Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Texas
Fatal motorcycle accidents take the lives of more than 500 people annually in Texas. There are many instances where these accidents are a result of driver errors. We see countless people die in motorcycle accidents as a result of drivers who are speeding. When drivers are traveling too fast for road conditions and weather, they may not be able to stop in time to avoid striking a motorcyclist.
In addition to speeding, we see many people lose their lives in motorcycle accidents as a result of drivers who fail to yield. When drivers are reckless when changing lanes near motorcyclists, turning at corners, or even while exiting driveways, they may strike motorcyclists and cause severe and fatal injuries.
Other common causes of these fatal motorcycle accidents include impairment, distractions, and aggressive driving behaviors. These and other careless acts continue to take the lives of innocent people daily. If your loved one has died as a result of another driver’s reckless actions, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible driver.
