Thoughts on Motorcycle Accidents with Trucks

Too many people on motorcycles continue to die each year in Texas. In 2022, 562 motorcycle riders died, an 8 percent increase over the previous year (Texas Department of Transportation). That’s a sad statistic coming out of the Lone Star State.

People who ride motorcycles are at a disadvantage on our roadways due to their size and vulnerability. Motorists must drive with extreme caution and pay attention, looking out for these smaller vehicles. When motorists drive without regard to motorcyclists and cause them serious injuries or deaths, they should be held accountable for the harm their negligent actions caused.

We don’t have enough information regarding this accident to draw any conclusions. Trained professionals will need to conduct an investigation to determine the cause of this accident and if any wrongdoing led to the death of this cyclist.

May the deceased’s family find the answers they need.
