Riders face a bias that drivers don't — from insurers and sometimes juries. Overcoming that starts with the evidence.
Motorcycle accidents tend to cause more severe injuries than car accidents, simply because there's no metal frame or airbags between the rider and the road. But riders also face something car accident victims usually don't: an assumption, often unfair, that they were speeding, weaving, or otherwise at fault. Insurance adjusters lean on that assumption to devalue claims. Overcoming it means building a case on evidence — witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction — not on what "usually" happens in motorcycle accidents.
Motorcycle accident injuries are often catastrophic — road rash, fractures, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injury are common even in accidents that would be minor for a car. Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, long-term care costs, and pain and suffering. A free consultation is the fastest way to understand what your case may be worth.
Insurers and juries can carry an unfair bias that riders are inherently reckless, even when the rider did nothing wrong. Overcoming that assumption with clear evidence is often the central challenge.
Yes, Texas requires liability insurance for motorcycles just as it does for cars. If the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured, your own UM/UIM coverage may apply.
It can be raised by the defense to argue comparative fault on the severity of injuries, but it does not automatically bar you from recovering compensation in Texas.
