Product Liability in Motorcycle Accident Cases

Sometimes, Texan motorcyclists are injured in single vehicle wrecks which are not the fault of another negligent driver, but actually because of a defect with their motorcycle itself. Such accidents might not be common, but they can and do happen. If you or someone you love was injured in a crash caused by a defective motorcycle, you may be able to pursue a product liability claim for compensation against the manufacturer, designer, retailer or wholesaler of your bike.

A product liability claim basically means that the product (in this case your motorcycle) was not as safe as it should have been. Usually, there was either a hazardous flaw in the design of the machine, or else problems in the manufacturing process which rendered it unsafe. One of the most notorious defects in the motorcycle world is the infamous “Harley Wobble” named after the defective habit of Harley Davidson motorcycles which causes them to wobble on the roadway when being ridden at high speeds.

Motorcycle defects could relate to any aspect of the bike. Common problem scenarios involve the brakes, engine or wheels of the motorcycle, but is not unheard of for defective accelerators, seats and fuel systems to cause serious injuries to the motorcycle operator and passengers.

According to the civil law in Texas, if you or an immediate relative have been seriously injured as a result of a defective motorcycle, you are entitled to seek full and fair compensation from the negligent party responsible. Damages you can recover include payment of all past and future medical bills related to your injuries, reimbursement of any lost salary or other income due to your inability to work while recovering, and compensation for non-economic issues such as the physical pain, mental suffering, and overall loss of enjoyment of life you have experienced as a result of being seriously hurt in a defective motorcycle crash.
