If unsafe road conditions—like potholes, loose gravel, or poor signage—contributed to your accident, you may have a claim against the city, county, or state government responsible for maintaining the roadway. These cases are complex and time-sensitive, but Kelley & Wolff can help you navigate the legal process.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover damages as long as you were less than 51% at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. We’ll help gather the evidence needed to show the other party’s negligence and minimize any blame placed on you.

If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Our attorneys can review your policy and explore all available options for financial recovery.

Yes. Insurance companies often try to downplay the severity of motorcycle injuries or blame the rider. An experienced attorney can gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and fight to ensure you receive the full compensation you’re owed.

In Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Failing to file within this window may prevent you from recovering any compensation, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)

• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Property damage (motorcycle repair or replacement)

• Emotional distress

• Long-term disability or disfigurement

Potentially liable parties include the at-fault driver, a vehicle manufacturer (if a defect contributed to the crash), or a government agency (if poor road conditions played a role). Our attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation to determine who should be held responsible.

Yes. While Texas law only requires helmets for riders under 21 or those without proper insurance and training, not wearing a helmet does not automatically disqualify you from recovering damages. However, it may affect the value of your claim depending on the injuries involved.

Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor. Call 911 to report the accident, and if possible, gather evidence at the scene—such as photos, witness contact information, and the other driver’s insurance details. Then, contact an experienced motorcycle accident attorney like Kelley & Wolff to protect your rights and begin your claim.
