Motorcyclists in Texas may soon be able to take advantage of the time-saving practice known as lane splitting. This maneuver, which involves driving between lanes or rows of slow-moving or stopped traffic going in the same direction, can effectively bypass traffic congestion and help riders reach their destination more quickly. In December 2018, State Senator Kirk Watson proposed a bill that would legalize this activity across Texas – potentially revolutionizing motorcycling experiences for Texans everywhere. But as of 2023, is lane splitting legal in Texas?

By passing the bill, motorcyclists will be able to cut through traffic jams very easily, shortening their journey by a great margin. As an added benefit, it could also reduce rear-ended collisions involving bikes. Nonetheless, due to motorcycles being smaller and harder to spot from far away distances; lane splitting can put them in danger of getting hit by drivers when they switch lanes. However, although there has been supporting to pass this law, lane splitting is still illegal in Texas as of 2023.

The party responsible for paying towing and storage fees after a car accident may vary depending on the circumstances of the accident and the insurance policies of the involved parties.

If the accident was caused by the other driver and they are found to be at fault, their insurance company may be responsible for paying the towing and storage fees. If you have collision coverage on your own insurance policy, your insurance company may also cover these costs, regardless of who was at fault.

If you do not have collision coverage and the other driver’s insurance company is not willing to pay for the towing and storage fees, you may need to pay for these expenses out of pocket.

It’s important to keep in mind that the rules regarding payment of towing and storage fees may vary depending on the state or jurisdiction where the accident occurred. It’s always a good idea to review your insurance policy and check with your insurance company or an attorney for specific guidance on your individual situation.

Most dog owners are under the assumption that their sweet dog would never bite anyone. While unlikely, there’s always a chance they could, and you’d be liable for it. Dog bite claims are more common and far more costly than you think. In 2019, there were 17,866 dog bite claims in the U.S., totaling $802 million in total claim value, up $129 million from 2018.

The totals and frequency of dog bites are high enough to warrant significant attention to protecting yourself from a dog bite claim. Rising medical costs and increased settlements are making dog bite claims all the more costly. Some states are more costly than others for a dog bite claim. The average settlement from a dog bite claim in Texas was $40,853.70 in 2019.

Rear-end accidents are the most common car accident in the world. But, just because these accidents are common, the severity and damages that may occur can be just as devastating as a head-on collision or vehicle rollover accident. In fact, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that over 28% of car crashes are rear-end accidents.

This type of accident most commonly happens in heavier traffic when the trailing driver is not paying attention to the car in front of them. Although this isn’t always the case, a large portion of rear-end accidents can be contributed to the other driver’s negligence and can create a strong case for a personal injury claim.

If you've been injured in a rear-end accident, don't wait to seek legal help. Contact the Law Offices Of J. Robert Davis today for a free consultation.

It's important to understand that personal injury settlements range greatly. The value in your case depends on a number of factors that are specific to your case, including property damage, medical bills, lost wages, and more. But the biggest factor that determines large settlements from low settlements is if you have an experienced personal injury attorney representing your case or not.

In an eye-opening study that compiled data over the last two decades regarding personal injury settlements for car accidents involving broken bones, it was discovered that having a personal injury lawyer represent your case more than doubled the average settlement amount. The study revealed that the average personal injury settlement without a lawyer equaled $32,241 while the average personal injury settlement with a lawyer equaled $66,486.

Of course, most cases fall in between the very high and very low end of average settlements. There are also outliers – you’ve probably heard about people getting settlements that are millions of dollars. Some cases settle for that much, but they usually involve very unique circumstances with either punitive damages or other extraordinary damages. No matter your type of injury case, it's highly recommended that you work with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can help you determine where your case falls on the spectrum of typical personal injury settlements.
