Critical Steps After a Orange Motorcycle Accident
Immediate Actions at the Scene
- Ensure Safety – Move to safety and turn on hazard lights
- Call 911 – Request police and medical assistance
- Document Everything – Take photos of vehicles, damage, injuries, and scene conditions
- Gather Information – Exchange insurance/contact information with all parties

Critical DON’Ts
- DON’T apologize or admit fault

- DON’T sign insurance company documents
- DON’T discuss the accident on social media
- DON’T delay seeking medical attention
Fighting Insurance Company Bias Against Motorcyclists
Unfortunately, motorcycle accident victims face unique challenges due to negative stereotypes. Insurance companies often use tactics like:
- Arguing that motorcyclists are “reckless risk-takers”
- Rushing victims to give recorded statements
- Offering quick, lowball settlements
- Questioning injury severity
- Suggesting partial fault based on stereotypes
Our attorneys counter these tactics through:
- Thorough evidence gathering and accident reconstruction
- Expert witness testimony
- Challenging bias with facts and legal precedent
- Demonstrating adherence to traffic laws
- Documenting the full extent of injuries and impacts
Time Limits: Texas Statute of Limitations
Two-Year Deadline: Texas generally allows two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain exceptions may apply for minors or cases involving government entities.
Act Quickly: Evidence can disappear, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies may shift blame. Contact us immediately for the strongest possible case.

Example: 30% at fault with $200K damages = $140K recovery
You can still recover through:
- Your UM/UIM coverage
- Other liable parties (vehicle owner, employer, government entity)
- Personal assets of at-fault driver
We’ve recovered full compensation in many uninsured driver cases by identifying multiple liable parties.
According to Insurance Research Council data, uninsured motorist claims are increasingly common in Texas.
