Fault Scenarios in Blind Spot Motorcycle Accidents
Understanding fault in blind spot motorcycle accidents helps determine your legal rights and potential compensation. Liability depends on driver actions, evidence, and whether another party contributed to causing the crash.
Full Fault
When a driver fails to check their blind spot before changing lanes, merging, or turning, they may be responsible for causing the motorcycle collision. Texas law allows injured riders to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, motorcycle damage, and other accident-related losses.
Partial Fault
If both the motorcyclist and another driver contribute to the accident, damages may be reduced based on each person’s percentage of fault. For example, a driver may fail to check their blind spot while a rider may be traveling above the speed limit.
No Fault
Texas generally follows a fault-based system for motorcycle accident claims. However, certain insurance benefits, including Personal Injury Protection (PIP), may provide coverage regardless of who caused the accident.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. If you are 51% or more responsible for the accident, you cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less responsible, your compensation is reduced according to your percentage of fault. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
ABOUT LAKHANI & MCGRATH
How Serious Are Blind Spot Motorcycle Accidents?
Blind spot motorcycle accidents are a serious safety concern in Houston and throughout Texas. The Texas Department of Transportation reports thousands of motorcycle crashes each year, resulting in hundreds of rider fatalities and thousands of serious injuries. In 2024, approximately 581 motorcyclists were killed and about 2,534 were seriously injured statewide, highlighting the dangers motorcyclists face on Texas roads.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable because they lack the protection provided by passenger vehicles. When drivers fail to check blind spots before changing lanes, merging, or turning, riders can suffer severe injuries from sudden collisions. Attorneys at Lakhani & McGrath help injured motorcyclists hold negligent drivers accountable, pursue compensation, and seek justice after serious blind spot motorcycle accidents.
