A motorcycle accident attorney would be needed following an accident in Augusta, Texas, on the night of Sunday, April 12th. A man lost his life, and the authorities identified him as Jack Ryle Jr., 21.
The preliminary accident report showed that Ryle Jr. was riding a motorcycle south on Old Louisville Road when a car suddenly made a U-turn in front of him. The man was unable to avoid the vehicle, and he ended up striking the side.

Ryle Jr. sustained severe injuries from the crash, and the medics took him to the AU Medical Center. The motorcyclist was diagnosed with blunt force trauma and he succumbed to his wounds at the hospital.
The police said there would be no autopsy, and it seems there will not be a toxicology test either. There is no information on the identity of the driver or on whether he will get charged.
Vehicle-versus-motorcycle crashes often leave the rider of the bike with severe trauma. The latter is because the motorcycle offers little protection for the motorcyclists, and those who survive have life-altering injuries.
Some common wounds sustained in motorcycle accidents are head trauma, broken bones, road rash, and neck injuries. Often, a vehicle-versus-motorcycle accident is caused by the rider who either drove beyond the speed limit or failed to navigate a curve rightly.
At other times, the driver of a car might cause the accident, and once that gets proven, a rider can bring a personal injury lawsuit. When there’s a death, the victim’s family or reps can sue for wrongful death, and in both instances, a motorcycle accident attorney would be useful.
