Insurance companies assume riders are reckless before they even look at the facts. That bias costs you money. We fight it from day one, with evidence, not assumptions.

If you were in a car and got hit, the insurance company starts by looking at what happened. If you were on a motorcycle, they often start by assuming you were speeding, weaving, or riding recklessly, even when the evidence says otherwise.
This bias shows up in a few specific ways:
Adjusters lowball claims faster. Motorcycle claims get discounted before a full investigation, on the assumption a jury will do the same.
Drivers routinely say “I never saw them.” That’s not an excuse. Motorcycles are smaller and harder to spot, and drivers have a legal duty to look for them anyway.
Injuries get treated as “expected” for a rider. Insurers try to frame catastrophic injuries as an inherent risk you accepted by riding, not as a result of someone else’s negligence.
Fighting that bias with real evidence, not assumptions, is the core of how we build a motorcycle case.
There’s no metal frame or airbag between a rider and the road. When a car and a motorcycle collide, the physics are never equal.
Common motorcycle accident injuries:
These injuries mean longer recovery, higher medical costs, and a bigger fight over what your case is actually worth.
Left-turn accidents. The most common cause of car-versus-motorcycle collisions. A driver turns left in front of an oncoming rider, misjudging the motorcycle’s speed or not seeing it at all. → Learn more about left-turn accidents
Lane change accidents. A driver merges or changes lanes without checking their blind spot, where a motorcycle is far easier to miss than a car.
Rear-end collisions. Riders are especially vulnerable when hit from behind, with little to absorb the impact.
Road hazard accidents. Potholes, debris, uneven pavement, or poor road maintenance can cause a rider to lose control, sometimes due to the property owner’s or city’s negligence in maintaining the road.
Dooring accidents. A parked car’s door opens directly into a rider’s path with no warning.
We also handle accidents involving unsafe lane splitting by other drivers, defective motorcycle parts, and multi-vehicle crashes involving a rider.
Evidence in a motorcycle case disappears fast, and because riders are already fighting an uphill battle against bias, strong evidence matters even more than in a typical car accident case. Skid marks fade, the motorcycle gets towed and repaired or scrapped, and nearby camera footage gets recorded over within days.
Getting a lawyer involved early means locking down the physical evidence, gathering witness statements before memories fade, and getting ahead of the insurance company’s version of events before it becomes the only version on record.
Identifying every responsible party matters, because it can mean more than one source of compensation for your injuries.
Texas follows a rule called modified comparative negligence. If you are found to be 51 percent or more at fault for the crash, you cannot recover anything at all. If you are found 50 percent or less at fault, you can still recover, but your compensation is reduced by your share of the blame.
This is exactly why insurance companies work so hard to pin fault on the rider, and why the bias against motorcyclists we mentioned earlier isn’t just unfair, it has a direct dollar impact on your claim. Fighting that fight with evidence, not just your word against theirs, is one of the most important things a lawyer does in a motorcycle accident case.
In cases involving especially reckless conduct, additional damages may be available. We will look at the full picture of what this crash has cost you, today and going forward.
Some injuries are harder to prove than others, especially ones insurance companies love to downplay. If you're dealing with one of these, these pages go into more detail on what your case may involve.

We move fast on evidence. We move fast on evidence. In a motorcycle case, speed wins even more, since riders are already fighting bias. We act early to preserve records before insurers can shape the narrative.
We know Houston. From the Katy Freeway to the Ship Channel corridor, we understand the roads, the traffic, and the freight patterns behind these crashes, and we build cases around that knowledge.
We are right by the Medical Center. Our office on Blodgett Street sits minutes from the Texas Medical Center and the Museum District, close to where serious injuries are treated.
You pay nothing unless we win. We work on a contingency fee. No upfront cost, and a fee only if we recover for you.
Insurance companies often approach motorcycle claims with more bias than car accident claims. We build your case with strong evidence specifically to counter that bias from the start.
Not wearing a helmet does not automatically bar you from recovery in Texas, though it may be raised as a factor. Every case depends on its specific facts.
You may still be able to recover, as long as you were not found more than 50 percent at fault.
In most cases, two years from the date of the accident.
We work on a contingency fee. No upfront cost, and a fee only if we recover for you.
The insurance company already has assumptions working against you. The call is free, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
