Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Texas
Roughly 14% of all fatally injured victims in Texas motor vehicle accidents are motorcyclists. The fact that riders’ bodies are completely exposed leaves them more vulnerable to the impact of other vehicles. To make matters even worse, countless motorcyclists are killed in accidents due to the reckless actions of others. In some cases, surviving relatives to the victim can contact a wrongful death attorney in Texas to get justice for their loved ones.
