Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Houston, TX

Hurt in a motorcycle crash in Houston, TX? Insurers often argue riders share the blame, so the state's fault rule matters, along with the filing deadline and helmet rule.

  • Fault rule: Modified comparative fault (51% bar): recovery is reduced by your share of fault and barred if you are found more than 50% at fault. (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001)
  • Helmet rule: Partial — required for riders under 21; riders 21 or older are exempt if they carry at least $10,000 in medical insurance OR have completed a Department-approved motorcycle… (Tex. Transp. Code § 661.003).

Houston Local Resources & Context

Houston personal injury cases are filed in the Harris County Civil Courthouse. Harris County is one of the largest civil court systems in the country and Houston juries are diverse and moderate to plaintiff-friendly. The I-10 / I-45 / I-69 / I-610 corridors carry massive freight volume to and from the Port of Houston, generating significant truck accident case volume. The City of Houston requires a 90-day notice of claim under its municipal charter — shorter than the Texas Tort Claims Act default — for claims against the City.
