While motorcycle riding is a fun way to navigate Texas roads, riders lack the protections of other drivers, so it’s crucial to take all safety precautions. However, you may get into an accident on a motorcycle due to another person’s negligence.

The aftermath of a motorcycle accident can be overwhelming, but knowing the optimal steps to defend your rights can make it less stressful. Taking the following actions after an accident can significantly strengthen your claim:
Your top priority after an accident should be seeing a medical professional so that they can assess your injuries. Medical attention allows you to identify any serious issues that require treatment and creates a record of your injuries. This record demonstrates the existence of your injuries, their potential causes, and required treatment.
Collecting information after the accident is an effective way to prove fault and damages. You can take pictures of the scene and your injuries, write down witness information, and note the other driver’s license plate number and additional information. You can also document other observations about the scene, like the weather and traffic conditions to provide further insight into the cause of the accident.
Motorcycle injuries often impact several aspects of victims’ lives. Therefore, it’s important to take notes about how your injuries have affected your mental health and daily life. This information helps convey the non-economic damages the liable party’s action has caused, like pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
Having a professional and trustworthy motorcycle accident lawyer by your side is one of the most effective ways to achieve the compensation you deserve. We can help you avoid mistakes, build a strong claim, and fight for you every step of the way so that you can have the best chance of a fair settlement.
Several factors can contribute to a motorcycle accident, making it difficult to identify a liable party. Our attentive lawyers can help you determine whose negligence caused the accident and hold them accountable. Depending on the details of your accident, the following parties may be responsible:
Motorcycle accidents often occur quickly, so if you are unsure who or what caused the accident, we can help you gather evidence like video footage, witness testimony, and police reports to determine the at-fault party. Our capable motorcycle accident lawyers have the skills, knowledge, and experience to take on defendants like major companies and multiple liable parties to achieve a successful outcome.
If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries in a motorcycle accident, you have the right to pursue financial compensation for your losses. Based on the severity of your injuries and the facts of your claim, you may recover the following costs:
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system when awarding damages for motorcycle accident claims. Each party involved in the accident receives a percentage of the fault which gets deducted from each person’s damages. If someone is over 50% at fault, they cannot recover any costs. For example, if you are 15% at fault for the accident, your compensation gets reduced by 15%.
Our knowledgeable lawyers understand insurance companies’ tactics to assign you an unfair fault percentage. Therefore, we fight tirelessly to present a solid claim and evidence to secure the compensation you deserve.
