Houston Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Serving Houston and Surrounding Counties
Motorcycle accidents can be the some of the most deadly accidents to occur. Safety
measures such as wearing helmets, for the driver and passenger can dramatically
lower brain injury rates in most cases. Since the head of the biker usually hits
the ground in the event of an accident serious head injury can occur. Helmets can
also help an injured motorcyclist in their case by showing a more responsible nature
of the driver and/or passenger. Helmet laws, however, continue to be some of the
most hotly contested laws in the motorcycle community. If you are one of the over
60,000 people injured in a motorcycle accident each year you need a Houston auto
accident injury lawyer skilled in motorcycle law. Call Carabin & Shaw PC, today
to discuss your rights.
Bikers are often treated unfairly by insurance companies resulting in less than
adequate claims for motorcycle accident victims. If you are in a motorcycle accident
you need a Houston auto accident injury lawyer to guide you through the claims process
and protect your rights with insurance companies. However, motorcycle accidents
are usually not the biker’s fault. Many times the other automobile simply cannot
see the motorcycle and a collision occurs. This, however, does not excuse the automobile
driver from fault. An experienced Houston auto accident injury lawyers can inform
you of your rights and help determine fault in the accident. Other times, serious
injury to the biker occurs as a result of successfully trying to avoid a collision.
The biker is not usually rewarded by insurance companies for avoiding a collision
and is often denied claims for injury and property damage when a collision does
not occur. With the help of a skilled Houston auto accident injury lawyer you can
protect your rights. At Carabin & Shaw PC, we know the laws specific to motorcycle
accidents and biker’s rights and will fight to get you a fair settlement.
Due to the lack of seat belts, air bags and other safety features, combined with
the overall size of the motorcycle as compared to a car, truck, or van, motorcycle
accidents that end in collisions can be deadly. Over 100,000 motorcycle deaths have
occurred since 1996 and the trend is rising each year. Biker’s wearing helmets have
a much better chance for survival in these types of collisions. You need a Houston
auto accident injury lawyer to adequately protect your rights. At Carabin & Shaw
P.C., auto accident injury lawyers, we understand motorcycle accident laws and the
rights of bikers. Call us today and let us help you get the settlement you deserve.
