If you ride a motorcycle, and you’ve ever had a wreck, you probably already know the potential for severe injury from such accidents. Even with a good helmet, and all the best safety gear and clothing you can put on, a Pearland, TX motorcycle wreck presents a sudden, violent, and terrible event that can change, or even end, your life.
Even at a slow speed, a motorcycle wreck is dangerous because the rider is exposed directly to all the hazards of the violent impact. Occupants of enclosed vehicles at least have the protection of the shell of the vehicle itself. And the designs of the anchored, bucket seats inside a car provide some measure of protection too.
Our Pearland motorcycle lawyers provide an example of what can happen in a high-speed motorcycle wreck. Bill Warner, a professional motorcycle rider who has more experience and knowledge about motorcycle accident hazards and how to handle them than many riders, suffered this particular high-speed crash.
Bill Warner was traveling at 238 mph on his turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa trying to break one of his numerous land speed records. He lost control of the bike and crashed. Miraculously, he survived. But not without some severe injuries. Bill Warner received 4 broken ribs, a lacerated liver, a collapsed lung, a broken hand, a damaged tendon, and numerous lacerations and bruises from his crash. After some weeks spent in the hospital bed, he is finally able to leave the bed.
He’s one of the lucky survivors of a high-speed motorcycle wreck. Most high-speed motorcycle crashes result in fatalities. Even at ordinary speeds, a high proportion of motorcycle wrecks end with fatal injuries. Many of the others permanently disable their riders.
The true causes behind a Pearland, TX motorcycle wreck often require diligent investigation by an experienced Pearland motorcycle accident lawyer. Brake and tire defects lead to many accidents. Road conditions and spilled truck cargo lead to other accidents. And drivers of larger vehicles who overlook the smaller vehicle profile of a motorcycle in their path cause a multitude of motorcycle wrecks involving catastrophic injuries and fatalities.
