Amarillo Motorcycle Accident Attorney
30+ Years of Experience Representing Motorcycle Accident Victims
Motorcycles have become an economical and fun form of transportation across the country. While they are less expensive to buy, maintain, and operate, motorcycles are a dangerous way to travel, especially on highly trafficked roads and highways. Motorcyclists have no protection when it comes to accidents. They are often thrown from their bikes, resulting in injuries far more serious than those of the occupants of cars or trucks.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by another’s negligence, you will need the services of an experienced personal injury attorney in order to obtain just compensation. It is best not to take on the legal task by yourself or trust the advice of an insurance adjuster. You will need a tough advocate who knows how to tenaciously pursue what is fair in terms of the damages you should receive. With more than 30 years of experience, Quackenbush Law Firm has what it takes to skillfully represent you throughout the claims process.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are not given the same respect while on the road as other vehicles. Often, other motorists claim to fail to see the motorcyclist, or they fail to give proper right of way. The most common motorcycle accidents involve being hit by another car or truck.
These accidents can be caused by various factors, such as:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Driving while under the influence
- Violating traffic laws, such as tailgating, running stop signs or signals, failing to signal, etc.
- Opening a vehicle door in the path of a motorcycle
- Aggressive driving
- Failing to check mirrors and blind spots, thus failing to see a motorcyclist
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcyclists can also be injured due to dangerous roads or defective parts on the bike itself. As a result, motorcyclists can sustain injuries ranging from road rash to traumatic brain injuries. Some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries can include:
- Road rash
- Fractures and broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Soft tissue injuries
- Dislocations and joint injuries
- Internal injuries
- Emotional and psychological trauma
- Traumatic Brain injuries
