LET US HELP YOU WITH YOUR SAN ANTONIO MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CASE

A motorcycle crash in San Antonio can be scary: motorcycles offer drivers and their passengers less protection than most other types of vehicles. Motorcycle accidents often result in devastating injuries such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputations, and death.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle wreck caused by another person, seek assistance from a legal team that stands up for the injured. At the Villarreal & Begum, LAW GUNS, you can count on our dedication:

  • We focus exclusively on personal injury law. This gives us an advantage over law firms that practice in all different types of law, particularly when it comes to motorcycle accident cases.
  • We have the same resources that larger firms have, but we are committed to giving each client the personalized attention they deserve for their case.
  • We refuse to settle your case for less than it is worth. Our attorneys will not hesitate to take your case to trial if that is what it takes to secure the compensation you need.
  • We take all San Antonio motorcycle accident cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that we will not collect any legal fees until after we secure a favorable settlement or verdict on your behalf.

WHY IS AN ATTORNEY BENEFICIAL FOR A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CASE?

Motorcycle accidents can become complicated, as insurance carriers are often biased against motorcyclists, even though people driving cars are often the ones at fault. Your San Antonio motorcycle accident attorney will ensure you are treated fairly and will:

  • Secure all evidence related to your case, including police reports, video and photo surveillance from the scene of the crash, eyewitness statements, and more.
  • Work to ensure you are evaluated by a trusted medical professional who will properly diagnose your motorcycle crash injuries.
  • Handle all communications between you any other parties and work to negotiate a settlement that covers all of your crash-related expenses.

Do not accept a settlement offer before consulting an experienced motorcycle wreck lawyer. You need someone on your side to fight for your rights and ensure you receive the maximum amount of compensation.

MOTORCYCLE STATISTICS FOR TEXAS

During the latest reporting year in Texas, the state Department of Transportation tells us that motorcycle crashes resulted in:

  • 418 people killed
  • 1,927 people receiving suspected serious injuries
  • 2,932 non-incapacitating injuries
  • 1,821 possible injuries

Motorcyclists are much more vulnerable in accidents than passengers in traditional vehicles. Even when a motorcycle rider is wearing a helmet, it is not uncommon for them to sustain one or more of the following injuries:

  • Spinal cord trauma (possible paralysis)
  • Head injuries/traumatic brain injuries
  • Internal organ damage or internal bleeding
  • Broken or dislocated bones
  • Severe lacerations or road rash
  • Severe disfigurement

All too often, motorcycle crashes occur due to the careless or negligent actions of another driver. In many cases, drivers fail to give motorcyclists the space they are entitled to on the roadways. Motorcycle riders are particularly vulnerable to being injured by the actions of intoxicated or distracted drivers. If you are in a motorcycle crash, be sure to seek medical care right away.

IF I WASN’T WEARING A HELMET, WILL THAT AFFECT MY CASE?

While wearing a helmet may keep you safer on the road and protect you against traumatic brain injury (TBI), in the State of Texas it is a personal choice. Texas law only requires motorcycle operators and drivers who are under the age of 21 to wear helmets. If you are over 21, you can choose not to wear a helmet if you have completed an approved training course or have adequate insurance coverage. Whether or not you wear a helmet should not affect your claim.

HOW MUCH COMPENSATION IS AVAILABLE FOR A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?

Every San Antonio motorcycle accident case is different. The amount of compensation a victim is entitled to will depend on a variety of factors. This can include the severity of the injuries, how much time a victim misses from work, whether they are disabled, and more. It is not uncommon for the San Antonio motorcycle accident lawyers at the Villarreal & Begum, LAW GUNS to help clients recover the following losses:

  • Coverage of medical bills and expenses related to the motorcycle crash
  • Recovery of lost wages if they are unable to work
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Loss of enjoyment of life damages
  • Possible punitive damages against the negligent driver

If you are a victim of a San Antonio motorcycle or San Antonio bicycle accident it is imperative that you acquire representation from an attorney who has the understanding and qualifications required to properly represent you in court. The Villarreal & Begum, LAW GUNS has years of experience in personal injury law and can help you in your motorcycle accident case.

When proving negligence, you must prove the following factors:

  • Negligence – The other party was negligent in the motorcycle accident.
