Houston Motorcycle Accident Attorney

According to statistics compiled by federal agencies, over four thousand motorcyclists were killed in motorcycle accidents in 2004. In addition, over seventy-five thousand riders of motorbikes were injured that same year. The statistics speak for themselves. Far too many riders of motorbikes were killed or injured on the road in motorcycle accidents, often as the result of negligence on the part of other drivers.

Motorbike riders involved in motorcycle accidents with passenger cars, SUVs, or trucks are at an extreme disadvantage. Occupants and drivers of cars, truck, and SUVs have several advantages over their motorbike operator counterparts. Car drivers are encapsulated in safety-zone equipped cabins. They are protected by multiple, advanced air-bags. And most important to drivers of motorbikes and motorcycles, SUVs and other passenger autos outweigh motorcycles many times over.

Perhaps it's the relative safety enjoyed by drivers of trucks and SUVs that give rise to an air of superiority over their motorcycle and motorbike brethren. Whatever the reason, though, negligence is often at the root of many motorcycle accidents. Some common causes of motorcycle accidents and motorbike injuries include

· Speeding

· Darting in an out of lanes

· Elevated Blood Alcohol Content

· Stimulant / depressant use
