Houston Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Last updated on October 2, 2026

A motorcycle crash can leave you with serious injuries, a wrecked bike and an insurer that already blames you. As a Houston motorcycle accident lawyer with almost 10 years of personal injury experience, I offer free consultations to injured riders.

I am Rafael Quesada. I founded RQ Law Group, in 2022. As a solo attorney, I work directly with each client from the initial case review to final resolution.

Compensation After A Motorcycle Crash

Texas follows a proportionate responsibility rule, also known as modified comparative negligence. If you share fault, your compensation drops by your percentage. A rider found 20% responsible for $100,000 in damages could recover $80,000. A rider more than 50% responsible recovers nothing.

Insurers scrutinize how you were riding. Allegations of speeding, lane splitting or riding in a blind spot aim to shift fault onto you, shrinking your motorcycle crash compensation.

Partial fault does not automatically end a claim. I gather witness statements, video and scene evidence to answer those allegations. The same rule governs other vehicle crash claims.

Does Not Wearing A Helmet Affect A Texas Motorcycle Accident Claim?

Texas requires riders and passengers under 21 to wear a helmet. Anyone 21 or older may ride without one after completing an approved safety course or with health insurance covering at least $10,000 in motorcycle crash injuries.

A helmet violation is separate from who caused the crash. Riding without a helmet does not make you responsible for a driver who turned left in front of you, and it does not by itself bar your claim.

Instead, the insurer may argue a helmet would have lessened a specific injury, such as head trauma, and seek to reduce compensation for it. As a motorcycle injury lawyer, I use medical evidence to keep that argument confined to the injuries it affects.

Compensation After A Motorcycle Accident In Texas

A motorcycle accident injury claim can cover financial and personal losses. What is available depends on your injuries and how the crash affects your life. Damages may include:

  • Medical expenses: This includes emergency care, surgery, therapy and future treatment.
  • Lost income: You can seek wages missed while recovering.
  • Future earning capacity: Injuries that limit future work can support this claim.
  • Pain and suffering: These damages address pain and emotional strain.
  • Property damage: This covers repairing or replacing your motorcycle and gear.

I document each category before negotiating with the insurer.
