Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Texas
Motorcycle accidents in the state of Texas take the lives of more than 450 people each year. Unlike people traveling inside cars and other passenger vehicles, motorcyclists are not afforded adequate protection during crashes. As a result, they are likely to suffer severe injuries as well as injuries that ultimately take their lives.
When victims lose their lives in crashes, their families are often forced to endure overwhelming consequences. Dealing with mental and emotional pain and suffering is only made worse by the financial consequences they face. Many families have to cover funeral expenses, medical costs, and deal with the loss of a source of income they have grown to depend on.
