McKinney Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

McKinney Motorcycle Accidents

Have you experienced injuries after being in a motorcycle accident that was someone else’s fault? Reach out to a motorcycle accident attorney in McKinney to identify the negligent party and hold them legally accountable.

Riding motorcycles can be a fun and freeing hobby for many but it also comes with many risks. Even when a helmet is worn and safety precautions are taken, motorcyclists are more likely to get severely injured in accidents than vehicle drivers because their bodies are completely exposed to potential collisions that often have fatal results.

If you’ve been injured while riding a motorcycle, you’ll likely have a long road to recovery. You may have to take an extended leave of absence from work and during this time, you won’t have a way to earn an income. Your medical expenses will begin to accumulate so it’s important to determine who’s liable for your wreck so they can cover your financial expenses.

A McKinney motorcycle accident lawyer from Crain Brogdon, LLP. can help you take legal action and obtain a settlement so that you can begin picking up the pieces of your life. Hopefully, a settlement will help you get back on your feet more quickly so you can move on from the accident with closure.  

Fighting Against the Reckless Motorcyclist Stereotype

Unfortunately, motorcyclists are given the stereotype of being reckless even when it’s not always true. You may have trouble proving negligence in your case because the judge and jury already have it in their minds that the accident was your fault. A motorcycle accident attorney in McKinney can help gather sufficient evidence in your case to show why you weren’t responsible for your injuries. 

Why Motorcycle Wrecks Occur in and around McKinney

Although motorcyclists are occasionally at fault for causing accidents on the road, vehicle drivers are also commonly at fault for causing bike wrecks because their awareness of motorcyclists on the road is minimal. If a driver is speeding, improperly changing lanes, failing to yield, driving under the influence, or cuts off a biker and injures them, the driver can be held liable.

Other factors may also cause motorcycle wrecks such as motorcycle defects, bad road conditions, and roadway hazards. In the event that a third party causes your bike accident and you can prove that their negligence caused your injuries, you can sue the company or entity responsible.

Recoverable Damages in a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit

The damages you’ll be able to recover in your lawsuit will greatly depend on the severity of your wreck and the injuries you’ve suffered as a result. Your attorney will work with both your doctor and the police to assess all of your damages and calculate these into your overall claim value.

Economic damages may include medical expenses, lost wages from being out of work, and property damage. Non-economic damages can include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, scarring and disfigurement, and loss of consortium.
