Types of Odessa Motorcycle Accidents We Handle
Our firm has the experience and resources to handle any kind of personal injury case that happens on our roadways, including crashes involving motorcycles. We understand that motorcycle crashes are often serious, and victims suffer moderate to life-threatening injuries. Whatever your circumstances, do not hesitate to reach out
Types of motorcycle accidents we can address include:
- Accidents with cars and trucks
- Rear-end collisions with cars and trucks
- Sideswipes with cars and trucks
- Head-on collisions with cars and trucks

- Teen and inexperienced driver accidents
- Motorists opening doors in motorcyclist’s path
- Left-turn accidents with cars and trucks

Every motorcycle accident is unique. How we establish liability in one case will not be the same as how we establish liability in another.

Our motorcycle injury lawyers understand the nuances involved in motorcycle crashes and address those differences appropriately.

If a loved one has passed away after being injured in a motorcycle accident and you have questions, call us. We can answer your questions and guide you through this difficult period.
When another person was responsible for your loved one’s death, your family can pursue certain wrongful death damages.

Our Odessa wrongful death lawyers can help you discover your options.

We Take Odessa Motorcycle Accident Cases to Trial and Win
A majority of motorcycle accident claims settle. However, that does not mean you should ignore litigation. Trial preparations are an essential step in the claim process. Without taking full advantage of the discovery process during litigation, you may not have the information you need to strengthen your case. You may miss a piece of crucial evidence that could lead to a higher settlement.
This is why it is essential to work with an experienced litigator. We may believe it is possible to obtain a fair settlement, even though an insurance company is bound to offer less than your case is worth initially. By pursuing a thorough investigation and utilizing discovery, our team will have the evidence and leverage we need to demand more. Our priority is to win the compensation you need in the long run.
If an insurer refuses to be reasonable and settle for a fair amount, we are not afraid to take your case to trial. Our motorcycle accident attorneys have decades of litigation experience and an impressive record of obtaining court awards in our clients’ favor.
We have won more than $50 million in settlements and verdicts in the past two years.

Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me.
