It may seem counterintuitive, but driving experts and even state administrators recommend that drivers should give motorcycle riders more space on the road, not less, despite their smaller size. The reality is that the factual standard for driving safely near a motorcycle is higher than it is for driving near cars.

In Texas, a state of nearly 24,000,000 people, motorcycle drivers make up a tiny fraction of the people on the road. Yet these roughly 1,000,000 drivers disproportionately suffer injury and death on the highway. In fact, in terms of relative size, considerably more motorcyclists are injured or killed on Texas roads than drivers of passenger cars.

Why is that? Passenger car drivers tend to blame motorcyclists themselves. The evidence, however, tells a different story. In compliance with state law, drivers of motorcycles take specialized courses and in many cases, receive advanced training, too. Additionally, more than 75 percent of accidents involve another car, and a significant majority occur in the context of multi-car collisions in which the motorcyclist is merely at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Unfortunately, innocent misconceptions about how and why motorcyclists are involved in accidents can do considerable damage at a negotiating table or in a courtroom. Mediators and juries often fall in the trap of blaming the victim, as if choosing to ride a motorcycle was somehow the same thing as choosing to suffer a debilitating highway accident because of a car driver’s negligence.

Victims of motorcycle accidents need legal representatives who not only understand the law that governs their case, but also who recognize the uphill battle that their clients face as a result of these misconceptions. Our success in the courtroom and at the negotiating table suggests that a clear message about the cause of an accident can get through, but it takes an articulate, knowledgeable, and experienced attorney to succeed at communicating it.

Fortunately for you, that’s exactly who the attorneys at Fears | Nachawati are. Contact our experts today to find out how we can help you recover from your motorcycle accident. The consultation is free, so you have nothing to lose. Let us help you!

Early morning commuters travelling to Dallas from Rockwall, and Greenville were delayed this morning because of a motorcycle accident that seriously injured two people. Today’s accident marks yet another in a growing trend that underscores how dangerous motorcycle driving can be, particularly for riders who don’t protect themselves.

Although precisely what happened is still under investigation, today’s accident has all the earmarks of the kind of car-induced accident that so often takes down riders. In the half-light of early morning, a driver and his passenger were taking an I-30 off-ramp when the motorcycle crashed, throwing the riders from the cycle and onto the cold, hard interstate. Observers are left to wonder whether an inattentive motorist was travelling too close to the exiting bikers and caused the accident.

A Houston motorcycle owner woke up this morning to a legal and financial reality that he never considered when it was just a highly unlikely probability. As he relaxed at home the night before, his life was changing on Houston’s North Freeway. So were the lives of three others.

What was the motorcycle owner’s fateful decision? It was a simple enough act: he let his friend borrow his motorcycle. Unfortunately for everyone involved, however, the friend had very little motorcycle experience.

Zooming down the center lane of the North Freeway, the rider lost control of the bike’s speed and, as a result, slammed into the back of another vehicle, breaking out the car’s back window and spraying glass on two children sitting in the back of the car. Although scary for the kids, the accident proved even worse for the rider. Not wearing a helmet, the novice joyrider was thrown from the motorcycle, ultimately landing at a hospital in critical condition.

A sharp turn on a rural road is dangerous for all drivers, but it’s particularly hazardous for motorcyclists trying to negotiate the turn at night and at high speed. For Ryan Lorenz and his female passenger, Jennifer Chennault, the sharp turn on FM 455 in Collin County was too much to handle. Lorenz lost control of his bike, driving off the road, striking a poll, and coming to a rest in a roadside ditch. Both driver and passenger died at the scene.

Driving is a motorcycle is fun, but it can also be very dangerous. Driving at high speed, at night, in a group, or with a passenger means driving with greater risk. For many drivers just like Lorenz, that risk can have tragic, painful, and even fatal consequences.

What happens when an F-350 makes a left-hand turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle? The results are painful and tragic, as Jimmy Gamble can attest after he watched helplessly as careless pickup driver “gunned” her engine and made a turn into his friend’s lane. The driver hoped that she could slip across the highway before Carl Barnett, the man driving the oncoming motorcycle, crossed her path.

Tragically, Carl Barnett was closer than she realized and, as a result, slammed into the side of her pickup truck. What adds insult to injury in a situation like Barnett’s is that the driver of the F-350 rolled the dice and took the risk – and the motorcyclist paid the price. As of earlier this week, Barnett was in a Houston-area hospital, fighting for his life.

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

With the economy sluggish and prices on the rise, it’s understandable why many motorcycle drivers would elect to purchase limited coverage motorcycle insurance. However, that’s a risky strategy, given that you can’t always control the risks – such as careless F-350 drivers – that others take.

More than 50,000 Americans are involved in motorcycle accidents every year, according to reports from the National Center for Statistics & Analysis, including thousands of Texans. Although some accidents cause only scrapes and bruises and many fit within the limits of the driver’s insurance policy, a surprising and meaningful number of accidents involve serious injuries and occur in ways not clearly covered by the insurance company. The result is unfortunate: drivers are left fighting for their lives and the financial support of their insurer when they are literally on their backs, recovering from injury.

Fears | Nachawati protects the victims of motorcycle accidents. Whether you need an attorney to get tough with the driver who caused your accident or a negotiator practiced at working with your slow-to-pay insurer, we’re ready to handle your case. Call us today!

Neil and Leslie Craddock left their home in Thirroul, Australia, with the dream of coming to Texas and riding the endless backroads of the American southwest on the back of a Harley-Davidson. Instead, the Craddocks have spent nearly all of their vacation to Texas at Parkland Hospital, recovering from a motorcycle accident that caused severe injury and has required several surgeries.

Less than five miles from the store where they rented their Hog, the Craddocks, experienced motorcyclists, collided with a truck. Although the precise cause of the accident remains unclear, the effects have been abundantly apparent: Neil suffered a broken shoulder and compound leg facture and Leslie is now recovering from a broken ankle and rib as well as a cracked pelvis.

Jim McNeil, a famed and experienced motorcycle stunt rider, died last weekend during a practice run prior to his performance at Fort Worth’s Texas Motor Speedway.

Although some observers initially assumed that driver error or the inherent danger of trick riding caused the accident, people familiar with the fatal accident broke their silence earlier this week, suggesting that mechanical failure – specifically, engine trouble – may have caused the tragic wreck. The fact that Mr. McNeil came up short of his landing zone corroborates this theory.

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Is riding a motorcycle dangerous? You bet. Every time a motorcycle rider gets behind his hog, crotch rocket, or chopper, he knows that he’s riding with his life in his hands. And he knows he’s responsible for the risk.

However, a motorcycle driver isn’t responsible for mechanical failures associated with a defective product. Motorcycle manufactures should provide consumers with a motorcycle that’s fit for the purpose for which it was purchased. A defective engine, bent handlebars, leaky gas tank or any number of flaws may make your ride unnecessarily – and inappropriately – dangerous. If that’s the case, you should give the committed legal professionals at Fears | Nachawati a call immediately.

You may be entitled to complimentary repairs and other remedies. And if you’ve suffered a personal injury, you may be entitled to much more. Ready to find out whether we can provide you with the justice and financial recovery you deserve? Call for your free consultation today.

Nearly 500,000 motorcycle riders converged on Galveston this weekend in what was intended to be a celebration of motorcycling in America. The event had tragic consequences for three riders, however. In each of these wrecks, none of the reckless riders wore a helmet—and all of them paid the highest price for their love of this dangerous and potentially lethal pastime.

The deadly accidents that occurred at the Lone Star Motorcycle Rally are indicative of the hundreds of accidents that happen across Texas every year. One driver lost control of his bike, struck a school bus, and perished when he became trapped under the bus’s undercarriage. Two others were killed when their motorcycle, travelling at an excessive rate of speed, struck a curb and flung them from their bike. Another man was placed in critical condition at a nearby hospital after he ran a stop sign, causing a serious accident.

238 miles per hour is a pretty good clip for a small airplane. On a motorcycle, it’s insanely fast. Nevertheless, 238 miles per hour was exactly how fast Bill Warner, the current holder of the land speed record for motorcycles, was travelling when he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed. Amazingly, Mr. Warner survived the accident, sustaining “just” four broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a lacerated liver, and extensive cuts and bruises on his body.

The risks associated with riding on a motorcycle are real. At the time of his accident, Mr. Warner was one of the most skilled, experienced riders in the country and was wearing the most cutting-edge safety gear. It didn’t matter to the pavement: losing control of his bike caused serious personal injury – and could have taken his life.

If you’ve travelled in Texas, you probably know that the stretch of Interstate 35 between Dallas and San Antonio is one of the most crowded, dangerous roads in the United States. Just last week, an 18-wheeler driving through Waco and pulling an oversized load slammed on his brakes in the middle of the highway, causing a ten-car pile-up that injured two and causes hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage.

On the surface, the wreck appears to be the result of an 18-wheeler driver paying attention to his surroundings: he came to a sudden stop because he realized that he wouldn’t be able to fit his oversized load underneath an overpass. The reality, however, as an investigation by the Department of Public Safety has revealed, is that the accident would have never happened had the driver continued on his specified route on Loop 340.

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Careless 18-wheeler drivers cause thousands of accidents across Texas every year. As last week’s Waco accident reveals, a cursory glance at an accident doesn’t necessary reveal which driver is legally liability for the accident. If you’ve been involved in an accident with an 18-wheeler, you need legal counsel who understands how to reconstruct an accident, how to effectively depose the truck driver and the managers who instructed him, and how to apply the state law governing commercial truckers to your accident.

In other words, you need the expert advice of the professionals at Fears | Nachawati. For your free consultation, call us at 1.866.705.7584 or email mn@fnlawfirm.com.

Jose L. Reyes, a 29-year veteran of the Laredo Police Department, won’t patrol the streets of Laredo, Texas, tonight, thanks to a driver’s recklessness Saturday morning. Instead, Officer Reyes will continue to fight for his life in a San Antonio hospital.

Office Reyes’ patrol down Interstate 35 was violently interrupted on Saturday when a vehicle struck his motorcycle, flinging him onto the highway. Images of the accident reveal evidence common to motorcycle accident: skid marks on the highway, the motorcycle on its side, pressed up against the concrete retaining wall, and a driver notably absent, already flown to a nearby hospital for life-saving medical procedures.

Motorcyclist, Samuel Torres, a well-respected school teacher, tragically passed away in a crash with an 18 wheeler.  It is always difficult to comprehend as a wrongful death lawyer what the family is going through after a tragic event.  In every death case I handle as a lawyer, I lose sleep at night thinking about the people I represent and how I am going to make it my priority to ensure that the at fault party, in this case possibly the trucking company, will be held accountable to the fullest extent of civil law. My hope is that the family realizes our law firm's efforts are to ensure, to the extent possible, that no one in the future passes away in a crash that perhaps could have been prevented.  This motorcycle crash occurred as Mr. Torres was on his way to teach school at around 6:15 a.m. on a ramp on the eastbound ramp of Highway 183.  My law firm's condolences go out to the family of this young man.

Legal Commentary - Majed Nachawati - Author

Frequently, the grieving family starts at a disadvantage legally because as they are dealing with the grief of the loss of a loved one, the owner of the 18 wheeler corporation is busy at work at the scene trying to do "damage control" and attempting to do everything in its power to ensure that fault is placed solely on the motorcyclist. Insurance policies for 18 wheelers are typically $1,000,000.00.  Oftentimes, the insurance company's goal is to play nice with the family and offer a small amount  to avoid the possibility of the family speaking with a lawyer who may inform the family of their true legal rights. When this amount of money is on the line, of course, the only thing an insurance company is concerned with is minimizing or eliminating what it may have to pay out.  On the other hand, to the family, nothing can replace their loved one.  However, while the insurance company has accident investigators on the scene working for them, often the families wait until it is too late to hire a lawyer. By that time, the accident scene is altered, the evidence is destroyed or not useable and the true facts about what happened rest solely on what the insurance investigators collect.  The first think my Law Firm does when retained is hire independent investigators to ensure the evidence at the scene is recorded. We also obtain witness statements from all eye witnesses and the officers that investigated to ensure nothing is missed.  I hope the family in this case gets legal help and recovers from this devastating event.

The Texas legal community is mourning the loss of Lubbock County Judge Rusty Ladd. Judge Ladd was on his way to court last Friday when another vehicle slammed into his motorcycle, sending him to the hospital where he died a few hours later. Judge Ladd’s final acts were in keeping with his long-standing commitment to the fair and efficient administration of law. Fighting through intense pain, Judge Ladd instructed hospital personnel to contact his court so that litigants would know of his absence from court.

Judge Ladd’s accident is tragic, but it’s not as uncommon as many would like to think. Motorcycles are dangerous – and reckless car drivers make motorcyclists particularly prone to catastrophic accidents. Whether you’re dealing with an insurance company or a recalcitrant litigant, it’s important to hire an attorney who fully understands the legal challenges you’re facing.

A 28-year-old motorcyclist flew—almost literally—through the streets of a sleepy San Antonio in the early hours of yesterday morning. Exceeding speeds of 100 miles per hour, the driver entered a curve on U.S. 281 when he lost control of his motorcycle, slamming into a guardrail. Although the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, the tragic reality is his speeds were so excessive that it didn’t matter. The young man died at the scene of the accident.

Last week, a San Antonio motorcyclist travelling at excessive speed clipped a car, lost control, and crashed. Unfortunately, the motorcyclist’s injuries were life-threatening, made much worse by the fact that he wasn’t wearing a helmet. Thanks to an Air Life helicopter ride to University Hospital, the driver had a chance to survive.

Driving a motorcycle is dangerous. Tragically, that danger was amplified by the motorcyclist in San Antonio because of risky choices like speeding, not wearing a helmet and travelling too closely to a car.

Despite its danger, however, motorcycle accidents are often reported as if the risk of driving a motorcycle is the cause of the wreck. In many cases, that’s not the case. Inattentive motorists frequently fail to look for motorcyclists. The result can be catastrophic. Moreover, some insurers are highly critical of motorcyclists’ claims, presumptively acting as if the motorcyclist was responsible.

If you’re a motorcyclist, you should remember two things. First, be safe. Motorcycles are considerably more dangerous than cars. You should take extra precautions. Second, if you’re in an accident, talk to the personal injury experts at Fears | Nachawati. We understand that inattentive motorists and critical insurers are real a problem. We can help you!

A motorcyclist was killed in a recent far north Dallas hit and run accident.  Investigators say that the motorcyclist, Bennie Dee Barr, was killed near the intersection of Preston Road and Frankford Road.  The victim was traveling north when a slow-moving car cut in front of him suddenly.  Barr tried to stop, and skidded for 20 feet before striking the right front side of the car.  Barr was thrown over the hood of the car and landed 40 feet away.  Barr was taken to Parkland Hospital where he later died from severe head trauma.  The car's driver abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.  Police are continuing to search for the car's driver.

The roads are a far more dangerous place for motorcyclists than for those in cars. A road condition that might have little effect on a car could be a serious hazard for a motorcyclist. As a motorcyclist, here are some potential dangers you should be on the lookout for while on the road:

Rough road: Roads can be rough and bumpy because of construction work or lack of repair. Unexpectedly hitting a bump in the road can throw you from your bike.

Slick surfaces: Motorcycles are less stable than cars, making slippery surfaces a far greater danger. While ice and oil are obvious dangers, you should also be on the lookout for less obvious but still potentially hazardous types of debris such as leaves. Even painted surfaces, such as crosswalks, can cause the road to be slippery.

Objects in the road: Watch out for foreign objects in the road, such as parts that have come off of a car or cargo that has fallen from a truck.

Gravel on the road: Gravel on pavement is particularly dangerous when cornering. Gravel can keep your bike from riding smoothly, and it can also fly up and strike you in the face, legs or arms.

Railroad tracks: The wheels of a motorcycle can get stuck in railway tracks. Also, the metal or wood from which the tracks are made can be slippery when wet, so use extra caution when crossing railroad tracks in inclement weather.

Edge breaks: Edge breaks are when two lanes of traffic are different heights. While edge breaks are typically not a problem for cars, they can be a serious danger to a motorcyclist, particularly one traveling at a high rate of speed on a freeway.

Expansion joints and open bridge joints: These connecting pieces create uneven surfaces that can be difficult for a motorcyclist to navigate.

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you should see the immediate advice of a Texas personal injury attorney.

In 1997, Texas repealed its mandatory motorcycle helmet. A new study begs the question: Did Texas make a deadly mistake?

According to a study published in the January edition of the Southern Medical Journal, overall motorcycle deaths increased by 30% in Texas after the state changed its mandatory helmet law.

Al Vabon, a University of Arkansas professor and co-author of the study believes the study shows that repealing the law was bad public policy. According to Vabon, motorcyclists who aren’t wearing helmets are having an overall negative effect on highway safety in Texas.

Mandatory helmet laws were common fixtures during the period when the federal government reduced transportation funding for states without such laws. Once the federal policy changed, Texas was one of the first states to repeal its mandatory helmet.

After the mandatory helmet law was repealed, helmet use by motorcycle riders decreased to 36%.

The study used data on Texas motorcycle fatalities from the period of 1994 to 2004 to analyze trends before and after the helmet law was changed.

A month-by-month breakdown indicated a sudden increase in fatal motorcycle accidents that coincides with the exact month the helmet law was repealed.

The chairman of the Texas Motorcycle Rights Association refutes the study by pointing to preliminary Texas DOT numbers that indicate a decrease in fatalities in 2009. He believes that accident prevention – not helmets – is what really saves lives.

The apparent decrease in motorcycle fatalities in 2009 may be misleading if taken at face value, however. Gonzalo Ponce, program manager of the Texas DOT’s traffic safety section, attributes the decline in fatalities to a decreased ridership due to the poor economy.

While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the overall number of people injured in motor vehicle accidents has declined over the past 10 years, the number of motorcyclists injured in crashes has increased. In fact, the number of motorcyclists injured in traffic accidents has increased 110% from 1998 to 2007.

In 2007, 103,000 motorcyclists were injured in motor vehicle crashes, which is a dramatic increase from the 49,000 injured in 1998. Of those injured, 48% were in single-vehicle accidents and 52% were in multi-vehicle accidents.

Ninety percent of the injured victims of motorcycle crashes are the riders themselves. Only 10% are passengers.

The vast majority (85%) of all motorcyclists injured in accidents are male, and the age group with the largest number of injured motorcyclists is the 20 to 29 age group.

The NHTSA data shows that most accidents happen during the daytime, and more accidents occur on weekends than on weekdays. More than two-thirds of the motorcyclists were injured in crashes that took place during the months of April through September.

According to the latest information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 375 motorcyclists killed in Texas in 2007. Of those killed, 60% were not wearing helmets. Also, 39% of the Texas motorcyclists killed in 2007 had a blood alcohol content of greater than .08.

Overall, the NHTSA report shows that both motorcycle accident deaths and injuries are on the rise across the nation. In fact, on a per mile traveled basis, a motorcycle rider is about 35 times more likely to be in an traffic accident than someone in a passenger car.

The most common type of motorcycle accidents are those involving another motor vehicle, which accounts for 50% of all motorcycle accidents.

Alcohol plays a major role in motorcycle safety, with 41% of motorcyclists who died in a single-vehicle accident in 2007 having had a BAC level of .08 or greater.

Helmet use is another critical safety issue. The NHTSA estimates helmets to be 37% effective in preventing fatal injuries, which means that for every 100 motorcyclists killed in an accident while not wearing a helmet, 37 of them would have survived if all 100 had worn helmets.

A Texas woman was killed in a car accident on Interstate 35 East in Dallas early Thursday.

The victim, 22-year-old Ashley Ramirez, was a passenger on a motorcycle being operated by Erik Delgado-Pereira. The accident occurred when the motorcycle was headed southbound on I-35E, which is the area of the Interstate that passes over Trinity River.

The motorcycle struck a wall, ejecting both Ramirez and Delgado-Pereira. Ramirez was pronounced dead at the scene. Delgado-Pereira was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition.

Investigators believe that speed may have contributed to the accident.

Delgado-Pereira now faces charges of intoxication manslaughter. He was “remote booked” while he was in Methodist Medical Center receiving treatment for his injuries.

Motorcycle riders are at a far greater risk of suffering a serious injury in an accident than someone riding in a passenger motor vehicle. A motorcycle has none of the protective features that help keep those in a car safe – a metal frame, windshield, seatbelts and airbags.

Because motorcycle riders face an increased risk of injury, they should practice vigilance and caution when on the road and take proactive measures to avoid accidents. Here are some of the things motorcycle riders can do to avoid accidents and minimize the risk of serious injury if they do get into an accident:

• Never drink and drive
• Be sure your bike is in good repair and working condition
• Keep watch in your side mirrors for approaching vehicles
• Make yourself visible at night with reflective clothing
• Always wear a helmet
• Wear other protective gear such as gloves, eye protection, long pants, boots and a riding jacket
• Follow all of the rules of the road
• Maintain a safe speed
• Exercise extra caution when passing through intersections
• Be mindful of how inclement weather affects visibility and road conditions
• Make sure that other drivers can see you at all times

Two motorcyclists were killed and a third was seriously injured after an accident on the Eastex freeway. The motorcycle accident took place on the northbound side of the freeway in the early morning hours last Thursday.

Two of the motorcyclists, 19-year-old Cru Marlowe and 21-year-old Jacob Holmes, were pronounced dead at the scene. The identity of the third cyclist, a 19-year-old man, has not been released. He is reported to be in serious condition at Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital.

After you have been in a car accident, you will most likely file a claim with your insurance company, the other driver’s insurance company or sometimes both. In order to determine how much money to offer you, the insurance company will send out an insurance adjuster to evaluate your injuries and the damage to your vehicle.

An insurance adjuster works for the insurance company, and their job is to investigate the accident and determine whether you have the basis for a claim. You may also hear them referred to as a “claims representative” or a “claims adjuster.”

If you do have a rightful insurance claim under the terms of your policy, the insurance adjuster will be the person who will inform you of the settlement offer and explain how the insurance company arrived at that amount.

In almost all cases, the insurance adjuster will gather the same types of information: how the accident happened, who else was involved, what property was damaged and whether anyone was injured. They will also take pictures of your car and obtain estimates for repairing the damages.

Keep in mind that insurance companies, whether it is your company or the other driver’s, want to pay you as little as possible. That is why you should seek the immediate advice of an attorney after you have been involved in a car accident. A Texas personal injury attorney can make sure that you receive a fair settlement for your accident. Your attorney will work only for you, not the insurance company.

A suspected drunk driver is facing murder charges for the death of a motorcycle rider in a recent car accident.

The accident occurred last Tuesday morning when Billy Stroud, 56, was riding his new motorcycle. Stroud was traveling on Belknap Street in Haltom City when he was struck from behind by a car driven by Tammy Sue Stegall, 50.

Stroud later died of his injuries Tuesday afternoon at a Fort Worth hospital.

Stroud’s family is facing a double tragedy. Stroud’s death comes just weeks after he buried his son, 20-year-old Jonathon Stroud, who died after serving two months as a Marine in Afghanistan.

In fact, Stroud purchased his motorcycle because he was so impressed by The Patriot Guard, a team of motorcycle riders that line the funeral routes of fallen soldiers, partly to shield the family from possible protestors.

Stegall has two previous drunk driving convictions, and is believed to have been intoxicated when she hit Stroud. Stegall was arraigned the day after the accident. She was jailed on charges of intoxication manslaughter, but because of her previous DWI convictions, the charge was changed to murder. Her bail has been set at $500,000.

Stegall has a long criminal history. Since 1982, she has been convicted of credit card abuse, theft, possession of a controlled substance and two incidents of passing a forged check. The forged check convictions resulted in a 5-year prison sentence in 1986.

A 16-year-old girl died from the serious injuries she suffered in a motorcycle accident earlier this week.

The accident took place at around 12:45 p.m. on Sunday, about 6 miles east of Temple, Texas. The victim, Stephanie Ann Wingard, was the passenger on a motorcycle being driven by 20-year-old David Lavon Miller.

Miller was traveling westbound on FM 3369 when he veered into the eastbound lane while rounding a curve in the road. Miller swerved back into his own lane upon spotting an oncoming vehicle, but he lost control of his motorcycle. He left the road and drove into a ditch, hitting a culvert. Both riders were ejected upon impact. Miller was wearing a helmet; Wingard was not.

Miller suffered only minor injuries.

Two people were injured in a motorcycle accident on FM 309 in Navarro county on Saturday afternoon. The two victims were 53-year-old Donald Galloway and his passenger, 52-year-old Martha Dudley.

Galloway suffered serious head injuries, and Dudley, says a DPS trooper, possibly broke her arm.

The accident took place when the two were riding their motorcycle on FM 309, approaching the Highway 278 intersection. Investigators believe the motorcycle was traveling too fast for the curve, and the driver of the motorcycle realized too late that he was approaching a stop sign.

As a result, the motorcycle ran off the road, barreled through the intersection and eventually came to a stop on the side of the road.  Neither Galloway nor Dudley was wearing a helmet.

This most recent motorcycle accident comes only one week after the horrific crash during a charity bike ride that left three motorcyclists dead.

Three people are dead after a pickup truck swerved head-on into a group of motorcycle riders. The motorcyclists were participating in a charity ride to benefit the dance team of Corsicana High School in Navarro County, Texas.

The three victims killed in the accident were Corsicana High School science teacher, Leslie Tahamia McCluney, 34, her 61-year-old father Terry Paul Nelson and 54-year-old real estate agent David Edmond Coley.

The driver of the truck was 54-year-old Will Jack Lindsey, Jr. Lindsey was driving his Ford pickup eastbound on FM709 when he swerved into the westbound lanes, colliding head-on with Coley and Nelson’s motorcycles. McCluney was riding on Nelson’s motorcycle when the accident occurred.

After striking the two motorcycles, Lindsey’s truck overturned, striking two more motorcycles in the process.

What caused Lindsey to swerve into the westbound lanes remains unclear.

More than 30 motorcycles were participating in the 90-mile charity ride when the accident occurred on Saturday morning.

A motorcyclist and his passenger are dead after colliding with an SUV on Tuesday night in Clute, Texas. The two victims were 24-year-old Alexander Reyes and 23-year-old Erin Anthony.

The accident occurred at 10pm when a 2002 Ford Escape SUV pulled in front of the motorcycle’s path. Reyes struck the SUV, and both he and Anthony were ejected from the motorcycle. Neither Reyes nor Anthony were wearing helmets at the time of the accident.

The SUV was being driven by a 75-year-old woman from Lake Jackson, Texas. She was driving eastbound on Plantation Drive when she turned left in front of Reyes’ motorcycle. The woman was taken to a hospital for her injuries where she was treated and released.

Authorities say the driver of the SUV will likely receive a citation, but they are not yet sure what the citation will be.

Together the Clute Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety will recreate the accident, and then the case will be referred to a grand jury, say police.  To read more on the story click here.

The 17-year-old driver of a pickup truck struck a motorcyclist then fled the scene of the accident with the injured victim in the bed of the truck.

The black Chevrolet pickup truck struck the motorcycle from behind, which caused the motorcyclist to flip and land in the truck bed. The truck driver then immediately fled from the scene while the motorcyclist lay dying in the back of the truck.

After leaving the scene of the first accident, the driver then struck three more vehicles, including a furniture store truck. Police say the scene was “chaos.”

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at McAllen Medical Center. At least four other people had to be taken to local hospitals for treatment. Two are in critical condition. The suspect was among those taken to a hospital. He is in stable condition.

The driver of the pickup truck could face charges of failure to stop and render aid and fleeing the scene of an accident.

Mediation in personal injury cases typically occurs after a lawsuit is filed, but before a trial before a jury or judge takes place.  Once an injury suit is filed, mediation is usually your last chance to resolve your case, absent a full-blown trial, and , many cases in fact settle at mediation.  During mediation, the mediator is a neutral arbiter between the parties and their goal is to try and resolve the injury claim in a manner that all parties can live with.  Your lawyer should explain to you how mediation works well in advance.  Typically, mediation lasts a half day or a full day, depending on the complexity of the case.  At the beginning of mediation, parties meet in one conference room where your lawyer makes a short presentation to the mediator and the party being sued concerning the facts of your injury case.  Sometimes, the attorney for the party being sued responds with a brief statement and the parties then break into separate rooms.  The mediator typically goes back and forth into separate conference rooms with monetary offers.  If the parties to the injury suit can come together on a settlement, the mediator drafts a short settlement agreement and the injury claim is finalized usually within 30 days following mediation.  If however, the parties are unable to come together on a fair settlement, the case will go to trial.  It is important to ensure your lawyer is willing to go the distance and take your case to trial if necessary.  Lawyers at my firm, Fears | Nachawati, attend mediation frequently, and more importantly, will absolutely take a case to trial if the negligent party (at fault party) is unwilling to pay a fair and reasonable settlement amount.

In Texas, the amount of time a person has to file their claim or case with the courts varies according to the type of lawsuit or claim that is filed.  While there are limited exceptions to when limitations expires, a lawsuit or claim should be filed well ahead of the expiration of the applicable limitations statute.  The reasoning for filing well in advance is that many complications could arise in computing the time line, and once the limitations date expires, you generally lose your right to sue forever--something you do not want to happen.  General legal information on some Texas statute of limitations is listed below:

- Personal Injury - 2 years from date of injury

- Injury to Property - 2 years from date of injury

- Product Liability - 2 years

- Wrongful Death - 2 years from date of death

- Minors - does not begin to run until minor reaches age 18

Call the lawyers at Fears | Nachawati Law Firm if you have questions about your potential case and the proper calculation or the statute of limitations. 1.866.705-7584 or info@fnlawfirm.com

Perry was treated and released from Seton Medical Center in Austin, Texas. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Perry has stated that the accident occurred while he was heading down a hill on a familiar biking trail. For reasons that are not completely clear, Perry went over the handle bars, landing on the backside of his right shoulder.

Potential clients involved in an accident or injury claim that seek legal help or free advice from my law firm frequently ask this question--If I hire a lawyer and have to pay attorneys' fees, won't I end up getting less money in the end?

Nothing is guaranteed--however, I cannot remember a time when I had a client who, at first, was handling a claim on their own or was just about to settle with the insurance when they came to me with many questions and reservations about hiring a lawyer.  They trusted our law firm, and it proved to be worth it in the end.

A couple of questions should come to your mind (1) if you were in need of surgery, would you try to do the surgery yourself ? , (2) do you really have what it takes to take on Big Insurance and an insurance claims adjuster who handles thousands of claims a year?

Remember, the insurance adjuster is not under oath when they are dealing with you and they are frequently trained to do absolutely everything in their power to deny your injury claim or pay you as little as possible.  If you are thinking if it does not work out, I can always hire a lawyer later--think again. Commonly, people come in after trying to handle their injury claim with the "do it yourself" approach by giving the insurance company a statement unfavorable to their claim and missing crucial damages they are entitled to under the law. 

If you have an injury lawyer or law firm who works your claim diligently and aggressively, your decision to hire a lawyer is more often than not worth the time.  While most people are concerned about their property damage, I remind potential clients that vehicles can always be replaced, but you only get one body during your lifetime, if you do not look out for your health, who will?

Abraham Lincoln once said, "A man who represents himself has a fool for a client."  If you have legal questions or need help or need legal advice with your personal injury claim, feel free to email or call me - mn@fnlawfirm.com or 1.866.705-7584.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the number one cause of motorcycle accidents is the failure of other motorists to see the motorcycle. Driver failure to detect motorcyclists accounts for more than half of all Texas motorcycle accidents, says the Department.

Two likely reasons accounting for this problem is the fact that drivers typically aren’t looking for motorcycles, as well as the fact that motorcycles in general are not as visible as cars. A third factor is the driving habits of motorcyclists, who must respond differently to road conditions, traffic and inclement weather.

Drivers are urged to be aware of motorcycles because approximately two thirds of Texas motorcycles accidents are caused by automobile drivers. Even when the only vehicle actually involved in the accident is a motorcycle, a driver of a car is responsible 10% of the time.

The most high risk situations, says the Texas Department of Public Safety, involve an automobile driver making a left turn in front of a motorcycle at an intersection. More than 40% of Texas motorcycle accidents take place in intersections.

Other risk factors include a car’s blind spot, hazardous road conditions, inclement weather, strong gusts of wind and large vehicles blocking a driver’s view.

If you were involved in an accident when riding on a motorcycle, it is possible that you have a Texas personal injury claim. In order to ensure that your claim is not barred by the statute of limitations, it is wise to seek the immediate advice of a Texas personal injury lawyer.

A personal injury lawsuit is based on one person being injured because of the negligent actions of another person. A person is negligent if they fail to act with the prudence that a reasonable person would under the same circumstances. Liability can also be founded on behavior that is reckless or intentional. The person liable for the accident is the defendant, while the person bringing the suit is the plaintiff.

The purpose of a personal injury lawsuit is to compensate the victim for their injuries and losses. These are known as “damages.” The amount of compensation awarded to a plaintiff in a successful personal injury claim depends on the extent of their injuries, both physical and emotional.

The law surrounding personal injury lawsuits varies from state to state. That is why it is so important that you seek the advice of a Texas personal injury attorney. Only an attorney versed in Texas personal injury law can properly advise you on your potential claim.

The law firm of Fears | Nachawati represents accident victims in personal injury lawsuits. To find out if you may have a personal injury claim, contact us today to receive a free consultation. You can email us at info@fnlawfirm.com or call us on our toll-free number at 1.866.705.7584.

You should not hesitate in consulting with a Texas personal injury attorney. If you wait too long, your claim might be barred by the state’s statute of limitations. A statute of limitations is a law that limits the amount of time in which you have to bring your personal injury claim.

A Montague County man died Monday at a Fort Worth hospital after his motorcycle wrecked Sunday afternoon during a police chase in northwest Wise County, according to reports.

Randle Skinner, 27, of Bowie died Monday afternoon at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.

The Fort Worth News stated, the chase began around 4:30 p.m. Sunday at a four-way stop intersection in Chico, a community in northwest Wise County, said Lt. John Thompson of the sheriff's office.

Skinner was being chased by the Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol, Thompson said.

Thompson said he did not know why Skinner was being chased. DPS troopers were unavailable for comment Tuesday morning.

Thompson, however, said Skinner was followed out of town on Farm Road 1810 where his red motorcycle hit a power pole.

"It knocked the pole completely in half," Thompson said. "It broke the motorcycle completely in half."

Skinner was taken to Harris where he was pronounced dead at 1:13 p.m. Monday, the medical examiner reported.
