Most accidents with a motorcycle cause injuries to the rider as well as damage to the bike. A motorcycle does not provide the surrounding protective structure that a vehicle does, so the motorcyclist is usually much more vulnerable to injury in a crash than those who are in a car or truck.

My wife and I were in a serious accident and she sustained serious injuries. John was recommended by a co-worker. I have never had to deal with injuries due to a car wreck and the negligence of someone else so I was in unfamiliar territory. John was very understanding and patient and took the time to meet with us anytime we had questions and Mrs. Alvarez was on top of everything and very professional. I hope and pray we never have to go through this again but if we do John will be my first call.

Anderson Cummings did a wonderful job representing me after a terrible car multi-car wreck with an underinsured motorist at fault. John Cummings was very knowledgeable, professional, conscientious, detail oriented, and empathetic to what I had gone through and helped me navigate a situation that I had no experience with. Ms. Alvarez also worked with me and was very helpful with my questions and communication. I would highly recommend their practice for your legal needs.

Drivers in Texas face various challenges, many of which stem from avoidable behaviors. According to DriveSafe Online, some of the most common driving mistakes in Texas include:
There are several ways you may be able to recover compensation after a motorcycle accident. A successful motorcycle accident attorney in Dallas will review the details of your accident and injuries to identify the types of claims that may be appropriate in your case. This may include:
Most motorcycle accidents are initially handled through an insurance claim. Depending on the types of coverage you and the at-fault party have, auto insurance may pay for motorcycle repair or replacement, medical expenses, rental cars, court costs, and other expenses.
Our Dallas motorcycle accident lawyers have decades of experience working with insurance companies and can handle the details of your claim for you. We are familiar with the many tactics insurers often use to limit payouts for injury claims and know what it takes to bring a successful claim.
If the accident was caused by another’s negligence, it may be possible to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional compensation not provided by insurance. This could include compensation for your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other non-economic damages.
However, filing a lawsuit requires proving that another’s actions caused your injuries. In order to do this, we will have to prove that another party was negligent, which requires providing evidence showing that the other party failed to exercise a reasonable standard of care. This could include failing to follow traffic laws or acting in a reckless and careless manner.
If your injuries were fully or partially caused by a defective part in one of the vehicles involved in the accident, you may be able to receive compensation from the manufacturer of that faulty part.
Defective items can include:
If the defective part was designed or manufactured improperly, the manufacturer could be held partially or fully liable for the accident.
Our motorcycle accident attorneys in Dallas can determine if a defective product contributed to your accident and then fight for maximum compensation for you.
In some cases, a government employee or individual may be responsible for causing a motorcycle accident. This could include situations where a government employee driving a government vehicle crashes into a motorcycle. It could also include accidents caused by poor road design or maintenance such as:
Your Dallas motorcycle accident attorney may be able to recover compensatory damages for you from the city, county, state or federal entity that is responsible for the accident. These agencies have a responsibility to ensure the roads under their jurisdiction are as safe as possible. If they were negligent in their responsibilities for creating and maintaining the road, it may be possible to hold them responsible.
Our Dallas motorcycle accident lawyers will thoroughly review the details of your accident to help you determine the best options available to you for pursuing the compensation you deserve.
No Fees Unless We Win
In Texas, there are short deadlines for filing motorcycle accident claims.
Because of this, you should always contact the insurance company as soon as possible following a collision to help make sure you are filing a claim within the time limits outlined in the policy.
There are also separate deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits in Texas. The statute of limitations is a legal deadline set by the state that defines how long you have to file a personal injury case. Because evidence can degrade or be lost over time and witnesses may not remember every detail of the accident, statutes of limitations help provide full and timely justice.
The deadline for most personal injury cases, including those involving motorcycle accidents and product liability, is two years. The timeframe begins on the day the accident occurred.
Additionally, if you have a claim against a municipality, the Texas Toxic Tort Claims Act requires that the government entity responsible for an accident be notified of your intent to file a lawsuit within six months of the accident. Claims against the city of Fort Worth or other local governments may have even shorter deadlines.
Because of these deadlines, it is important to contact a dependable motorcycle accident lawyer in Dallas quickly after a crash so your case can be filed on time. It takes time for a legal team to gather all of the information regarding the accident and prepare the documents needed for your case. A Dallas motorcycle accident attorney can get to work right away for you as soon as you contact our firm.
When a large corporation or insurance company says ‘no,’ we see it as the beginning of a conversation, not the end. We will not be intimidated, and we will not rest until we have exhausted every avenue to secure the compensation you’re owed.
Texas has a law called proportionate responsibility, also known as contributory negligence, which says an injury victim cannot recover compensation from a personal injury lawsuit if his or her percentage of responsibility for the accident is greater than 50 percent.
If the injury victim was less than 50 percent responsible, he or she may be able to recover compensation. However, the recovery amount will be reduced by the injury victim’s percentage of responsibility. For example, if you were found to be 20 percent liable for your injuries because you were speeding at the time of the accident, your compensation award will be reduced by 20 percent. If your case was worth $10,000, you would only be able to recover $8,000.
An experienced Dallas motorcycle accident attorney can help make sure you are not blamed for more than your share of responsibility for the accident. Both insurance companies and the other party’s attorneys will likely attempt to use the proportionate responsibility rule to limit your compensation, so it is important to have a motorcycle accident lawyer on your side to defend your right to compensation.
Across the U.S., road accidents of all kinds have been increasing in recent years. In 2016, there were 496 motorcyclist deaths in Texas – 463 drivers and 33 passengers. There were also 2,008 incapacitating motorcyclist injuries.

Before agreeing to any settlement, talk with a Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer you trust. Insurance companies may pressure you into a quick payout that seems helpful, but often falls short. Once you sign, you give up the chance to recover more if your condition worsens.
Before accepting anything, consider:
According to Texas Law Help, optional coverages, like Medical Payments Coverage or Personal Injury Protection (PIP), can offer partial relief, but only an attorney can determine if the offer meets your needs.
Even without health insurance, you still have options for covering medical costs. Victims in Texas may qualify for compensation through insurance and legal avenues.
You may be able to use:
As noted by the Consumer Guides Automotive Association, MedPay can bridge gaps but comes with deductibles. Though optional, it’s widely available and useful for riders.
If the driver who caused your motorcycle accident doesn’t have insurance or enough to cover your damages, you may still have options. Many Texas riders have uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. It can help pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and rehab costs.
Texas law requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage when you buy a policy. Unless you declined it in writing, you may already have it. A Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer can review your policy, explain your rights, and help you file a UM/UIM claim.
You can still hire a motorcycle accident attorney, and doing so quickly is critical. Statements made to an insurer might be used to reduce your claim, but a qualified lawyer can correct the record and protect your rights.
Risks of early communication without counsel include:
A lawyer can help you avoid these pitfalls and stay focused on your recovery.
When you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, you may be
If you’ve lost a loved one in a motorcycle crash, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim. Texas law allows spouses, children, and parents to seek damages for:
A compassionate Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer can help your family understand your rights and pursue justice. While no amount replaces your loss, legal action can provide financial relief.
Yes, you can still pursue a claim without a helmet. Texas doesn’t require helmets for all riders, and not wearing one doesn’t automatically block recovery.
Insurers may argue your injuries were worse because of it. Under Texas’s comparative fault rules, if you’re 51% or more at fault, you may be barred from compensation.
