See If My Case QualifiesFree. No obligation. Takes about 2 minutes.

Getting hurt on a motorcycle raises a lot of questions fast, and most riders want straight answers before they share a single detail about the crash. Below are the ones people ask most often. For a broader look at how this site works, the about page covers it in plain terms, and the guides section breaks down Texas rules on deadlines, fault, and what a claim can involve.

Common questions

Does it cost anything to have my case reviewed?

No. A case review is free, and there's no charge for talking with an attorney about what happened. If you decide to hire someone, how they get paid is something they'll explain to you directly, in writing, before you sign anything.

What happens after I submit my crash details?

Your information goes out to independent attorneys who handle motorcycle claims and take on riders in this area. If one wants to talk further, they'll contact you directly, usually to walk through what happened and where your case stands.

Am I obligated to hire whichever attorney calls me?

No. Talking with an attorney doesn't commit you to anything. You can ask questions, compare what more than one attorney tells you, and decide later, or not at all.

Is El Paso Motorcycle Lawyer a law firm?

No. This site connects riders with independent attorneys, but nobody here practices law or represents anyone directly. Any legal advice you get comes from the attorney you choose to work with, not from this site.

What kinds of motorcycle claims can this help with?

Crashes involving cars, trucks, hit-and-run drivers, road hazards, and passengers hurt while riding along are all common. If a motorcycle was involved and someone else's carelessness played a part, it's worth submitting your case for a look.

I wasn't wearing a helmet when the crash happened. Does that rule me out?

No. Not wearing a helmet doesn't stop you from filing a claim. An insurer may bring it up, and an attorney can explain how much weight that argument realistically carries in your specific situation.

What if I was partly responsible for the crash?

Texas doesn't shut the door on your claim just because you carried some blame. The rule looks at your share compared to the other side's, and there's real room to still recover money depending on how that split plays out.

How quickly does this whole process actually move?

The case review itself takes just a few minutes to submit. From there, timing depends on the attorney who reaches out and how complex your crash turns out to be, so it varies from one case to the next.
