Use Our Texas Motorcycle Accident Lawyer's Expertise
Choose Houston Injury Attorneys Experienced in Handling Motorcycle Crash Claims
While riding a motorcycle allows for more freedom than driving a car, it can come with a cost. Due to the lack of protective barriers, injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident can be much more serious and life-threatening than injuries sustained in a car crash. Common motorcycle injuries include head trauma, broken bones, burns, and even spinal cord injuries.
In 2008, there were 516 fatal motorcycle accidents in Texas alone according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Unfortunately, car and truck drivers in Texas who have a responsibility to safely share the road with motorcyclists often fail to exercise due care, resulting in hundreds of serious or fatal motorcycle accidents each year.
Texas Motorcycle Accident Statistic:
Of the 4,619 fatal vehicle accidents that took place during 2008, 527 motorcycles were involved. This shows that through 2008 motorcycles were involved in more than 1 in 10 fatal vehicle accidents.
In addition to traffic accidents, motorcyclists are also more susceptible to accidents and serious injuries resulting from dangerous roadways and debris. And on some occasions, motorcycle accidents can result from defective or malfunctioning motorcycle parts.

Establishing Negligence & Liability After a Texas Motorcycle Accident
As the victim of a Texas motorcycle accident, it is your responsibility to prove that the other driver, city or government entity, motorcycle manufacturer, or repair company was to blame for your accident and injuries.
It must be made clear – through evidence and witness and/or expert testimony – that the other party did not exercise “due care” (negligence) and as a result, their negligent actions (causation) caused the accident and the injuries you sustained in the accident (damages).
Texas Motorcycle Accident Compensation
Personal injury claims can be complicated and overwhelming, especially when you are in pain and suffering from serious injuries. Your focus should be on recovering, not on engaging in a legal battle on your own. It is important to contact a Texas motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as possible so they can assume the legal burden of your accident and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
If you have suffered a motorcycle accident you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- current and future medical expenses;
- time you lost from work;
- property damage;
- rehabilitation and physical therapy costs;
- pain and suffering; and/or
- other economic and non-economic factors.
Without an experienced Texas accident attorney on your side, the insurance company may take advantage of your fragile state and inexperience and look to settle your personal injury claim as quickly as possible and for the lowest amount possible – usually too low to cover your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and other accident-related expenses. Sadly, they will be looking out for their best interests, not yours or your family’s.
Expertise for Your Motorcycle Accident Claim
The attorneys at Kennedy Hodges & Solomon in Houston will negotiate with the negligent party’s insurance company on your behalf and represent your best interests in court if the insurance company is not willing to give you the compensation you deserve for your medical and personal expenses following a serious motorcycle accident.
