Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Texas
Reasons to Hire an Experienced, Aggressive Houston Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to experience a serious injury on the road than those in passenger cars. If you find yourself among the national statistics for motorcycle accidents, it is important to have an attorney who is familiar and experienced with motorcycle accident cases.
Due to the lack of physical protection afforded by motorcycles, injuries suffered can be severe, and fatalities are, unfortunately, all too common. Despite the grim statistics, fair compensation for these accidents is no easy feat. Claims involving motorcycle riders are among the most aggressively contested. This is why it is in your best interest to hire an experienced and aggressive Houston motorcycle accident lawyer. Jorge L. Gomez of Gomez Law Firm is board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has more than 15 years’ experience as a Houston injury attorney. When you put his skills to work on your case, you can count on a tireless effort to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve and need.
How to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim the Right Way
Naturally, following any traffic accident a claim for compensation is filed to cover the damages incurred. However, in the case of motorcycle accident victims, filing a successful claim has become increasingly difficult because insurance companies are determined to prove that the fault lies with the motorcycle rider rather than the insured party.
Insurance adjusters routinely and aggressively attempt to place the blame on the motorcycle rider, using to their advantage stereotypes of irresponsible driving that has become associated with motorcycle riders, especially regarding road bike and cruiser riders. Using this, they attempt to shift the blame away from their drivers and onto the rider by insinuating that the rider was driving fast, recklessly, or in an aggressive manner as is often associated with motorcycle riders. Even if the rider has no previous record of traffic offenses, these tactics are often successfully deployed by a seasoned, well-paid legal team intent on removing liability from their driver.
Unrepresented riders face many negative effects of this modern-day reality, including financial strain from debt, emotional stress, and physical injuries. Engaging an experienced and knowledgeable Houston motorcycle accident lawyer specializing in personal injury can minimize and even help you avoid these negatives altogether.
