A motorcycle crash changes everything in an instant. You're dealing with serious injuries, a totaled bike, mounting medical bills, and lost income — all while insurance adjusters are already working against you. It's overwhelming. You shouldn't have to fight this battle alone.

Riders are often unfairly blamed when crashes happen. Insurance companies use that bias to lowball settlements or deny claims entirely. You deserve an attorney who knows how to push back — one who understands what you're up against and won't let them get away with it.

Real Scenarios We Match Daily

A Fort Worth rider was sideswiped on I-30 by a driver who changed lanes without signaling. The rider suffered broken bones and road rash requiring surgery. An attorney helped document the driver's negligence and negotiated with the insurance carrier on the victim's behalf.
A motorcyclist was rear-ended at a stoplight near downtown Fort Worth. The at-fault driver's insurer initially offered far less than the medical bills alone. The rider's attorney built a strong liability case and pushed for a significantly improved outcome.
A rider on Loop 820 hit a large pothole that the city had received prior complaints about. An attorney investigated the maintenance history, identified government liability, and filed within the strict Texas notice deadlines to protect the client's rights.

Questions

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Texas?

In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim. Don't wait — contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

How much does it cost to hire a motorcycle accident attorney?

Nothing upfront. The attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you win your case. There are no hidden fees, no retainers, and no out-of-pocket costs to get started.

What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident in Fort Worth?

Call 911 and get medical attention right away — even if you feel okay. Document the scene with photos if you can. Get the other driver's insurance and contact information. Don't give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.

How long does a motorcycle accident case typically take in Texas?

Every case is different. Some settle within a few months once liability is clear and injuries are documented. Others involving disputed fault or serious injuries may take a year or longer. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.

What if I was partially at fault for the crash?

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you are found to be 50% or less at fault — though your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney can help evaluate your case and protect you from being assigned unfair blame.

What Texas Law Means For Your Motorcycle Accident Case

In Fort Worth, Texas, injury cases follow the same statewide rules — but local courts and insurance adjusters have their own patterns. The attorney we match you with knows them.

The 2-Year Deadline

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.

Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)

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.

Damage Caps You Should Know

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.

What To Do Right Now

  1. Get medical care immediately. Insurance companies argue any gap in treatment means you weren't really hurt.
  2. Do not give a recorded statement. Adjusters call within hours of a crash to lock you into damaging admissions. Decline politely.
  3. Save everything. Photos, medical records, bills, work-loss documentation, witness contacts.
  4. Get matched with an attorney before you sign anything. Settlement releases are final.
