The Houston motorcycle accident attorneys of the Duke Firm, P.C. discuss the most common injuries associated with a motorcycle accident and which need qualified legal representation.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident in Houston or the surrounding areas of Texas, you need the help of a personal injury attorney who litigates motorcycle accident cases. Your attorney will determine who caused your injury and if it could have been prevented. As with any injury caused by another person, it is necessary to seek medical attention right away. The outcome of your motorcycle accident case may be hampered if you neglect to see a medical professional.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
The following injuries are common ones resulting from motorcycle accidents. Some are noted in the Motorcycle Safety booklet provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (www.nhtsa.gov):
- Damage to the eyes if protective eyewear is not worn
- Abrasions in the event of a spill
- Lacerations from becoming entangled with chains, kick starters
- Crushed bones from improper footwear
- Head and traumatic brain trauma for those not wearing helmets
- Spinal injuries in the event you have crashed into a fixed object or another motor vehicle
Motorcycle accidents also cause death to many riders. An immediate family member can file a wrongful death lawsuit if a loved one has died in a motorcycle accident in Houston.
A motorcycle accident lawsuit can be pursued if the injury or death happened because of someone else’s fault. Reckless driving, driving under the influence, speeding, racing, aggressive riding, and defective equipment can cause someone to be injured or killed.
