When a crash turns your life upside down, you deserve a fighter in your corner — not a waiting game.
Motorcycle crashes hit differently. You were exposed. Unprotected. And now you're dealing with serious injuries, a totaled bike, mounting medical bills, and an insurance company that's already looking for ways to pay you as little as possible. They know riders often get blamed unfairly — and they count on that.
You shouldn't have to fight the insurance system while you're trying to heal. Every day you wait, evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. And the clock is ticking on your legal rights in Texas. You deserve someone who knows how to go to bat for motorcycle accident victims — and who won't back down.
In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. That may sound like plenty of time, but evidence fades fast. Don't wait — the sooner you connect with an attorney, the better protected your case is.
Nothing upfront. The attorneys in HurtMatch's network work on contingency — meaning you pay no legal fees unless your attorney wins or settles your case. Your match through HurtMatch is also completely free.
First, get to safety and call 911. Seek medical attention even if you feel okay — some injuries show up hours or days later. Document everything: take photos of the scene, your injuries, the other vehicle, and any road conditions. Get witness contact info if you can. Don't give recorded statements to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months once medical treatment is complete and liability is clear. Others that involve disputed fault or complex injuries can take a year or more. Your matched attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation.
Most motorcycle accident cases settle before trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair resolution, your attorney needs to be — and should be — ready to take your case to a Texas courtroom. The attorneys we match you with are prepared to do exactly that.
Texas injury law has unique rules that differ sharply from other states. Knowing them is the difference between a fair outcome and pennies on the dollar.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives you exactly 2 years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your case is over — there is no extension, no exception for "I didn't know I could sue." Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Texas uses Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §33.001. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this rule and aggressively try to push fault percentages above 50%. An experienced attorney pushes back.
Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §74.301). There are no caps in standard auto, premises, or product cases — making attorney negotiation skill the deciding factor in your final number.
