At The de la Garza Law Group, our years of experience handling fatal motorcycle accident cases have given us valuable insight into the challenges faced by family members who have lost a loved one.

17 percent

Despite a two percent reduction in motorcycle accidents from 2019 to 2020, Texas saw a 17 percent increase in motorcycle accident fatalities during the same time period.

At least one motorcyclist is killed on Texas roads every day.

Texas contains more miles of roads than any other state in the country. Because of this, and a climate that makes riding possible all year, motorcycle accidents happen all too frequently. And because motorcycles lack the protection a car or truck provides, motorcycle accidents more often result in serious injuries or fatalities. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, motorcycles make up roughly two percent of all vehicles on Texas roads, but motorcyclists account for approximately 12 percent of all traffic fatalities.

Despite a two percent reduction in motorcycle accidents from 2019 to 2020, Texas saw a 17 percent increase in motorcycle accident fatalities during the same time period. In 2020, 482 motorcyclists were killed in Texas motor vehicle accidents.

Fatal Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

After losing a loved one in a fatal motorcycle accident, you are overwhelmed with grief.  Our team at The de la Garza Law Group is here to take on the battle against the wrongdoers and to get you just compensation while you tend to your family during this difficult time.

A fatal Pasadena motorcycle accident can give rise to two different but related types of personal injury claims: wrongful death actions brought by the spouse, children and parents of the deceased victim; and survival actions brought by the deceased victim's estate.

A wrongful death action is a specific kind of Texas personal injury action that the deceased's parents, spouse, and children can bring to obtain compensation for the loss of their loved one. To establish liability in a Texas wrongful death claim, the party bringing the lawsuit must show that their loved one died as a result of the defendant driver's "wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default."

Because insurance companies are likely to offer less than you deserve, it is important to consult with a fatal motorcycle accident attorney before accepting any offer or signing any documents.

Damages Available in a Wrongful Death Action After a Fatal Motorcycle Accident

Monetary damages in a Pasadena wrongful death claim consist of actual damages, and in some cases, exemplary (or punitive) damages. Actual damages consist of:

Pecuniary losses

  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of companionship and society
  • Loss of inheritance

Pecuniary Losses
Pecuniary losses cover a range of economic harms a family may have suffered after a fatal accident. Pecuniary losses include the loss of the decedent's earning capacity, as well as the loss of advice, counsel, services, care, maintenance and support. Pecuniary losses may also include expenses for any psychological treatment surviving family members needed due to the tragedy.

Loss of Inheritance
Loss of inheritance is defined as the present value that the victim would, in reasonable probability, have added to the estate and left at natural death to the statutory beneficiaries, had the wrongful conduct not caused their death.

In some cases, a judge or jury can award exemplary (or punitive) damages, intended to punish the defendant for especially egregious conduct. Punitive damages are only awarded when the plaintiff can prove that the death was caused by the wrongdoer's willful act or omission or gross negligence.

info

Recovering Damages Through a Survival Action

When a negligent driver causes a fatal Pasadena motorcycle accident, the victim's estate can recover damages that the deceased victim suffered as a result of the wrongdoing.

The "survival" action is brought on behalf of the deceased for the damages they suffered, including their physical pain and mental anguish that preceded their death, medical bills and funeral expenses. It is called a "survival" action because the claim "survives" the deceased's death, allowing the deceased's estate to bring the claim.

Mario fought for every single penny in my case.

I was in a 18 wheeler car accident late August 2019. And as soon I got out the hospital, I looked up a good Injury attorney law firm to help me with this case.

I would definitely use Mario again.

The one thing that made me at ease with him was that when I would text him, I would get a response every time within 10 minutes or less. There was always an answer from him every time I had a question. He was always on time or a few minutes early when we had to meet up for things pertaining to my case. He would even work & reach out to me about my case on Saturdays & Sundays (7 days a week). I would definitely use Mario again if needed and would highly recommend him to someone else needing an attorney. - Robert C.

We are extremely grateful to The de la Garza Law Group

Our case pertained to an auto-pedestrian collision involving a commercial vehicle that resulted in catastrophic injuries to my brother. Unfortunately, and ultimately these injuries resulted in his wrongful death due to this hit and run in the Houston area. On behalf of my family, we are extremely grateful to The de la Garza Law Group for all their legal assistance. Mario de la Garza personally assisted in all legal matters pertaining to/and getting settlements for all medical bills and restitution for the family until the matter was concluded. We highly recommend this firm.

It’s like a breath of fresh air having someone like Mario fight for you.

I have been a client of Mr. De la Garza two times now where he shows professionalism and honesty and a definite care for the people he represents. I got in a car accident in February and it caused such a hardship coming close to an end. It’s like a breath of fresh air having someone like Mario not only represent you but fight for you. I hope not to have any more accidents but if I did I will look forward to working with him again! – Ashley V.
