How Can an Attorney Help Me After a Motorcycle Accident in Austin?
Insurance companies use various tactics to reduce the amount of money they pay to accident victims. This is especially true for injured motorcyclists. Though they often face unfair bias, we know that most are responsible riders who take safety seriously. Other motor vehicle drivers are at fault in many motorcycle accident cases, and we work diligently to hold them accountable.
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule in motor vehicle accident claims. This means you can recover compensation if you are 50 percent or less at fault for the accident. In other words, you may still have a case if you contributed to the accident. Strong evidence is crucial to show that your fault was minimal, and our attorneys know exactly what evidence to gather and how to present it effectively.
When you turn to us, we’ll handle all communication and negotiations with the insurance company while you focus on your recovery. Our Austin motorcycle accident lawyers will investigate who’s at fault, calculate your damages, and pursue maximum compensation for your losses. We’ll also stay on top of all deadlines that apply to your case, including the two-year Texas personal injury statute of limitations.
Whether your family is counting on you to get well or you tragically lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys are here to help you achieve justice, accountability, and compensation.
What Damages Can Be Collected After a Motorcycle Accident?
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, the number of motorcyclists killed in crashes rose by seven percent in 2023. Nearly 600 motorcyclists died in crashes that year, and another 2,400 motorcyclists suffered serious injuries.
You can recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages you suffered due to your motorcycle accident, such as:
- Past and future medical expenses for surgeries, hospitalizations, medications, physical therapy, and more.
- Lost wages for the time you missed at work due to your injuries.
- Lowered future earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job.
- Disability accommodations and equipment, such as wheelchairs, braces, and home modifications.
- Pain and suffering, including physical pain and emotional distress.
- Lowered quality of life, including the impact your injuries have on your ability to participate in activities you previously enjoyed.
Punitive damages are also available in extreme cases of recklessness or intentional harm. These damages are intended to punish the defendant for their wrongdoing. Texas law caps punitive damages at the greater of (1) two times your economic damages plus the value of your non-economic damages up to $750,000 or (2) $200,000.
The exact damages available vary from case to case. Your case’s value depends on factors such as injury severity, income before the injury, each party’s share of liability, and available insurance coverage. Our attorneys can help you understand the compensation you may receive after a motorcycle accident once we’ve had a chance to review your case.
