Motorcycle Accident FAQs
What should I do after a motorcycle accident in Houston?
Call 911, seek immediate medical care, document the scene and your injuries, and avoid speaking with insurance companies before understanding your rights.
Why are motorcycle accident claims harder than car accident claims?
Motorcyclists often face unfair bias from insurers who attempt to shift blame. These cases also involve more severe injuries and higher damages, which insurers aggressively contest.
What types of injuries are common in motorcycle accidents?
Common injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, severe road rash, internal organ damage, amputations, and permanent disability.
What compensation can I recover after a motorcycle accident?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and damage to your motorcycle.
Can I still recover compensation if the driver says I was at fault?
Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are less than 51% responsible, you may still recover damages reduced by your share of fault.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Texas?
Most motorcycle accident claims must be filed within two years of the crash. Acting early helps preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
Do motorcycle accident cases often go to trial?
Many cases settle, but some proceed to trial when insurers refuse to offer fair compensation. Preparing every case for trial improves outcomes.
Why should I hire a Houston motorcycle accident lawyer?
Motorcycle accident cases involve complex liability issues and insurance bias. Legal representation helps protect your rights and pursue full compensation.
