Motorcyle Accident Lawyer

Riders already understand something most drivers never think about. Every time you get on a motorcycle, you accept the inherent risks that come with riding, the wind, the weather, the road conditions, the physics of two wheels. That's the deal, and riders accept it willingly because they love what they do.

 

What riders do not accept, and what the law does not require anyone to accept, is the risk of a driver who doesn't check their mirror before changing lanes, who turns left across an intersection without seeing the motorcycle coming straight at them, who opens a car door into traffic without a single glance.

Those aren't risks inherent to motorcycling. Those are risks created by someone else's negligence, and when a 4,000-pound vehicle collides with a rider who has no steel cage, no airbags, and no crumple zones, the rider absorbs the full force of the impact.

If you're reading this after a motorcycle accident, I want you to know that I see you. I see the discipline it takes to ride, the awareness, the preparation, the respect and passion you have for the road. Riders show up differently. They pay attention in ways most people on four wheels never have to. And when someone else's carelessness puts you down, you deserve a lawyer who respects what you bring to the table and fights accordingly.

The Bias (And How We Fight It)

Let me be straight with you about something that every motorcycle accident lawyer should tell you. There is a bias against riders, and it lives in insurance adjusters' offices and sometimes in jury boxes. The assumption is that motorcyclists are reckless, that they were probably speeding, that they were weaving through traffic, that somehow they brought this on themselves, or assumed the risk.

Those biases and assumptions are wrong, but pretending they don't exist won't help you.

Our job is to confront it directly with evidence and build a case so clear that the jury sees the rider as who they actually are: someone's parent, someone's child, someone's best friend, who was following the rules of the road and got hurt because another driver violated the rules that keep us all safe.

Every driver has a legal obligation to share the road safely with motorcycles. That obligation does not shrink because the other vehicle is smaller.

If anything, it grows, because the consequences of failing to see a motorcycle are so much more severe.

Your Rights as a Rider in Texas

Texas comparative fault, or proportionate responsibility, applies to motorcycle cases the same way it applies to any other accident. Even if the insurance company argues you were partially at fault, you can still recover as long as your responsibility is below 51%. But this is where the bias we mentioned shows up most aggressively, inflated fault percentages assigned to the rider based on assumptions rather than evidence.

We push back on every one of those arguments.

 

San Antonio's climate and the beautiful, winding Hill Country roads west and north of the city make this one of the best places in Texas for riding. Riders are on these roads year-round, and drivers have every reason to expect motorcycles at every intersection, in every lane, every day. The excuse "I didn't see them" doesn't hold up when motorcycles are a constant, visible part of the traffic environment.
