Injured in a Motorcycle Crash?
Call a Rio Grande Valley Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Who Gets It



Motorcycle accidents are different. The injuries are more severe, the bias is real, and the road to recovery is often longer. At Crash Law Firm, we help injured riders throughout the Rio Grande Valley—McAllen, Mission, Edinburg, and beyond—stand up to insurance companies and get the compensation they deserve. Whether you were rear-ended on Expressway 83 or hit at an intersection in Weslaco, we’re ready to fight for you.

Motorcyclists Deserve Better Protection on Texas Roads

Riders know the risks, but that doesn’t mean they should be blamed when someone else causes a crash. In South Texas, motorcycle use has grown—and so have serious accidents. Even a low-speed impact can result in broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, or worse. We represent riders not just as clients, but as individuals whose lives were disrupted by another person’s negligence. You’re not a case number here.


Common Motorcycle Wrecks We See in the RGV

Most of the motorcycle accidents we handle involve:


  • Left-turn collisions at intersections
  • Drivers changing lanes without seeing a motorcycle
  • Rear-end crashes that throw riders off the bike
  • Cars pulling out of driveways or parking lots
  • Road hazards like debris, potholes, or loose gravel


In each of these cases, our job is to uncover the truth and prove liability. Because many people—especially insurance adjusters—jump to conclusions about riders. We don’t let that slide.

Severe Injuries Are Common in Motorcycle Accidents

Without the protection of a vehicle frame, riders often suffer catastrophic injuries. At Crash Law Firm, we’ve represented clients with:


  • Road rash and skin abrasions
  • Fractured bones and orthopedic trauma
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions
  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Internal bleeding or organ damage
  • Amputations


These injuries come with long recoveries, lost wages, expensive medical care, and emotional trauma. We factor all of that into your claim—and we don’t settle for quick, lowball offers.

Fighting Bias in Motorcycle Injury Claims


Let’s be honest: motorcyclists often get blamed, even when they didn’t cause the crash. Adjusters may assume you were speeding, weaving, or taking risks—just because you were on a bike. That’s not fair, and we push back hard.


We investigate thoroughly: gathering crash reports, skid mark evidence, helmet cam footage (if available), and witness statements to show exactly what happened. Our goal is to prove the facts—not let stereotypes shape your case.

What You Should Know About Texas Motorcycle Laws


In Texas, riders under 21 must wear a helmet. Over 21? You’re allowed to ride without one if you meet certain training or insurance requirements. Whether you had a helmet on or not, you can still file a claim if someone else caused your crash.


That said, helmet use might factor into how much compensation you receive for head injuries. This is where legal experience matters. We understand how to handle these comparative negligence issues and protect your right to full compensation.

We Help Injured Riders Recover What They’ve Lost

When we build a motorcycle accident claim, we look at the full impact—because it’s never just about fixing your bike. It’s about:

1

Current and future medical bills

2

Lost income and earning ability

3

Pain and emotional suffering

4

Permanent disability or disfigurement

5

Loss of enjoyment of life—especially if you can’t ride again

For many of our clients, riding is a passion, a lifestyle, and a release. Losing that takes a toll. We take that seriously and fight for every dollar you’re owed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents in Texas

  • Do I still have a case if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

    Yes. Texas law allows riders over 21 to ride without a helmet if they meet certain training or insurance requirements. Not wearing a helmet doesn’t automatically disqualify you from seeking compensation, though it may affect certain parts of your injury claim (like head trauma). We’ll help you understand how that plays into your case.

  • What if the driver says they “didn’t see me”?

    That’s one of the most common excuses after a motorcycle wreck—and it doesn’t hold up legally. Drivers have a duty to watch for all vehicles, including motorcycles. We’ll investigate the crash and gather evidence to prove fault, even if the other driver tries to shift the blame.

  • Can I file a claim if I laid the bike down to avoid a crash?

    Yes. Even if your bike never made contact with another vehicle, you may still have a valid case. If another driver’s actions forced you into evasive maneuvers that caused injury, they can still be held liable.

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

    In most cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas. But waiting can hurt your case—evidence fades fast. Contact us early so we can preserve what matters.

  • What if the insurance company blames me for the crash?

    Insurance companies often try to use “comparative negligence” to reduce payouts—especially in motorcycle cases. We push back by building a clear, evidence-based case that tells your side of the story.

  • What types of compensation can I get?

    You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, bike repair or replacement, pain and suffering, and more. If your injuries affect your long-term mobility or ability to ride, we factor that into the claim as well.

  • Can I afford a motorcycle accident lawyer?

    Yes. At Crash Law Firm, you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless we win your case. The consultation is completely free, and we’re available 24/7 to answer your questions.
