We Request Your Witness Information on this Tragic Motorcycle and Car Accident

The lesser visibility of motorcycles to drivers of larger vehicles often plays a part in collisions between motorcycles and cars or trucks. The goal of the Houston motorcycle accident lawyers at Denena Points, PC is to help reduce traffic fatalities and mitigate harm to accident victims and their families. If you witnessed this accident near Bridge City and saw the sequence of events leading up to the tragic fatal wreck, we urge you to contact us right away and let us know.

Drivers of Larger Vehicles have Trouble Perceiving Motorcycles on the Road as well as Vehicles their own Size or Larger

Studies show that drivers of larger vehicles are less aware of vehicles smaller than their own on the road. Our Houston motorcycle accident lawyers realize that their attention tends to be fully occupied just keeping watch for other vehicles their own size or larger. So many motorcyclists are killed and injured when larger vehicles whose drivers have not seen them suddenly pull out in front of them or strike them when the motorcyclists themselves are trying to turn.
