What Is a Failure to Yield Accident?
A failure to yield occurs when a driver does not allow another vehicle—often a motorcycle—its lawful right-of-way. These violations often result in high-impact side or front-end collisions, especially at intersections or while turning.
Common scenarios include:
- A driver turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle
- Vehicles merging into a motorcycle’s lane without checking blind spots
- Drivers entering from driveways or private roads without yielding
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Failing to yield at pedestrian crosswalks where motorcyclists are crossing
Why Are These Crashes So Dangerous for Motorcyclists?
When a driver fails to yield to a motorcycle, the consequences are often severe or fatal. With no external protection, riders bear the brunt of the impact.
Common injuries in failure-to-yield motorcycle crashes:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Spinal cord injuries
- Road rash and disfigurement
- Wrongful death
What Are Your Legal Rights?
In Texas, the negligent driver who failed to yield can be held financially responsible for:
- Emergency medical treatment and ongoing care
- Lost wages and future earnings
- Motorcycle repairs or replacement
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
