Robert Martin and David Castro killed in motorcycle accident

On May 5, 2008 two men died in a motorcycle accident in west Fort Worth. The driver, 25-year-old Robert Martin, died at the scene. The passenger, 24-year-old David Castro, was transported to Harris Methodist Medical Center where he died shortly thereafter.

Authorities say the accident occurred as the pair was racing another motorcycle down Camp Bowie West. The driver lost control and struck a curb sending the pair flying into the parking lot of a Taco Bueno restaurant.

A note from attorney E. Michael Grossman:

This is a clear example of how easy it is for a little bit of fun to turn deadly. Based on the information provided it would appear that the family of Mr. Castro would have a valid wrongful death claim. In most cases, when a passenger dies in an accident there will be a pretty good chance that a successful recovery can be made. In an example as extreme as this where the driver was street racing, that makes liability that more discernable. I would strongly recommend that the family of Mr. Castro should consider hiring an experienced attorney to assist in this matter.

It is a shame that these two young men lost their lives and I wish their families the best.
