However, seeking such compensation from a negligent party can prove challenging without the help of an experienced Houston motorcycle accident attorney. With 20 years of experience in protecting motorcyclist’s rights and in helping those injured in Texas motorcycle accidents, Houston Texas motorcycle accident lawyer Michael Grossman can help you get the compensation you deserve so that you can start the recovery process and get back to living your life.

Motorcycle Dangers, Real and Perceived

Motorcycle accidents often result in severe personal injury, or even death, because of their inherent design as one of the smaller types of vehicles on Texas roads. Some motorcyclists multiply the possibility of sustaining a serious injury by choosing to ride without a helmet. Additionally, motorcycle accidents are prone to having speed or alcohol as contributing factors to an injurious or fatal motorcycle wreck. It’s for these reasons that the general public often assumes that a motorcyclist is at fault in a vast majority of motorcycle accidents. This public perception can often lead to challenging appeals against unfavorable juries if a motorcyclist was severely injured in a wreck, regardless of the motorcyclist’s liability for the accident. In such instances, it can be beneficial for the injured motorcyclist to have an experienced personal injury attorney on their side in order to help such a jury see, through relevant proof, that not all motorcyclists are to blame for accidents. There are likely just as many injurious or fatal motorcycle accidents that occur due to someone else’s negligence as there are accidents that occur due to a motorcyclist’s negligence. With the help of an experienced investigative team like the one at Grossman Law Offices, the truth of a motorcycle accident can often be discovered so that the correct liable parties are held accountable for their negligent behavior.

Can I Bring a Personal Injury Lawsuit for a Houston Motorcycle Wreck?

Any Texas personal injury lawsuit must be composed of three specific aspects in order for the lawsuit to have merit: duty, breach, and damages. If your personal injury accident contains all three elements, then you likely have merit in seeking compensation for your injury through a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent party or parties.

Duty refers to a legal duty that is owned by one person to another person. For example, every person on Texas highways owes every other person a legal duty for public safety. While legal duties owed to people can change dependent on the context of the situation, traffic accidents often involve the simple legal duty for public safety that we all owe to each other while driving.

Breach refers to when a legal duty is violated. When a semi-truck driver crashes into a motorcycle, the semi-truck driver is said to have breached his legal duty toward the motorcyclist. Such a violation is caused through an act of negligence.

Damages refers to the financial losses sustained by the injured party. For example, the motorcyclist injured when struck by a semi-truck would likely sustain severe damages, requiring a lengthy stay in a hospital. Damages does not refer to the motorcyclist’s actual injuries, but to economic losses, like the hospital bill and the money he’s lost as a result of not being able to work. The point of a personal injury lawsuit is to seek compensation for these damages. If no economic loss has occurred to the motorcyclist as a result of the wreck, then there is no reason to pursue a personal injury claim against a negligent party.

In a personal injury case, the plaintiff’s legal representation must be able to prove that the defendant owed a legal duty to the plaintiff and subsequently violated that legal duty. Furthermore, the plaintiff’s legal representation must be able to prove up damages, i.e. justify the amount of compensation that is being sought based on the plaintiff’s actual economic losses. Without the help of an experienced Texas motorcycle accident attorney, proving such damages and building a solid case against a negligent party can often be quite challenging. However, Houston motorcycle accident attorney Michael Grossman has 20 years of experience in working to prove the fault of a negligent party and working to prove up damages for an injured individual.

Motorcycle accidents can often be quite complex dependent on the specifics of the accident scene and the number of liable parties involved. There are many instances where there can be more than one liable party, and each party must have a unique case built against them in regards to their specific negligent behavior that caused or contributed to a motorcycle accident.
