Many people in Texas enjoy riding the open roads on a motorcycle. Whether you prefer a sport bike or a Harley, you have the right ride safely wherever in this great state you desire. Negligent drivers, who may be drunk or not paying attention, should not be able to ruin this experience for you.
There are many ways in which a negligent driver can cause an accident with a motorcyclist. They may sideswipe a rider they do not see in another lane, pull out in front of a bike while checking their cell phone, or perhaps worst of all, swerve into an oncoming bike for a head-on crash because they are drunk.
Other drivers are the biggest danger for anyone riding a motorcycle in Texas. Over three-quarters of all motorcycle accidents that occur each year also include another vehicle. In two-thirds of these crashes, the wreck happens because the other vehicle violated the motorcyclist’s right-of-way.
Even though it is other drivers that cause a majority of motorcycle wrecks, it is the riders who bear the brunt of these collisions. More than 98% of all motorcycle crashes injure the rider in some way. 45% of these injuries are serious or life threatening in nature.
