Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still recover compensation if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Helmet rules vary by state. Texas, for example, does not require helmets for riders over 21 who meet certain criteria. Even if you weren't wearing a helmet, you may still recover compensation, though the defense may argue contributory negligence. An attorney can help protect your claim.
Why are motorcycle accident claims different?
Motorcycle claims involve unique factors: injuries tend to be more severe, rider bias can affect outcomes, accident reconstruction differs from car accidents, and insurance companies often try harder to reduce payouts.
