If a motorcycle crash hurt you in McAllen, the other driver's insurer is already looking for a way to blame you. We work to prove what really happened and protect your right to recover.
In Texas you can recover compensation after a motorcycle accident as long as your responsibility is 50% or less. Helmets are not required for all adults, and not wearing one does not automatically cancel your right to claim. What matters most is the evidence of who caused the crash.
In a motorcycle crash the injuries tend to be far more serious than in a car crash, because the rider is exposed. But something else works against you: bias. Many people assume the rider "was reckless" or "had it coming," and the other driver's insurer uses that bias to pay you less or shift the blame onto you.
Our job is to take that bias apart with facts. We reconstruct the accident with the police report, witnesses, traffic or nearby business cameras, and when needed, expert analysis. The real story is almost never the one the insurer wants to tell.
Many people think helmets are mandatory for everyone in Texas. They are not. Here is what the law says:
No. In Texas it is not legal to ride between lanes, known as "lane-splitting." If the other driver claims you were splitting lanes, it does not mean you automatically lose your case, but it is something to handle carefully and with evidence.
Every accident has its own circumstances. What matters is accurately reconstructing who did what, and not letting the insurer's version stand unchallenged.
Because of the lack of protection, motorcycle injuries tend to be serious and costly:
We gather the evidence that protects your side, fight the bias against riders, and deal with the insurer so they do not underpay you. We document the real extent of your injuries, including future costs, not just today's bills.
