San Antonio Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Injury Attorneys Serving Injured Motorcycle Accident Victims in San Antonio and Surrounding Communities
Motorcycles are a popular form of transportation in San Antonio and throughout Texas. However, because motorcycles offer less protection to occupants than a traditional car or truck, crashes are more likely to result in serious injuries and death.
Thomas J. Henry Law has represented victims of motorcycle accidents for more than 25 years. If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident, call the San Antonio motorcycle injury attorneys at Thomas J. Henry Law immediately for your free case review.
Motorcycle Accidents in San Antonio, Texas
In 2018, San Antonio recorded 16 deaths from motorcycle accidents. This was actually below the five-year average of 21 deaths per year. Still, despite only making up a small fraction of all vehicles on the road, motorcycles were involved in nearly 20 percent of all motor vehicle accident deaths recorded that year.
As any rider knows, motorcyclists face unique hazards while on the road. From in attentive drivers to debris and poorly maintained roads, motorcyclists must constantly be on the watch for other people’s mistakes. Unfortunately, no matter how attentive a motorcyclist is, not every accident is avoidable.
When an accident does occur, it is essential that you contact an experienced motorcycle accident attorney who can help you recover the compensation necessary to pay for the medical treatment you need as well as help you recover any lost wages you may have accrued as a result of missing work. The experienced San Antonio motorcycle accident attorneys at Thomas J. Henry Law are prepared to fight for you and help you get back on your feet and back on the road.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
For the most part, motorcycle accidents have the same causes as traditional traffic accidents. They tend to occur in the same places, such as busy intersections, and are often the result of negligence, inattentiveness, and lapses in judgement.
The top contributing factors for multiple-vehicle motorcycle accidents at intersections include:
- Failure to yield right of way
- Failure to control speed
- Driver inattention
- Driver distraction
- Drunk driving
- Disregarding stop sign or stop light
Additional risks may be associated with inclement weather or mechanical issues and defects.
Injuries Caused by Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists and their passengers are at a significantly higher risk of being injured in a crash. Common injuries that occur to motorcyclists involved in wrecks include:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Severe muscle sprains and strains
- Spinal cord, neck, and back injuries
- Head and brain injuries (concussions, traumatic brain injuries)
- Road rash, including scarring

Your questions
answered
We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
Following an accident, there are always more questions than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer any questions you have about your injury case.
How Does the “No Win No Fee” Promise Work?
The Thomas J. Henry “No Win No Fee” promise works as part of a contingency fee agreement. Instead of receiving payments from clients, we recoup fees and expenses from the final settlement or verdict our clients receive.
This allows us to start working on your case as soon as you hire us, ensuring that your case is handled with the urgency it deserves. It also means you can focus on getting better rather than cutting us a check.
The percentage we collect may vary depending on the complexity of your case, but you will be kept informed so you know what we are collecting before your case is closed.
Even better, you owe us nothing if we don’t win your case! Because our fees are collected as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, we do not collect anything unless and until you get your recovery. This means there is no risk to hiring a qualified attorney to handle your case!
Do I Have to Pay to Speak with an Injury Attorney?
Thomas J. Henry Law offers free case reviews so that you can better understand your legal options. This means you pay nothing for your first consultation. Additionally, Thomas J. Henry Law works on a contingency fee basis meaning that if you do choose to hire us, you pay us nothing unless and until we win your case.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Help Me Settle My Case?
Insurance companies will attempt to pay out as little as possible when resolving an injury claim. When an individual pursues compensation from an insurance company without the aid of an attorney, the insurance company may see the lack of representation as an opportunity to lowball the injured victim as there is no immediate risk of trial or legal recourse.
By hiring a competent attorney who has a reputation for achieving large verdicts in the courtroom, you are sending a message to the insurer. It will provide the insurance company with extra incentive to offer a fair settlement the first time.
If that first offer is not fair, an experienced personal attorney will have the resources and the knowledge to negotiate with the insurance company in pursuit of a better offer.
What is a Contingency Fee?
In a contingency fee arrangement, an attorney agrees to accept a fixed percentage of your recovery as payment. This means that if you win your case, your attorney will collect their fees and expenses from the money awarded to you. However, if you lose your case, your attorney will collect nothing.
Most lawyers prefer not to work on contingency cases for two reasons:
- There is a risk the firm will be paid nothing
- Any payment is delayed until money is collected from the opposing party
Generally, a lawyer who accepts contingency fee cases:
- Regularly represents clients who lack the financial resources to pay hourly attorney’s fees (as is often the case for personal injury victims).
- Is more selective about the cases they accept.
- Is very confident in their ability to win the cases they choose to handle.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
The cost associated with hiring a personal injury attorney and how payment is collected may vary from firm to firm. At Thomas J. Henry, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we don’t charge our clients a penny unless and until we win their case.
Working on a contingency fee basis allows clients access to resources and legal representation they might otherwise struggle to afford. The more serious a case is, the more money it costs to take to trial. This is because complex litigation tends to take longer to resolve and the entities involved fight harder.
This is especially true if your lawsuit is against a large company, as would be the case in a trucking accident or on-the-job injury. Such companies employ teams of lawyers and have seemingly unlimited financial resources. You need an attorney who has the same. Thomas J. Henry employs a team of more than 100 attorneys and has the money to fight your case out to the end.
Finally, by collecting any fees and expenses after a verdict or settlement is secured, Thomas J. Henry can help ensure his clients are able to focus on healing. “The client’s job is to heal. We will handle the rest,” says Thomas J. Henry.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
In Texas, a personal injury case is only worth what a jury is willing to award you. This is why you need an attorney who can not only prove the economic damages you have sustained due to your accident, but can also demonstrate the value of non-economic damages you may have sustained, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
