Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Some of the most common injuries involve the head, spine, ribs, and legs. Riders may hit the ground, another vehicle, or both, causing multiple fractures or nerve damage. A motorcycle accident lawyer in Dallas can help you document these injuries and determine how they affect your case. Road rash, brain trauma, and broken bones are just a few of the complications we often see. These are not always simple to treat, and many riders face long stretches of recovery and follow-up care.

Many motorcycle crashes do not end with the first impact. Riders are often thrown from the bike and left vulnerable on the road, where they may be hit again by another driver. These second impacts can cause permanent injuries or loss of life. Under Texas Health and Safety Code § 773.008, paramedics and medical teams have the authority to prioritize trauma evaluations in cases like these. That early intervention can save lives and also create a strong medical record that supports your injury claim.

Many motorcycle wrecks happen because drivers ignore basic safety rules or fail to look out for smaller vehicles. What seems like a minor mistake behind the wheel can change someone’s life forever. Here are some of the most common traffic violations we see in motorcycle crash claims:

• Unsafe lane changes
• Illegal turns
• Failure to yield
• Speeding
• Tailgating
• Running red lights
• Texting while driving
• Improper merges
• Driving under the influence
• Not using mirrors
• Distracted drivers

These violations can be hard to prove unless there is strong documentation. Our team gathers traffic camera footage, black box data, and statements from people who saw what happened. Under Texas Transportation Code § 545.060, drivers are required to stay within their lane and operate safely, especially around motorcycles.

Insurance companies often treat motorcycle claims differently, even when the injuries are severe. Riders may be unfairly blamed or pushed into quick settlements before they know what their case is truly worth. Our firm understands how these companies operate and knows what it takes to push back.

Some adjusters assume motorcyclists were speeding, weaving through traffic, or taking unnecessary risks. These assumptions often creep into claim reports without any supporting evidence, making it harder for you to access fair compensation. Even when the other driver clearly caused the crash, your claim might be denied or underpaid simply because of outdated perceptions about how bikers behave. Your Dallas car accident lawyer with Goff Law, PLLC knows how to challenge these biased narratives. We look at camera footage, accident reconstructions, and eyewitness statements to establish what really happened. Our team builds each case around facts, not assumptions, so you are not left footing the bill for someone else’s mistake.

Insurance companies may offer fast payouts that sound helpful at first but often fall far short of what your care will cost over time. If you suffered a head injury, fractured bones, or needed surgery, it is important to understand what your treatment and recovery might look like six months or even six years from now. These early offers often skip over future physical therapy, assistive devices, or income loss. We work closely with your providers to understand your long-term outlook and how your injuries affect your daily life. Under Texas Insurance Code § 541.060, insurers are not allowed to misrepresent coverage or delay payment unfairly. When they do, we step in to demand the compensation you truly need, not just what the insurance company hopes you will accept.
