Motorcycle Accidents

413 people died in motorcycle accidents in Texas during 2019 – and the numbers continue to climb year after year. Motorcycle accidents are extremely dangerous. Bikers have a higher risk for accidents per mile driven than any other driver, and their injuries are more severe than those sustained in a typical car accident.

When a traumatic injury occurs, it’s important that you contact a motorcycle accident attorney who understands Texas law to provide you with the best representation. More information

Unlike many states which require motorcycle helmets for all motorcycle riders, Texas allows riders to operate without a helmet under certain circumstances:

If the motorcyclist is over 21 years of age and has successfully completed a motorcycle training and safety course, per Chapter 662 of the Texas Transportation Code.
If the motorcycle rider is covered by a health insurance plan providing at least $10,000 minimum in medical benefits for injuries incurred as a result of an accident while operating a motorcycle.
Although studies have shown that wearing a helmet lowers a motorcyclist’s risk of fatal injury by 29% and reduces the risk of traumatic brain injury by 67 %, many bike riders choose not to wear them. Because bike riders are more likely to suffer a fatal or severe injury, the long-term effects of a motorcycle accident can wreak personal and financial havoc on the victim and their families for years to come.

Remain at the scene of the motorcycle accident.
Call the police immediately or have someone call the police for you.
