Who May Be At Fault in a Motorcycle Crash Claim?

State negligence law holds each party liable for their degree of fault in causing an accident. As such, Civil Practice and Remedies Code §33.001 denies damages to a claimant who is more than 50 percent responsible for a wreck. However, if an injured party is 50 percent or less at fault, the law permits them to pursue partial damages against other responsible parties. In a motorcycle wreck, potential liable parties may include:

  • Drivers of the other vehicles
  • The motorcycle manufacturer
  • The manufacturer of the safety equipment
  • The government entity responsible for maintaining the road

A local injury attorney could look into the circumstances of a motorcycle accident and identify potentially liable parties.

Recovering Compensation in Parker

Damages after a motorcycle wreck can cover a wide range of expenses. Injured motorcyclists could collect compensation for:

  • Costs of replacing or repairing any property lost or damaged in the accident such as the motorcycle, protective gear, clothing, and jewelry
  • All past and future medical expenses, including copayments, higher insurance premiums, prescription drugs that are necessary because of the accident, and any medically necessary rehabilitation costs
  • Reimbursement for wages, future earnings, opportunities to earn, and sick and vacation days that were lost because of the accident
  • Costs of dealing with the emotional impact of the wreck

Injured motorcyclists also may be eligible to seek non-economic damages. These are losses that do not have a dollar value but pose a hardship on the injured person and their family. Some non-economic damages may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship, and losses relating to scarring or disfigurement. A seasoned injury lawyer in the community could help an injured person evaluate all their losses from a motorcycle accident to determine a fair settlement.
