Motorcycle crashes are often severe because riders have less protection than people inside cars and trucks. A driver who looks down for a second, turns left without yielding, or drifts into a lane can cause life-changing injuries.
After the crash, the insurance company may move quickly. Adjusters may ask for a recorded statement. They may suggest you were speeding, weaving, or “hard to see.” They may offer a fast settlement before the full cost of your injuries is clear.
Jim Adler & Associates can step in, protect your claim, and deal with the insurance company while you focus on medical care and recovery.
Motorcycle accident claims usually depend on proving that another person or company caused the crash through careless or unsafe conduct. In Texas, liable parties may include:
Texas law also uses proportionate responsibility. In general, an injured person may be barred from recovery if they are found more than 50% responsible. That is one reason early evidence matters.
Jim Adler & Associates handles serious motorcycle crash cases involving:
Every crash has its own facts. Our job is to investigate what happened, identify every responsible party, and pursue the compensation available under the law.
Motorcycle cases are not just “car accident cases on two wheels.” Riders often face unfair assumptions. Insurance companies may try to use anti-motorcycle bias to reduce or deny a claim.
These cases may also involve complex evidence, including:
In commercial vehicle cases, additional records may matter, including driver logs, dispatch records, inspection files, and company safety policies.
After a crash, small decisions can affect your claim. Try to avoid these common mistakes:
When Jim Adler & Associates takes on a motorcycle accident case, our team works to build the claim from the ground up. That may include:
Insurance companies build their defenses early. Injured riders should have someone building the evidence early, too.
Motorcycle accidents can cause injuries that affect every part of life. Common injuries include:
A motorcycle accident claim may include compensation for:
No lawyer can promise what a case is worth without reviewing the evidence, insurance coverage, injuries, medical records, and fault issues.
You are not required to hire a lawyer, but motorcycle accident claims can become difficult quickly. Insurance companies may blame the rider, dispute injuries, or offer less than the claim may be worth. A lawyer can investigate the crash, handle insurance communication, and pursue available compensation.
Texas generally gives injured people two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims also generally have a two-year deadline that runs from the date of death. Some facts can affect deadlines, so it is important to get guidance quickly.
Call 911, get medical care, take photos if you safely can, collect witness information, and avoid making statements about fault. Keep your damaged motorcycle, helmet, and riding gear if possible. Then contact a motorcycle accident lawyer before speaking in detail with the insurance company.
Do not assume the insurance company is right. Adjusters may blame riders even when a driver failed to yield, changed lanes unsafely, or was distracted. Evidence such as photos, witness statements, video, vehicle damage, and reconstruction analysis can help challenge unfair blame.
Possibly. Helmet use may become an issue, especially in head injury cases, but it does not automatically decide fault for the crash. The facts of the collision, the injuries, and Texas law all matter.
The value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, future care needs, pain and suffering, insurance coverage, and fault disputes. A lawyer can evaluate your case after reviewing the evidence and medical records.
Helpful evidence may include police reports, crash scene photos, video footage, witness statements, medical records, motorcycle damage, helmet and gear evidence, cell phone records, and expert analysis.
Certain family members may be able to bring a wrongful death claim after a fatal motorcycle crash. These cases can involve funeral expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and other damages allowed by Texas law.
