Motorcycles offer an affordable way to get around, coupled with a sense of freedom that many riders value. In South Texas, they are a popular choice for daily transportation. However, riding a motorcycle also comes with serious risks. Unlike drivers in passenger vehicles, motorcyclists have very little protection, which makes injuries in an accident far more severe.
Texas law requires most motorcyclists to wear helmets unless they meet specific safety course requirements. Even with proper gear, riders face constant dangers on the road, including distracted drivers, unsafe lane changes, and hazardous conditions.
The motorcycle accident attorneys at The Osiris A. Gonzalez Law Firm have seen firsthand how devastating these crashes can be. We are dedicated to helping injured riders recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and other damages caused by negligence. Our goal is to help you heal and move forward with confidence.

Determining liability is a critical part of any motorcycle accident claim. In many cases, more than one party may share responsibility for the crash, and a thorough investigation is needed to identify every potentially liable actor.
Depending on the circumstances, several different parties can be held legally responsible for a motorcycle accident, including:
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover compensation if you are partially at fault, as long as your responsibility does not exceed 50%.
Your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% responsible, your recovery will be reduced by 20%. This makes it essential to have experienced legal representation to protect your claim.
Motorcycle accident victims may be entitled to recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. If you were injured in a Texas motorcycle accident, you may be able to seek compensation for:
There is no fixed settlement for motorcycle accidents because every case is different. Depending on the severity of your injuries, how clearly the other party’s negligence can be proven, and whether the crash caused permanent disability, your claim could range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to several million dollars.
As a general ballpark, minor motorcycle crashes with short‑term medical treatment and little time off work may fall in the low five‑figure range, while more serious cases involving broken bones, surgery, or long‑term recovery often land in the six‑figure range.
Catastrophic accidents, such as those causing traumatic brain injuries, spinal‑cord damage, or amputations, can reach into the seven‑figure range when liability is clear and damages are properly documented.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means you must file your lawsuit within that timeframe or risk losing your right to recover compensation. However, certain circumstances can affect this deadline, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
In Texas, you are only legally required to wear a helmet if you have not completed an approved motorcycle safety‑training course. Even if you were not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, you may still be able to recover compensation. Insurance companies may argue that your injuries were made worse by not wearing a helmet, but that does not automatically bar your claim. A skilled lawyer can help show that the other party’s negligence caused the accident and your injuries, regardless of helmet use.
Yes, Texas law allows you to recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of responsibility. An experienced attorney can help minimize your assigned fault and protect your claim.
Most motorcycle accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay anything upfront, and your attorney only gets paid if you win your case. This allows injured victims to pursue justice without worrying about immediate legal costs.
You should bring any documents related to your accident, including medical records, police reports, photos, and insurance information. These materials help your attorney evaluate your case more accurately. Even if you do not have everything, you should still schedule a consultation to get started.
