Free Case ReviewFort Worth Lane Splitting Accident Lawyers
Lane splitting — riding between lanes of slow-moving or stopped traffic — is not legal in Texas. However, a driver's claim that you were lane splitting does not automatically bar your recovery. Texas's modified comparative fault rules require a jury to evaluate each party's actual contribution to the crash. If you were lane filtering in stopped traffic and a driver opened their door or changed lanes without warning, their independent negligence may still be the primary cause of your injuries. We analyze the facts of every motorcycle crash claim carefully rather than accepting insurance company characterizations.
