Garza Law works on a contingency-fee basis for qualifying motorcycle injury cases. You pay no upfront attorney’s fees, and we are paid only if we recover compensation for you. This allows injured riders to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer without having to pay attorney’s fees out of pocket while their case is pending.

Yes. The insurance company may dispute fault, minimize your injuries, question your medical treatment, or argue that you contributed to the crash.
Motorcycle cases can be particularly challenging because insurers may attempt to place blame on the rider or rely on stereotypes about motorcyclists. An attorney can investigate the collision, preserve evidence, deal with the insurance companies, document your damages, and pursue the full compensation available under Texas law.

The compensation available depends on the facts of your case and the extent of your injuries. A motorcycle accident claim may include compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost income or earning capacity, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, and damage to your motorcycle and other property.
In cases involving especially serious misconduct, additional damages may also be available under Texas law. The value of any claim depends on the evidence, the injuries and losses involved, available insurance coverage, and the circumstances of the collision.

You may still have a claim. Texas law does not require every adult motorcycle rider to wear a helmet. Riders who are at least 21 may qualify for an exception to the helmet requirement if they have completed an approved motorcycle safety course or have qualifying health insurance coverage.
Even if you were legally required to wear a helmet, not wearing one does not automatically mean you caused the collision. Whether helmet use is relevant to a particular injury or damage claim depends on the facts and evidence in the case.
Texas also follows a modified comparative-responsibility system. You can generally recover damages if you are 50% or less responsible for the accident, although your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you are found more than 50% responsible, Texas law bars recovery.
