Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Dallas

Motorcycle crashes are rarely "accidents" — they are usually the result of another driver’s careless or reckless behavior. Common causes include:

  • Drivers failing to yield or cutting off motorcyclists
  • Distracted driving (especially phone use)
  • Aggressive lane changes
  • Speeding
  • Opening car doors into the path of a rider
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Drunk or drug-impaired driving
  • Left-turn collisions at intersections

Whatever the cause, if you were injured due to another party’s negligence, you deserve to be compensated — and we’ll help you get there.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries Can Be Life-Altering

Motorcyclists have far less protection than drivers in enclosed vehicles. Even with a helmet and protective gear, injuries can be catastrophic. We’ve helped clients recover from:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Fractures and crushed bones
  • Internal organ damage
  • Severe road rash
  • Amputations
  • Burns and disfigurement
  • Psychological trauma (PTSD)

Some injuries result in permanent disability, while others lead to years of painful recovery. Our attorneys will ensure your claim reflects the full physical, emotional, and financial cost.

What To Do After a Dallas Motorcycle Crash

  • Seek medical care immediately. Even if you feel okay, symptoms can appear later. Medical documentation is critical.
  • Do not speak with the other driver’s insurance company. Let us handle that for you.
  • Collect evidence, including photos, eyewitness contact info, and police reports.
  • Contact a Dallas motorcycle accident attorney right away. The sooner we start working on your case, the better your outcome will be.

How We Prove Fault and Build Your Case

Motorcycle accident claims require in-depth investigation. We’ll gather and analyze:

  • Traffic camera or dashcam footage
  • Police crash reports and citations
  • Witness statements
  • Black box vehicle data (if available)
  • Road and traffic conditions
  • Medical records and expert opinions

We’ll also work with accident reconstruction specialists when needed — and we’ll do whatever it takes to establish liability and recover full damages.

Damages You May Be Entitled To

Our Dallas motorcycle accident lawyers pursue compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past, ongoing, and future)
  • Lost wages and diminished earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Property damage
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members

In rare cases involving reckless or egregious behavior, we may also pursue punitive damages.

Why Insurance Companies Undervalue Motorcycle Claims

Insurance companies often stereotype motorcyclists as reckless — and use that bias to offer low settlements or deny claims altogether. Our team knows their tactics. We know how to counter them. And we don’t back down. You focus on recovery. We’ll fight for justice.

How to Choose the Right Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Experience matters. So does trust. When hiring a Dallas motorcycle accident attorney, ask:

  • Have you handled cases like mine before?
  • What are your success rates?
  • Do you charge upfront fees? (We don’t.)
  • What’s your approach to negotiations and trial?
  • Will you handle my case personally or pass it off?

At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, we offer free consultations so you can ask these questions — and make an informed decision with no pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Motorcycle Accident FAQ's

Do I need a lawyer after a Dallas motorcycle accident?

Yes. Motorcycle claims are often high-value and aggressively contested by insurers. An experienced attorney protects your rights and maximizes your payout.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the crash. Don’t wait — evidence disappears quickly.

What if I walked away from the crash but felt worse later?

Delayed symptoms are common. Seek immediate medical care and contact a lawyer. Waiting too long can hurt both your health and your case.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

Texas law allows adult riders to ride without a helmet under certain conditions. Not wearing one may reduce your compensation, but it does not automatically bar recovery.

What if I was partially at fault?

Texas follows modified comparative negligence. You can still recover compensation if you’re 50% or less at fault — though your award may be reduced.
