The guidance and patience exhibited by Attorney LaRue and his team were paramount in the successful navigation of this event for my family and I. In a perfect world I won't have to ring his phone anytime soon, but should the Truck of Life dump on me again, I wouldn't hesitate to dial them up.

What Damages Am I Entitled to After a Motorcycle Accident in Texas?

You shouldn’t have to pay off the damages you sustained after an accident that was not your fault. When you file your claim or lawsuit against the liable party, you can request reimbursement for the following types of damages:

  • Medical expenses: For past and upcoming treatment (e.g., hospital stays, pain medications, medical equipment, surgeries, imaging scans, bloodwork, physical therapy, and copays for follow-up doctor’s appointments)
  • Lost wages: When you couldn’t go to work because your injuries and treatment appointments wouldn’t permit
  • Lost earning potential: If your injuries were so severe that you won’t be able to work again at the same capacity or at all
  • Property damage: If your motorcycle was destroyed or damaged in the accident
  • Pain and suffering: If you have had to endure physical discomfort from your injuries
  • Mental anguish: For the trauma you have experienced stemming from the accident (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), insomnia, depression, etc.)
  • Scarring and disfigurement: If the accident was serious that it permanently changed the way you look and move)
  • Wrongful death damages: For your late loved one’s funeral expenses, final medical expenses, and your loss of companionship and support
  • You don’t have to figure out the worth of these damages and others on your own. Your lawyer can review your case and value each of your losses accordingly.

Linking the Motorcycle Accident to Your Injuries

Evidence is what makes your case. To support your claim, we may use the followi

Medical Records

The injuries you or a family member sustained in a motorcycle accident can come with a hefty price tag. A motorcycle collision might cause injuries such as:

  • Cuts, scrapes, and bruises
  • Road rash
  • Paralysis
  • Facial trauma
  • Broken collarbones
  • Skull fractures
  • Head injuries or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Back, neck, and/or spinal cord injuries

Your medical records are an important part of your total case file. We use your medical reports to calculate the cost of your medical care and estimate the cost of future medical care.

Documents That Support Your Claim

Part of building a compensation claim is compiling paperwork and documentation. To build a complete claim, our team may ask you to obtain specific supportive documents, such as:

  • Insurance claim forms
  • Witness statements
  • Official crash reports
  • Photos of the motorcycle accident scene
  • Video surveillance of the accident in motion
  • Your salary history
  • Traffic tickets

Obtain these and any other requested documents as soon as possible and share them with your lawyer so that your case may be filed in a timely manner.

Accident Reconstruction

Some motorcycle accident cases call for a reconstruction that can help our legal team understand any causes and contributing factors. Our firm can bring in these types of experts, such as accident reconstructionists, who can help establish the negligence of another party in your motorcycle accident.

We want to get to the bottom of what happened so that we have evidence to challenge an insurer’s determination of fault. This way, we can protect you from an insurance adjuster who may try to shift part or all of the blame onto you.

What is the Statute Of Limitations in Texas?

The time after a motorcycle accident is critical, and your priority should be seeking immediate medical care and experiencing the best possible recovery for your injuries.

While you focus on physical and emotional recovery after a motorcycle accident, our legal team will start working on your case as soon as possible to meet the statute of limitations, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. To recover compensation, you have two years from the date of the accident to file for personal injury and two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file for wrongful death.

Taking legal action is time-sensitive, and the clock starts ticking as soon as the accident occurs, so do not delay. Doing so might put your ability to obtain compensation at risk. When you are ready to pursue the at-fault driver, we are ready to help you prepare and file a comprehensive claim.
