I had a really good experience with P. Garza Law after my car accident. Kendra always kept me posted about the case and answered any questions I had. I felt like the whole team actually cared about me and my case. Everything went smoothly, and I’m happy with how it turned out.

After a very very very long process with my case, I can finally say I’m relieved from my case. Such a helpful office. Very outstanding team. Great communication even if I was working most of the time. But they kept me up to date with calls, voicemails, texts and e-mails.

Why motorcycle cases are different
How a Motorcycle Injury Attorney in McAllen Can Protect Your Claim
On a motorcycle, there’s little protection between you and the road. When a crash happens, injuries can be serious. Yet insurance companies shift the blame onto riders to minimize what they pay, even when another driver caused the collision.
Garza Law challenges that approach. We thoroughly investigate the crash, handle the insurance companies on your behalf, and fight to make sure your injuries and losses are fully recognized while you focus on your recovery.
Insurers often see riders as thrill seekers. They use that bias to blame you and cut your claim. You need a lawyer who knows how to fight it.
Who we can hold liable
Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Motorcycle Crash
Most rider crashes start with another driver’s mistake, but responsibility can reach further, and each party may carry its own insurance.
1
The other driver
Left turns across your path, unsafe lane changes, tailgating or failure to yield.
2
The driver’s employer
If the driver was working at the time, such as in a delivery or company vehicle.
3
A trucking company
Commercial truck crashes often add a company policy with higher limits.
4
The manufacturer
A defective motorcycle, tire, brake or other part.
5
The road owner
Potholes, loose gravel, debris or badly designed roadways.
6
The vehicle owner
A separate person or business that owns the other vehicle.
Finding every responsible party can change what your claim is worth. A second defendant often means more insurance coverage for long-term care.

Typical injuries

Speed, lane position or helmet use raised to shift blame onto you.
