Drivers of motorcycles are especially vulnerable on the roads and highways of Texas. Due to their small profile, lack of a protective frame, and the relative size and weight differences between a motorcycle and other vehicles on the road, any injuries from a motorcycle accident are often severe with only a relatively minor impact.
If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a motorcycle accident, as a driver or passenger, caused by another person, you have legal rights and may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. The SCV Law Firm, PLLC, has a team of legal professionals to assist you in obtaining the maximum compensation possible for your bodily injuries, financial losses, and pain and suffering.
Riding a motorcycle offers freedom and connection to the open road, but it also carries inherent physical vulnerability. Motorcyclists lack the seatbelts, airbags, and enclosed metal cages that protect passenger car occupants. When a passenger car or truck collides with a motorcycle, the rider absorbs direct impact. The resulting injuries are often catastrophic, including traumatic brain injury, broken limbs, spinal trauma, road rash, and permanent physical limitations.
At SCV Law Firm, PLLC, we stand up for injured riders. Most motorcycle crashes are caused by automobile drivers who fail to look, fail to yield, or follow too closely. We push back against insurance adjusters who rely on unfair stereotypes about motorcyclists, working to establish that you were riding responsibly and that the automobile driver was at fault. Our legal team acts fast to preserve evidence, calculate your long-term medical care expenses, and demand fair financial compensation for emergency room treatment, rehabilitation, and lost wages.
Insurance adjusters frequently argue that riders were speeding, weaving, or assumed the risk of injury. In Texas, modified comparative fault bars recovery if a jury assigns you over 50 percent of the blame. In North Carolina, pure contributory negligence bars recovery if you are found even 1 percent at fault. Insurers use these rules aggressively against riders.
Our attorneys counter insurer bias with concrete physical facts. We examine tire marks, scrape patterns on the asphalt, vehicle crush angles, and traffic camera footage to prove the automobile driver made an unsafe left turn or merged without checking their blind spot. We also assist you with motorcycle repairs, riding gear replacement, and custom parts valuation without charging extra fees for property damage.
In most cases, the turning car driver is at fault for failing to yield right-of-way to oncoming traffic. Drivers have a legal duty to wait until the intersection is clear before initiating a turn.
Not wearing a helmet does not automatically bar you from seeking compensation if you complied with state licensing and safety requirements. The other driver is still responsible for causing the collision.
Yes. In addition to personal injury damages, our legal team helps you recover compensation for damaged riding leathers, helmets, boots, and aftermarket motorcycle accessories.
Call 911 so police file a formal report and paramedics evaluate your injuries. Take photos of vehicle damage, road debris, and license plates. Avoid giving recorded statements to the insurance company before consulting an attorney.
