How Fault Is Evaluated Under Texas Law
To recover compensation after a motorcycle crash, the claim generally has to show that another party acted negligently, that the negligence caused the collision, and that the collision caused legally recognized damages.
Texas also applies a proportionate responsibility rule. If you are assigned part of the blame, your compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found more than 50% responsible, Texas law can prevent you from recovering compensation.
Because of that rule, motorcycle claims are often defended with fault arguments. The insurer may claim that you were speeding, difficult to see, riding outside your lane, following too closely, or failing to react quickly enough. We address those arguments through evidence instead of letting assumptions about riders control the claim.
Important Evidence in Motorcycle Accident Claims
Depending on your case, useful evidence may include:
- The police report and any supplemental reports.
- Photos of the motorcycle, other vehicles, injuries, and roadway.
- Witness names and statements.
- 911 records.
- Traffic camera, business camera, doorbell camera, or dash camera footage.
- Damage to the motorcycle, helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, and other gear.
- Skid marks, debris, gouge marks, and vehicle resting positions.
- Medical records, imaging, and treatment notes.
- Motorcycle repair or replacement estimates.
- Phone records if distracted driving is an issue.
- Employment records showing missed work or reduced income.
Our Lubbock motorcycle accident attorneys work to identify what evidence exists and what needs to be requested before it is lost. A well-documented claim is harder for an insurer to dismiss with broad statements about rider fault or injury severity.

Damages Our Lubbock Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Can Help You Pursue
The value of your claim depends on your injury, the treatment, the available insurance, the evidence of fault, and the effect the injury has on your work and daily life.
Depending on your individual case, we may be able to help you seek the following damages:
- Emergency care and hospitalization
- Surgery, follow-up visits, and specialist treatment
- Physical therapy, prescriptions, and medical devices
- Future medical care
- Lost wages and lost employment benefits
- Reduced earning capacity
- Motorcycle repair or replacement
- Replacement of damaged riding gear
- Pain and suffering
- Physical limitations
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
We also look at the practical consequences of the injury. If you cannot return to the same work, ride again, sleep normally, manage household tasks, or care for your family the way you did before the crash, those facts should be documented and considered when the claim is valued.
Wrongful Death Claims After a Fatal Motorcycle Accident
When a motorcycle crash causes a fatal injury, the legal claim belongs to the surviving family members who have rights under Texas law. A wrongful death claim may address both financial losses and the personal harm caused by the death.
Depending on the case, recoverable losses may include funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of care, loss of companionship, and other damages allowed by Texas law.
These claims also require careful attention to deadlines and proper filing parties. Omega Law Group can review the family’s rights, explain what may be pursued, and help protect the claim from early insurance pressure.

Texas Claim Deadlines
Texas generally gives you two years from the date of a motorcycle crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. If the crash caused a rider’s death, the two-year period usually starts on the date of death.
Keep in mind that if a dangerous road condition, construction zone, government vehicle, or public entity played a role in the crash, notice rules may apply well before the two-year deadline.
Omega Law Group can identify the deadlines that apply and protect your right to file.

Dealing With Insurance Companies After a Lubbock Motorcycle Crash
Insurance companies may act friendly while still looking for ways to reduce the claim. They may ask for a recorded statement, request broad medical authorizations, dispute treatment, or argue that a rider’s choices caused or worsened the injury.
Before you give a statement or sign anything, you should understand how the insurer may use your words or records. A comment about feeling “okay,” a delay in treatment, or a social media post may later be used to question your injuries.
Our legal team will handle communications with insurers, prepare the claim with supporting records, and work to prevent the insurance company from framing the case around incomplete facts.
How Omega Law Group Helps Injured Riders
A motorcycle accident claim should be built around the disputed issues. We identify the facts the insurer is likely to challenge and prepare the evidence needed to address those arguments.
Our work may include:
- Reviewing the crash report for errors or missing information.
- Investigating the crash location.
- Preserving motorcycle and gear evidence
- Requesting video footage and other time-sensitive records.
- Contacting witnesses.
- Reviewing medical records and treatment plans.
- Documenting lost income and reduced earning ability.
- Identifying available insurance coverage.
- Preparing a settlement demand supported by evidence.
- Filing a lawsuit when settlement negotiations do not lead to a fair result.
We keep the process clear, direct, and organized so you understand what is happening with your claim.
