What To Do If You Come Across A Motorcycle Accident

 

Motorcycle crashes can be traumatic and are a healthy fear every rider should take seriously. Fear keeps riders from overstepping boundaries and putting their safety in danger. This fear does not mean every rider should be too terrified to ride but that every rider should take the motorcycle seriously and be aware of the road at all times. This sense of danger has always been a part of the appeal of riding motorcycles, but that does not mean we should avoid learning what to do if we find ourselves first on the scene of a motorcycle accident.

Fortunately, there is an easy-to-remember acronym that will explain what a person should do if they find themselves as the first person on the scene of a motorcycle accident.

What is PACT?

PACT is an acronym that stands for;

Prevent further injuries
Assess the situation
Contact Emergency Services
Treat injuries

PREVENT FURTHER INJURIES

Preventing further injuries is the first step to helping anyone involved in a motorcycle accident. Any injured persons may not be fully aware of where they are and may only be reacting to the accident and their injuries. In this situation, the best thing a bystander can do is guide them or move them to a safe space like the road shoulder or an area away from the road.

After helping injured people to safety, the next thing is to ensure the motorcycle or any empty vehicles involved in the accidents are off. Turning motorcycles and other vehicles off helps prevent any flammable materials from spreading. If you can, move any motorcycles or cars out of the road to avoid further accidents. You should only do this if you can do it safely. If it is too dangerous to remove the motorcycle from the road, it is best to move to the next part of this process and make the accident visible to other drivers on the road. If possible, use a vehicle’s hazard lights ahead of the accident, so drivers know to yield for what is ahead. If that is not possible, a flashing light or reflective vest will signal drivers to slow down. The important thing is to find something to signal drivers there was an accident, so they need to be careful ahead.

ASSESS THE SITUATION

After everyone is safe, check on the injured people. There may be apparent injuries like a broken bone, but there are also times when an internal injury occurs and is not clearly visible. Ask the injured person if there is anything that hurts beyond what is easily visible. If they have any neck or back pain, it is vital they remain laying down to avoid any further injuries. If they attempt to sit up with a back injury, it could make the injury worse. You may ask them to wiggle their toes or fingers to confirm there may be no serious spinal injuries. If they feel any “sharp pains,” treat them as if there is a confirmed spinal injury.

CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES

Contact the EMS to get help. Speak slowly and calmly so the emergency operator can understand you clearly and send help. Answer any questions they ask as quickly as possible. Some operators can receive text messages if you have poor service and cannot make the call. Text the address and do your best to explain the situation quickly.

TREAT THE PATIENT’S INJURIES

If you know first aid, this is the best time to use it. If not, we have some do’s and don’t’s in a difficult situation like this.

Cover the injured person to help keep them warm. Once their adrenaline wears off, they may go into shock, and anything to keep them warm may make things a little easier for them.

Confirm any injured people are in a comfortable position. It does not matter what the position is, only that they are in the most comfortable or least uncomfortable position for them.

If there are any deep cuts or lacerations, apply pressure to stop any bleeding. If you suspect broken bones, protrusions, or items penetrating the person, do not apply any pressure in that area. These injuries are a job left to the trained emergency responders.

If you think they may have suffered a spinal injury, do not move their head! Do what you can to support the head and neck area without moving their head.

Do not try to remove the person’s helmet unless it is a life-and-death situation. If the helmet affects the person’s ability to breathe or they are vomiting into the helmet, it is the only time it is okay to remove it. Be careful not to move their neck to reduce the chance of further injuring the person.

Do not move the injured person if they complain about neck or back pain. It is only acceptable to move them if they are in danger or may be injured further for staying in the same place. Move them the minimum amount to get to safety: the less movement, the better.

Do not panic! Screaming and yelling will not help the situation and may worsen a person’s shock if they panic after seeing or hearing you panic. If a bystander is panicking in the area, it is best to ask them to move away calmly.

Do not assume anyone else knows what to do in a situation like this. If people are panicking, do your best to guide them on how they can help or ask them to step away, so they do not worsen the situation.

Bad Faith Insurance Companies and How They Work Against You

After you’ve been injured in a car accident, you may seek compensation from the other driver if he or she caused the wreck. A car accident claim may lead to a settlement between the accident victim, the at-fault driver and the at-fault driver’s insurance company. However, insurance companies often try to pay the least amount possible to resolve an injury claim.

You can protect yourself from the tactics that insurers use by hiring an experienced Brownsville car accident lawyer to stand up for you. The personal injury attorneys at Herrman & Herrman will fight for the maximum compensation available for your medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Our legal team has helped thousands of accident victims secure financial recoveries from insurers through settlements and verdicts. Our Brownsville law office has English- and Spanish-speaking staff to serve you.

Contact us today for a free initial case review to discuss your legal rights and options for dealing with insurance companies. We can help you evaluate whether you have a valid car accident injury claim. If you do, we can represent you on a contingency fee basis and seek to obtain fair and full compensation for your injuries and losses.

What Is an Insurance Settlement?

An insurance settlement refers to an agreement that you make with the driver who caused your injuries and with the at-fault party’s insurance company. In a settlement, you accept a sum of money in exchange for giving up your right to pursue any further legal action against the driver and the insurer relating to the car accident. In most settlements, the driver and their insurer do not admit fault or liability for the accident.

Insurance settlements may be paid in a lump sum, which means you receive the total amount of the settlement in one single payment, or you may have a structured settlement in which you receive payments over time that may vary in size according to the terms of the settlement.

Ways Insurance Companies Minimize Settlements

Insurance companies have an interest in minimizing the size of the settlement they pay to protect their profit margin. Insurance companies use a variety of strategies to try to convince car accident victims to accept less money than they may actually deserve.

These bad faith tactics may include:

  • Displaying a friendly and helpful attitude, which masks the fact that you and the insurance company have opposing interests.
  • Making matter-of-fact statements about a take-it-or-leave-it settlement offer to give you the impression that you do not have room to negotiate.
  • Minimizing serious injuries as minor or non-catastrophic.
  • Seeking access to your entire medical file to look for pre-existing conditions and non-relevant information in order to reduce or deny your claim.
  • Getting you to agree to a settlement before you have an opportunity to speak to an attorney about your legal rights.
  • Stressing the fact that you have medical bills and regular expenses piling up to pressure you to accept a quick settlement.
  • Denying portions of your claim or your entire claim for missing information, such as having an incomplete police accident report.
  • Seeking to assign part of the blame for the accident to you.
  • Casting doubt on the validity of your claim, by citing the fact that you delayed seeking medical treatment after the accident, or that you have made prior car accident or personal injury claims.
  • Making character attacks, including bringing up the fact that you may have been cited for a technical violation in the accident, or challenging your credibility to cast doubt on whether you might succeed on your claim at trial.

How to Counteroffer an Insurance Settlement

 When you receive a settlement offer that doesn’t compensate you for your past, present and future expenses and losses related to the accident, you may make a counteroffer. You may make a counteroffer even if the insurance adjuster tells you that the insurer’s offer is a “take-it-or-leave-it” or a “best-and-final” offer. You should retain a Brownsville accident attorney to handle the negotiations. Otherwise, you will be at a disadvantage.

Once you’ve received the insurance company’s settlement offer, you may compare the settlement amount to your records of your losses. In some cases, there may be a reasonable explanation for why the insurance company has offered you less than the total losses you’ve claimed to have sustained.

If you choose to make a counteroffer, you or your attorney will do so through formal correspondence that will:

  • State that the insurance company’s settlement offer is unacceptable.
  • Refute statements made by the insurance company that are inaccurate or that are damaging to your case.
  • State a figure that you would accept for settlement.
  • Set forth reasons supporting your counteroffer, including arguments as to why you are entitled to compensation for pain and suffering
  • Provide documentation of financial losses you’ve incurred, including copies of bills, invoices, receipts, and paystubs or income statements.

When the insurance company responds to your counteroffer, the response will indicate how many more rounds of offers may be necessary to reach a settlement, or whether a settlement will reasonably be reached. A Brownsville injury attorney who has experience negotiating with insurance companies can be effective in negotiating on your behalf.

As many of you have heard on the news, Anthony Carrington was arrested for the La Palmera shooting, and was also involved with two additional incidents: a bank robbery on the 5100 block of SPID and a shooting on the 1600 block of Elizabeth Street.

According to KRISTV, “An employee came in (to P.F. Chang’s), got into a disturbance with another employee and it quickly escalated into a shooting…That suspect then fled the scene, and the victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment for gunshot wounds to the lower extremity and he’s in serious condition.”

Those dining in PF Chang’s during the shooting explained to police that after they heard the gunshot, it was silent and then turned to chaos. Johnathan Flores, a PF Chang’s customer told KRISTIV, “It was like a few moments like silence and then complete chaos from there… Employees coming out screaming, crying.

Should You Let Your Friend Borrow Your Car?

It’s all likely happened to us at some point or another: your friend/family member asks to borrow your car. Maybe he/she is just running down to the store for a few minutes. Or, maybe borrowing it for the day to get to work because his/her car is in the shop. You don’t want to say no because it’s no big deal to you; you aren’t using the car. But, have you ever thought about what would happen if this friend/family member was in an accident in your car? 

Is it a Good Idea to Loan Your Car to a Friend? 

This is not a simple “yes” or “no” answer, as it depends on a few different things. This situation isn’t as easy as an accident where you were driving your own vehicle. It mostly depends on how much insurance coverage you have and how much coverage your friend has on his/her policy. If your friend was at fault for the accident, you may end up paying to settle the claims against your insurance. 

If your friend does not own a car, then he/she doesn’t have insurance. In this situation, you’d want to call your insurance agent immediately to find out how to get him/her covered while driving your car. 

As a general tip: you should always be cautious when lending your car to another driver. 

Your Car Insurance Policy Is A Contract Agreement

Purchasing car insurance means that you have signed a contract/made an agreement with your car insurance company. In this agreement, you are saying that you will agree to follow the rules of the road and drive as safely as possible. In return, they will provide you with protection, in the event that you are in an accident. The important thing to note here is that you signed that contract with your insurance company; your friend did not. However, if your friend has a car of their own, and has insured that car, his/her insurance policy may come into play.

Most drivers don’t take the time to understand the intricacies of the responsibilities that come with car ownership.  Take the time now to educate yourself about car liability and insurance. 

What Happens If My Friend is In An Accident in My Car?

“I let my friend borrow a car and they got in an accident. What happens now?”

When a person causes an accident in Texas while driving someone else’s car, there are a few different areas of law to consider:

  • Transportation and safety
  • Negligence and civil liability
  • Employer / Employee law
  • Insurance regulations
  • Criminal law

Here are some examples of when a driver would be driving a borrowed car:

  • Employee driver operating an employer-owned vehicle
  • Customers driving a rental car
  • Casual drivers borrowing the vehicle of a friend / family member
  • Thieves / joyriders who have stolen a vehicle
  • In these cases, there may be more than one person or company that is legally responsible for property damage and bodily injuries caused by the accident.

If your friend has an unsafe driving record or doesn’t have a driver’s license, this could be considered “negligent entrustment.”

What Is Negligent Entrustment?

Negligence is another word for carelessness. Car owners who carelessly lend their car to a driver that is considered to be an “unsafe driver” may be responsible for harm the driver causes.

If your friend has a valid license, you could generally assume that your friend is safe to drive. However, you may find yourself legally responsible if you lend your vehicle to a friend that is:

  • Intoxicated
  • Too emotional or tired to drive
  • Unlicensed
  • Driving with a suspended or revoked Driver’s License
  • Driving without glasses or contact lenses (if the Driver’s License requires them)
  • A minor

Pro Tip: Make sure the person driving is someone responsible and safe that you trust.

In Texas, does the insurance policy follow the driver or the vehicle?

This seems to vary state to state. In Texas, insurance usually follows the vehicle. It depends on your auto policy, but if your friend has auto insurance on his/her car, that insurance policy might not cover an accident he/she has if driving your car. 

In sum, even if you were not driving, your auto insurance policy may pay for damage caused by your car that your friend was driving. 

What is PIP? – Texas Personal Injury Protection Insurance 

Under Texas law, your auto insurance provider must offer PIP –  personal injury protection insurance.

No matter who caused the auto accident, here’s the breakdown of what PIP allows:

  • Insured drivers can file a claim with their own insurance company
  • All people driving or riding in the PIP insured vehicle can be covered for their injuries. 

It is fairly common that Texas drivers waive PIP insurance to avoid the extra fee. However, it is a good idea to pay the few bucks extra for PIP insurance so that you are covered if you are in an accident with a driver who has no money or insurance.

About Family Purpose Doctrine

If a parent lets their minor child drive their car, according to Texas law the parent is responsible for any car accident their child causes. This is known as the family purpose doctrine.

Something to note: if the car was taken without the parent’s permission, the parent owner may not be responsible for the collision. This can be a complicated area of law. If you were hurt in an accident by a driver under the age of 18 years old, you should contact a Herrman & Herrman Texas personal injury attorney today to understand your rights.

What are the Types of Permission?

The owner’s responsibility for coverage applies in most cases where a person/friend has permission to borrow the vehicle. “Permission” is legally broken down into:

Written permission – This is when you put it in writing that your friend is permitted to use your car. This can be handwritten, a text message, email, etc. 

Verbal permission – This is the most common, where you tell the person they can use your car. While not written down on paper or sms, this is still completely legitimate.

Implied permission – This is when your actions imply that your friend can take your car. This could be you handing them your car keys, or telling them where you put your keys. 

If you did not give permission to your friend to use your car, and they caused an accident, they may be facing criminal charges. You would likely not be responsible for liability, but there is still the problem of “who is going to pay for the injuries & damages to the injured victims?”  

If you were a victim of an accident where the owner did not give permission and the car caused an accident, you should be able to file an uninsured motorist claim with your own insurance company. A knowledgeable lawyer representing you is essential here as an uninsured motorist claim can be challenging since your insurer may fight to pay out as little as possible.You will need to build a strong claim for damages, so having a lawyer that is experienced in negotiating with insurance companies is key! 

Auto Accidents Caused By Poor Automobile Maintenance

Texas law requires all automobile owners to maintain their vehicles so that they are in a safe condition. Maintenance includes: replacing brake pads, replacing tires, maintaining working lights (signals, headlamps, warning lights) etc.

If you let your friend borrow your car that is not in a safe condition, you could be found responsible for any accident that happens. If you are going to lend your car to your friend, you should check it to make sure it is safe before letting him/her drive your car. 

Things To Know Before Lending Your Car

Before letting your friend borrow your car, you should know the following:

Know your insurance coverage. If the person borrowing your car lives in your home, they could be covered by your current insurance policy. Check with your agent to know how your policy is written.

Make sure your policy is up to date. No one will be covered if your policy has expired. Having up to date insurance is legally required in all states. Make sure you have at least the $30,000 minimum amount of coverage.

Why are they using the car? Is your friend going to be out driving for uber in your car? Knowing how your friend will be using the car may save you problems later should there be an accident.

Do they have a valid driver’s license and their own insurance? Making sure you know the answers to these questions is essential. If they are in an accident in your car without a driver’s license and insurance you could be found legally responsible, even if you were not even driving. 

Consult a Herrman & Herrman Texas car accident lawyer today for more information. 

Is Your Friend Borrowing the Car For Work: Ride-share or Deliveries?

A collision can happen with a borrowed car that was being used for:

Ride-share work – Uber and Lyft are the most common rideshare companies. They usually have an insurance policy that comes into effect if one of their drivers causes an accident while they are working. A Herrman & Herrman lawyer can make sure that this covers your injuries if you were in an accident with a driver that borrowed a car to work for a rideshare company. 

Making deliveries – Uber Eats, and Doordash are a few examples here. These companies usually have insurance policies that come into effect for employees working/making deliveries that are in an accident. If you were in an accident by a person that borrowed a car to work for a delivery company, contact Herrman & Herrman today for help with your claim.

Pact Act: Burn Pits & Camp Lejeune

Burn Pits 360 is the only 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization offering an independent burn pit exposure registry. This registry allows family members of armed forces to record the names of those that have passed away due to illness from toxic exposure. Le Roy and Rosie Torres founded Burn Pits 360 roughly 13 years ago and they have been actively working to connect exposed veterans with healthcare services and equipment that was not provided by the Veterans Affairs (VA).

“We went overseas defending our nation, but yet we came back and we’re still having to come and fight for healthcare,” Torres said.

Herrman & Herrman is a proud sponsor of Burn Pits 360 and celebrates this monumental bill that was passed by the Senate yesterday, August 3rd, 2022 with an 86-11 vote.

burn pits toxic illness

The PACT ACT is a $280 billion dollar package that will provide expanded health care benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits in Iraq & Afghanistan. This bill also allows widows who lost their spouses to toxic illness from the burn pits to receive benefits and will build 30 new VA medical clinics across the country

Also Included in the Bill: Camp Lejeune Justice Act

According to WECT.com this bill “allow[s] soldiers stationed at the base for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953 and December 31, 1987 to sue the government for damages after exposure to toxic substances in the water, also known as VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Almost one million people lived and worked at the base between 1953 and 1987, and a study found that people staying in Camp Lejeune had significantly higher mortality rates for several forms of cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphona, leukemia and other conditions.”

Anyone who lived in and around the base for at least 30 days is likely to develop an illness from ingesting and bathing in the contaminated water. There are many known injuries and they are varied. Among them are:

Breast cancer
Bladder cancer
Esophageal cancer
Hepatic steatosis (fatty liver disease)
Kidney cancer
Lung cancer
Multiple myeloma
Myelodysplastic syndromes
Neurobehavioral effects
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Leukemia
Parkinson’s Disease
Miscarriage
Female infertility
Renal Toxicity
Scleroderma
Birth defects
And many more serious illnesses.

U.S. Congressman Gregory F. Murphy states, “Our bipartisan bill, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act eliminates burdensome red tape to ensure that those exposed to toxic chemicals, including servicemembers, Marine dependents, civil servants, and contractors, can receive their day in court.”
