Texas Motorcycle Laws

Motorcyclists in Texas must comply with a specific set of laws. These laws can also impact your accident case, particularly when it comes to fault and insurance claims.

  • Helmet Law: Texas requires motorcyclists under 21 to wear a helmet. Riders over 21 may ride without one if they have completed a state-approved Motorcycle Operator Training Course and carry at least $10,000 in medical insurance coverage.
  • Lane Splitting: Lane splitting (riding between traffic lanes) is illegal in Texas.
  • License Requirement: Riders must obtain a Class M motorcycle license.
  • Passenger Rules: Passengers are only allowed if the motorcycle has a permanent seat and footrests for them.

Violating traffic or motorcycle-specific laws can influence the outcome of your injury claim, especially under Texas’s comparative fault system. We’ll help make sure you understand your rights and how the law applies to your case.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face numerous risks on the road, especially when other drivers fail to exercise caution. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in San Antonio include:

  • Driver negligence or inattention – Many motorcycle crashes occur because other drivers fail to notice motorcycles due to their smaller size.
  • Unsafe lane changes – Motorists who do not check their blind spots can sideswipe or cut off motorcyclists.
  • Left-turn accidents – Drivers often misjudge the speed or distance of an oncoming motorcycle when making a left turn.
  • Speeding and reckless driving – High-speed collisions increase the risk of serious injuries or fatalities.
  • Driving under the influence – Alcohol and drug impairment remain a major factor in motorcycle-related crashes.
  • Hazardous road conditions – Potholes, loose gravel, and poor signage pose greater dangers for motorcycles than for other vehicles.
  • Mechanical failure or defective parts – Equipment malfunctions can lead to loss of control or braking failures.

Common Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Because motorcycles lack the protective shell of a car, the injuries sustained in a crash are often severe. Common injuries include:

Many of these injuries require extensive medical treatment, long-term care, and significant time away from work. Our San Antonio motorcycle accident lawyer will ensure your financial recovery accounts for the full impact of your injuries.

Compensation from a Motorcycle Crash

If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to several forms of compensation, including:

  • Medical expenses – hospital bills, surgery, rehabilitation, prescription medications, and future care costs
  • Lost wages – time off work during recovery or permanent loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering – physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life
  • Property damage – repairs or replacement of your motorcycle and gear
  • Wrongful death damages – in the event of a fatal motorcycle crash, surviving family members may pursue compensation for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and other losses

At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., we will calculate the total value of your claim and negotiate aggressively on your behalf.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs

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

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to compensation.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet during the crash?

If you were legally allowed to ride without a helmet, it might not impact your case. However, the insurance company may still try to argue that your injuries were worsened due to not wearing one. We can help counter these claims.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you were less than 51% responsible for the accident, you can still recover compensation—though it will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Do I need a lawyer for a motorcycle accident claim?

Having an experienced San Antonio motorcycle accident lawyer greatly improves your chances of receiving a fair settlement. We handle the legal process while you focus on healing.

How Insurance Companies Treat Injured Motorcyclists

Unfortunately, insurance companies often view motorcyclists unfairly. They may assume you were reckless or automatically assign you a higher degree of fault. Common insurance tactics include:

  • Offering quick, lowball settlements
  • Blaming the rider for the crash
  • Disputing the severity of your injuries
  • Delaying the claims process
  • Denying valid claims

Don't let insurers take advantage of you. Our experienced legal team knows how to push back against these tactics and protect your right to full and fair compensation.

  • "They made a significant recovery for me."

    My husband was injured in a workplace accident in 2022. The first law firm he went to looked at his case and turned it down. he had all but decided to give up when he called the Kemmy's. They took his case and ran with it. In the end, they made a significant recovery for me. I highly recommend the Kemmy Law Firm.

    Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me.
