Motorcycle Accident Claims Require More Than an Insurance Report
Motorcycle accident claims are often more complex than ordinary car accident cases because riders are exposed, injuries are frequently severe and insurers may try to blame the motorcyclist.
Important evidence can disappear quickly. Motorcycles are repaired or totaled, surveillance video is erased, witnesses become harder to locate and phone or vehicle data may be overwritten.
Texas Traffic, Helmet and Insurance Rules May Matter
Texas traffic laws, comparative-fault rules, helmet laws and insurance provisions can affect liability, available coverage and the compensation that may be recovered.
Do Not Assume the Crash Report Tells the Whole Story
Police reports are useful, but they may not include all witness statements, camera footage, phone records, vehicle data, roadway defects or later medical findings.
Multiple Insurance Coverages May Apply
Coverage may come from the at-fault driver, the vehicle owner, an employer, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist policy, medical payments coverage or another responsible party.
