Don’t Let Bias Against Motorcyclists Ruin Your Claim After a Sugarland, TX Accident

Most people will automatically assume that it was the biker who caused a motorcycle wreck. Even if the cyclist was completely blameless in his motorcycle accident in Tomball, TX, he may still find the finger of blame shifting in his direction.

A newspaper article about a consciousness raising gathering of cyclists states: "It seems that an increasing numbers of bikers find a thrill in zigzagging at high speeds between cars..." The author further refers to motorcyclists' driving as "displays of self-centered callousness" that "invite confrontations and demonstrate a gross disregard for how dangerous this driving is for others...." The writer openly displays an anti-biker bias, and seems to expect that most readers will agree with this point of view. We suspect the author's not wrong.

This bias can have a huge effect on your case. Bikers are already more vulnerable in accidents than occupants of enclosed vehicles. Their injuries are usually more intensive, immediate, and lingering than those of a car's occupants. Motorcyclists also suffer fatalities more frequently in wrecks than car occupants. Bias just adds insult to the severe physical injuries the victim is already experiencing.

When you make your claim for compensation after your accident, you'll likely be fighting an uphill battle against such anti-biker bias. You'll need an experienced attorney who knows how to counter the bias so that you can get a fair hearing.
