Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are popular vehicles for transportation and recreation across the United States but too often, riders are seriously injured or killed on the roads. Unfortunately, motorcycles offer little protection to their riders in the event of an accident. In the year 2000, nearly 3,000 motorcycle riders were killed and 58,000 injured in accidents throughout the United States. Texas roads are notorious for motorcycle accidents, which claimed the lives of over 300 riders last year.
Motorcycle accidents may be caused by circumstances which are the fault of the motorcyclist or the traffic around him or her. Speeding, lane changes, and inattentive drivers are common factors that can injure or kill motorcyclists. It is important for these accidents to be investigated thoroughly to determine why they took place and who is at fault. A few years ago, Chris Parks, P.C. represented a life-long Texas motorcycle patrolman and his wife, who were touring Oklahoma on their motorcycle. On a bright, sunny day while they rode down a straight, level Oklahoma highway, a farmer turned left into his driveway directly into the path of their motorcycle. The patrolman was killed. His wife spent over 6 months in the hospital. Chris Parks, P.C. was hired to act as lead counsel by another Texas lawyer and obtained a recovery which paid for all medical and funeral expenses, the widow’s future medical expenses and a stream of income which should provide for her financially for the rest of her life.
