LOOK TO OUR HOUSTON MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYERS
As Houston motorcycle accident attorneys, we vividly recall a tragic 2017 motorcycle collision in Pearland, Texas. Two individuals lost their lives in the crash involving a pickup truck. A haunting image of the aftermath depicted a Honda motorcycle, utterly obliterated, hardly recognizable as its former self. Witnesses and those who learned of the incident were shocked by the extent of the devastation.
The riders had little chance of survival. Tragically, the man succumbed to his injuries at the scene, while the woman passed away later at the hospital. In stark contrast, the driver of the pickup truck emerged from the collision relatively unscathed. This harrowing motorcycle accident underscores the vulnerability of motorcyclists, devoid of the protective measures afforded to occupants of motor vehicles.
Victims often endure a twofold ordeal – first in the crash itself and then when grappling with uncooperative insurance companies. Unresolved and inadequately settled insurance claims compound the suffering of injured riders, emphasizing the critical need for skilled legal representation.

THE HARROWING, DEADLY TRUTH OF MOTORCYCLE COLLISIONS
For motorcycle riders, the constant dread looms that other motorists may fail to notice them on the road—a haunting concern that never fades. This apprehension is well-founded, considering the alarming statistics presented by the Insurance Information Institute (III), which report between 80,000 and 100,000 motorcycle accident injuries annually, along with approximately 5,000 fatalities.
The tragic fate of the couple involved in the 2017 motorcycle collision epitomizes the grim reality witnessed on our nation’s highways. In that year alone, 5,226 individuals lost their lives in motorcycle crashes, with only a marginal improvement the following year, recording 5,038 fatalities.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle riders face a staggering 16 times higher risk of death per mile traveled compared to occupants of passenger vehicles. What makes this statistic even more disheartening is that in most instances, collisions involving motorcycles and other vehicles are not the fault of the motorcyclist.
