Motorcycle Accident Attorney Matching
Riders face bias from insurers and catastrophic injuries. We match you with a Texas motorcycle accident attorney who fights that bias.
Vetted Texas Attorneys
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users in Texas — exposed to the full force of a collision with almost no structural protection. Yet when crashes happen, insurers frequently blame the rider first, regardless of the facts. Texas Crash Network is not a law firm. We connect injured riders and their families with vetted Texas attorneys who specialize in motorcycle cases and who know how to counter the bias riders face every step of the way.
Common causes of Texas motorcycle crashes
The majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers, not riders. The most common scenarios in Texas include:
- Left-turn collisions — the #1 cause of multi-vehicle motorcycle fatalities
- Drivers running red lights or stop signs at intersections
- Distracted drivers drifting into a rider's lane
- Unsafe lane changes without checking blind spots
- Road hazards — potholes, debris, uneven pavement
- Rear-end collisions at highway speeds
The injuries riders face
With no steel frame, crumple zones, or airbags between a rider and the road, motorcycle injuries are among the most severe in traffic law:
- Traumatic brain injuries — even with a helmet
- Spinal cord damage and partial or full paralysis
- Severe road rash, skin grafts, and disfigurement
- Multiple fractures — wrists, arms, legs, and pelvis
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
Texas motorcycle helmet law and your claim
Texas Transportation Code § 661.003 requires riders under 21 to wear a DOT-approved helmet. Riders 21 and older may ride without one if they carry at least $10,000 in medical coverage or have completed an approved safety course. If you were riding without a helmet, the defense will argue comparative fault. The attorney we match you with is prepared to counter that argument and minimize any reduction in your recovery.
Texas comparative fault and motorcycle cases
Texas uses a modified comparative fault system (Chapter 33, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code). This means:
- You can recover even if you were partly at fault — up to 50%
- Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault
- If you are found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing
- Insurers use this rule aggressively to inflate a rider's fault percentage
Overcoming insurance bias
Insurers often assume the rider was speeding or riding recklessly — before any investigation. The attorney we match you with reconstructs the crash using police reports, witness accounts, and physical evidence to establish the true facts and protect your right to full compensation.
What you may recover
Injured riders commonly pursue medical expenses (including future rehabilitation), lost wages and earning capacity, motorcycle repair or replacement, pain and suffering, and mental anguish. In cases involving gross negligence — such as a drunk driver — punitive damages may also be available. The attorney we connect you with works on a no-win, no-fee contingency basis.
