What to Know About Motorcycle Accident Claims
Motorcycle accident claims are often more complex than standard car accident cases. Riders face a higher risk of severe injury, and unfortunately, insurance companies may try to place unfair blame on motorcyclists.
To strengthen your claim, it’s important to:
- Collect key evidence: Police reports, medical records, accident scene photos, and witness statements.
- Seek immediate medical attention: Some injuries take time to appear and early treatment helps document damages.
- Consult an attorney: Legal guidance from the start can prevent costly mistakes and increase your chance of a favorable outcome.
With Thomas J. Henry Law on your side, you’ll have a legal team with the knowledge, resources, and experience to hold negligent parties accountable.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcyclists are exposed to far more danger on the road than those in passenger vehicles. As a result, injuries are often severe and may include:
- Fractures and broken bones
- Road rash and deep lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
These injuries can lead to long-term rehabilitation, lost wages, and emotional trauma. Victims may face anxiety, depression, or PTSD as they recover from both the physical and psychological impacts of the crash.
At Thomas J. Henry Law, we work to ensure every aspect of your injury—physical, emotional, and financial—is considered in your claim.
Lack of Protection Leaves Motorcyclists Open to Catastrophic Injuries
The injuries sustained when a motorcyclist is involved in an accident with a vehicle are often more severe because the motorcyclist does not have nearly as much protection as someone would have when driving in a car. while motorcyclists can wear protective gear, such as a leather jacket, knee pads, and a helmet, the gear is not always going to save them from the impact of a serious collision, especially if the motorist of the other vehicle is driving at a fast rate of speed.
Unfortunately, if a motorcyclist is thrown from the bike, they can end up with traumatic brain injuries And blunt force trauma that leads to internal bleeding, causing them to succumb to their injuries.
Determining Liability in a Motorcycle Accident
Establishing who is at fault in a motorcycle accident is critical to a successful injury claim. Unfortunately, liability is not always clear-cut, and multiple parties may be responsible.
Some of the most common liable parties include:
- Negligent drivers who fail to yield, speed, or drive distracted
- Commercial vehicle operators or employers in trucking-related motorcycle crashes
- Government entities responsible for maintaining safe road conditions
- Motorcycle or auto part manufacturers if mechanical failure contributed to the crash
Texas follows a comparative negligence system, meaning your compensation may be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney who can investigate the accident thoroughly, gather the necessary evidence, and build a strong case that protects your rights.
At Thomas J. Henry Law, we leave no stone unturned when identifying all responsible parties and pursuing maximum compensation on your behalf.

Your Motorcycle Accident Questions Answered
We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
Following a motorcycle 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.
