If you or someone you love has been involved in a North Texas motorcycle accident, then there are many very important things for you to deal with right now. Most of these are urgent and inescapable: What is their condition? How severe are their injuries? How long will it take for them to heal? Your entire focus is on their health and recovery. But soon, the true scope and consequences of their wreck will come into focus: How do we pay for the hospital bills? What happens if they can't ever go back to work? What does this mean for our family?
As an Irving personal injury lawyer, I know that the injuries suffered by motorcyclists after a multi-vehicle collision are often extremely severe. Even if the bike rider made the wise decision to wear a DOT-certified helmet, they still have virtually no other protection to save them from harm in the event of a wreck.
Common motorcycle accident injuries include broken and fractured bones, road rash, spinal injuries, blunt force trauma and brain damage. The medical costs associated with treating such injuries can be enormous. And if the injured motorcyclist is unable to work, then the financial implications will be felt evermore harshly.
The law in Texas gives you the right to make a claim for compensation against the person responsible. If you know who the at-fault motorist was who hit you, then you are entitled to make a claim for compensation to recover all past and future doctor bills, recover any lost wages due to your inability to work and also get compensation for the very real physical pain and mental anguish you have suffered.
Unfortunately, the insurance company doesn't want you to get this money. You might be entitled to it under Texas law, but that doesn't mean the insurance company is going to simply hand it over. Doing so would mean a big dent in their annual profits, and they will fight you tooth and nail for it. Before you do anything - before you even speak to the insurance adjustor representing the negligent party - I urge you to contact an attorney. Most offer - as I do - a free, no obligation consultation and work on a no win, no fee contingency basis. If you decide you're not quite ready to speak to a lawyer yet, then please at least request a complimentary copy of either of my books: Roadmap To Winning Your Texas Motorcycle Accident Claim or 15 Mistakes That Will Wreck Your Texas Accident Case which will highlight some of the key mistakes often made by accident victims between being injured and actually hiring an attorney.
When you are ready to speak to someone about your specific case, give me a call toll free at 800-354-6275 or locally at 214-327-8000. I'll be happy to answer all your questions, and if you decide to hire me I will fight for your right to the full and fair compensation you deserve.
