What should I do after a motorcycle accident in Austin?

First, seek medical attention—even if you feel OK. Then call 911, document the scene, get information from other parties and witnesses, and photograph vehicle damage and surroundings. Finally, reach out to an experienced Austin motorcycle accident lawyer to protect your rights.

Who is responsible for motorcycle accidents in Austin?

In most cases, negligent drivers—due to not seeing motorcycles, speeding, or turning improperly—are at fault. Sometimes hazardous road conditions or driving behaviors play a role. We investigate all contributing factors to establish clear liability.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Texas follows modified comparative negligence: you can recover damages as long as you’re under 50% at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Austin?

Texas typically gives you two years from the accident date under Texas Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. Acting quickly is important to preserve accident evidence and your legal rights.

Are helmets required in Texas for motorcycle insurance claims?

Texas requires helmets for riders under age 21. For adults, not wearing a helmet may be raised by insurance companies, but generally doesn’t bar your recovery or greatly reduce your claim.

How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?

Case value depends on treatment costs, income lost, injury severity, rehab needs, and long-term limitations. Our attorneys work with medical and economic experts to assess and pursue maximum compensation.
