer.
