Helping Laredo, Texas Motorcycle Accident Victims Recover Damages in their Personal Injury Cases

On the North bank of the Rio Grande and touching Mexico is Laredo, Texas. Our culture is engrained in everything we do here, and it should be— we are one of the most historic cities in Texas. It’s an excellent destination for day-trippers, especially motorcycle trips. Our terrain consists of rolling hills, flatlands, and wide-open space. On a motorcycle, with the wind in your hair—it is a site to see! Being a gateway city between US and Mexico has some great advantages like our food, culture, and our complex history, but it also comes with increased traffic and drivers unfamiliar with the area. Unfortunately, this makes Laredo a hotbed for accidents, particularly motorcycle accidents.

Types of Injuries Suffered in Laredo Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are likely to suffer catastrophic injury if they are involved in an accident, because motorcyclists have very little protective covering. Most riders wear helmets on the road; these helmets can still crack in a crash, resulting in traumatic head injuries. Motorcycle accidents do not just occur on busy highways. They can also happen on rural roads, in parking lots, and in parking garages. Although motorcycle operators sometimes cause or contribute to these accidents themselves, these accidents also occur due to distracted and careless motor vehicle drivers who are not paying attention to the roadway. Motorcycle collisions can result in serious injuries requiring medical treatment and often extensive physical therapy. Injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents can include:

  • Head injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Spinal injuries (including full or partial paralysis of a body part)
  • Soft tissue injuries (e.g., muscular strains and sprains)
  • Amputations
  • Death

If you or a loved one is suffering due to injuries caused by a motorcycle accident due to someone else’s negligence, you might be able to recover compensation for all the medical treatment and physical therapy expenses incurred. You may be able to recover damages for the physical pain, mental suffering, and emotional distress you’ve suffered. Some injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are permanent in nature. If you are suffering from one of these injuries, recovering compensation for future pain and suffering is essential. If a motorcycle accident causes the motorcycle operator or passenger’s death, the decedent’s survivors may be able to file a wrongful death claim on the decedent’s behalf. In a wrongful death claim, the decedent’s survivors may recover damages for the decedent’s lost income, and loss of their companionship, as well as compensation for their pain and suffering. Whatever the circumstances of your motorcycle accident may be, the legal team at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, is ready to help you obtain the recovery you deserve and your physical and financial recovery is our only goal.

Ways of Resolving Motorcycle Accident Cases

After an accident, a victim files a claim against the at-fault person or parties, and many insurance companies will begin talking about a settlement. When it comes to settling a motorcycle accident case, you should keep in mind that most initial settlement offers are very low. Insurance companies make these low offers to entice you and try and settle the claim quickly and cheaply. Victims may not realize their case is worth significantly more than the insurance company’s initial settlement offer. You need advice from a law firm before accepting a settlement from the insurance company. After several rounds of settlement negotiations, if the motorcycle accident case does not settle, the accident victim’s law firm will typically file a lawsuit in the appropriate venue. Sometimes, this twists the insurance company’s arm and may convince them to offer a higher settlement offer on the case. In other instances, the parties need to complete written, and oral discovery (commonly referred to as depositions) before the insurance company will offer more settlement money. If the case still does not settle following discovery completion, it may go to trial. However, there are other alternative means for resolving a motorcycle accident case favorably. For example, during an arbitration proceeding, the accident victim puts his or her case before a neutral arbitrator who ultimately decides the damages, sticking to financial parameters established by the parties before the arbitration. During a mediation proceeding, a neutral case mediator goes back and forth with each party until the case settles or the parties reach an impasse. The skilled legal team at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, can review and analyze every legitimate option in your case and help you decide on the right avenue for you. Motorcycle accident victims require a seriously aggressive legal team to stand by you and your family.

Experience in Motorcycle Accident Cases

When it comes to resolving a motorcycle accident case favorably, expert witnesses become very important in maximizing the case’s value. Potential expert witnesses in Laredo motorcycle accident cases include:

  • Expert medical providers (e.g., treating doctors and other medical specialists, such as orthopedists) who can testify about the accident victim’s level of permanency
  • Economists who can attest to the amount of an accident victim’s past and future lost wages
  • Vocational rehabilitation experts who can testify about an accident victim’s need to switch jobs—or even careers—because of the injuries sustained in the motorcycle accident
  • Accident reconstructionists who can recreate the scene of a motorcycle accident and describe how it likely occurred—especially in cases where the insurance company is disputing fault for the accident
