Personal Injury Lawyer Helping Victims of Motorcycle Wrecks in Harris and Waller County

Motorcycles offer an economical, environmentally friendly, and enjoyable way to travel. For many motorcyclists, riding is not just a means of transportation, it is a lifestyle. Of course, riding a motorcycle can also be a risky activity. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that motorcycle riders were 28 times more likely to die in a traffic accident than those in passenger cars.

At the Law Office of Shane R. Kadlec, we provide sound legal guidance to motorcycle riders who have been hurt in traffic accidents as well as families who have lost loved ones in motorcycle accidents. We will work closely with you to help you and your family get the compensation you deserve.

Fort Bend County Motorcycle Injury Lawyer Fighting for Your Rights

When someone else’s negligence or recklessness causes you to be injured in a motorcycle crash, it is only just that they reimburse you for your damages. While auto insurance is intended to compensate motorists involved in a traffic accident, auto insurance payouts rarely provide the full compensation that an injured rider needs.

If you or a loved one were seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, you probably have an overwhelming number of expenses. Items such as ambulance fees, hospital bills, prescription medication costs, physical therapy, and other medical expenses can quickly add up to staggering amounts. Even worse, you may have had to miss a significant amount of work and are now feeling the added strain of lost wages. The team at the Law Office of Shane R. Kadlec can help you pursue compensation for these and any other expenses related to your injuries.

A Law Firm You Can Trust

Injury attorney Shane Kadlec has more than 25 years of experience in the practice of personal injury law. He and the team of legal professionals at our firm are qualified to handle a wide variety of motorcycle accident cases. These include but are not limited to:

  • Drunk driver and drugged driver accidents: Driving under the influence causes thousands of serious auto accidents every year. If you were in an accident caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, you deserve to be compensated for your expenses and suffering.
  • Distracted driver accidents: Multiple studies show the extreme dangers associated with distracted driving. If you were hit by a motorist who was using a cell phone, eating or drinking, programming a GPS, or was otherwise engaged in activities which took their attention away from the road, contact Barrington Injury Attorneys to learn about your options.
  • Wrongful death accidents: Because riders are significantly more exposed and vulnerable to injuries compared to those in passenger vehicles, many motorcycle accidents are fatal. If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident caused by a negligent driver, we can help you hold the guilty party accountable. Through a wrongful death suit, you can pursue compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, the deceased’s lost wages and lost benefits, loss of consortium, and more.
  • Catastrophic injury accidents: Some motorcycle accident injuries permanently impact a person’s ability to work, care for children, and live a normal life. If you suffered a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe burn, accidental amputation, or other life-altering injuries, our team can assist you. We will help you seek compensation for your lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, medical bills, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.

Our approach to truck accidents is straightforward: we review accident and damage reports, speak with witnesses, and work with experts as needed to clearly understand the factors that led to your injuries. Then, we aggressively seek full compensation from any and all liable parties, refusing to be placated by substandard settlement offers.

Carrier Liability

In addition to the driver, the driver’s employer may also be liable for your injuries. The carrier is often responsible for proper maintenance of the truck, as well as setting the deadlines that which drivers are expected to meet. They must also maintain safe and proper hiring practices that ensure only qualified individuals are permitted to operate their vehicles. Negligent hiring or violations of safety protocols could leave the carrier with a great deal of liability should an improperly screened driver cause an accident.
