El Paso Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcyclists have the same rights as other drivers. When a negligent driver injures you, we fight for everything you're owed.
El Paso's warm climate makes it a year-round motorcycle city — but that also means year-round risk of serious accidents caused by drivers who don't watch for motorcyclists. When a car or truck driver's negligence causes a motorcycle crash, the results are often catastrophic: broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injury, spinal damage, and worse.
Unfortunately, motorcycle accident victims often face an additional hurdle: bias. Insurance adjusters and juries sometimes assume motorcyclists are at fault. We fight that bias aggressively. We investigate every detail, document the other driver's negligence, and present a powerful case on your behalf.
Under Texas law, motorcyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as any other vehicle operator. Drivers who fail to yield, change lanes unsafely, or run red lights and strike motorcyclists are fully liable for the damages they cause.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in El Paso
Texas Motorcycle Laws and Your Rights
Texas law treats motorcycles as full vehicles on the road. Drivers have the same duty of care toward motorcyclists as toward other vehicles. The Texas Transportation Code §545.0516 requires drivers to maintain a safe passing distance. Failure to do so — and any resulting injury — creates liability.
Texas modified comparative fault (§33.001) may reduce your recovery if you were partially at fault — for example, if you were speeding. We fight to minimize any fault attributed to you and maximize what you recover.
You have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim (§16.003). Call us immediately — evidence fades fast.
