Motorcycle accidents are among the most dangerous types of crashes on Texas roads. Riders have no protective shell around them — a collision that might be a fender-bender for a car driver can be catastrophic for a motorcyclist. Worse, insurance companies and juries often hold biased views against motorcyclists. Karl Luth aggressively fights this bias and pursues every dollar of compensation you deserve.
The Bias Against Motorcyclists
One of the biggest challenges in motorcycle accident cases is overcoming the bias that riders are reckless or at fault. Insurance adjusters are trained to look for ways to blame the motorcyclist — claiming they were speeding, lane-splitting, or otherwise behaving dangerously. Karl Luth knows these tactics and counters them with solid evidence: police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and accident reconstruction experts. If the accident resulted in a fatality, the family may have a wrongful death claim.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in road rash (skin abrasions from sliding on pavement), broken bones, traumatic brain injuries (even with a helmet), spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, and limb amputations. These injuries often require extensive surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Karl Luth will calculate the full lifetime cost of your injuries, including future medical expenses and lost earning capacity.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in El Paso
After a motorcycle accident: (1) Call 911 and get medical attention immediately. (2) Do not remove your helmet until medical personnel arrive. (3) Document the scene with photos if possible. (4) Get contact information from witnesses. (5) Do not admit fault or apologize. (6) Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company.
