Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents in Texas
How long do I have to file in Texas?
Generally, you have two years from the crash date to file a claim. Some claims have shorter or longer limits. Contact us quickly so we can protect evidence and meet every deadline.
What if I’m partly at fault?
Texas follows proportionate responsibility. You can recover if you are 50 percent or less at fault. Any recovery may be reduced by your share. We investigate to lower that percentage.
Do I have to wear a helmet in Texas?
Riders and passengers under 21 must wear helmets. Riders 21 and older may qualify for an exemption under Texas law. A safe, DOT-compliant helmet protects you and your claim.
Is lane splitting legal in Texas?
No. Texas law prohibits operating a motorcycle between lanes of traffic moving in the same direction.
Should I give a recorded statement?
No, not before you receive legal advice. Adjusters are trained to use statements against you. We handle insurer communications so you can focus on recovery.
What damages can I claim?
You can claim the following damages after a motorcycle accident:
- Medical bills
- Future care
- Past and future pain and suffering
- Past and future emotional distress
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Bike repair or total loss
- Gear replacement
- Diminished value
We document each category with records and experts.
What does it cost to hire you as my motorcycle accident law firm?
There are no upfront fees when you work with Tate Accident Law. We work on contingency, so you do not pay attorney’s fees unless we win. Although most firms’ fees go up, ours stay flat through the whole process.
