Motorcycle Accidents
Lozano & Khan fights insurance bias against riders with evidence-based motorcycle accident representation across Texas.
Motorcycle Injuries Are Often Severe. Fair Treatment Shouldn't Be Optional.
Motorcyclists have far less protection than someone inside a car, which means even a relatively minor collision can cause serious injury. Unfortunately, riders also face a bias that other drivers don’t: an assumption that they were speeding, weaving, or otherwise at fault, even when the evidence says the opposite.
Lozano & Khan push back on that assumption directly, using accident reconstruction, witness statements, and traffic camera footage where available to establish exactly what happened.
Common Causes and Challenges in Motorcycle Claims
Motorcycle accident cases often involve serious injuries, disputed liability, and unfair assumptions that can make recovering full compensation more difficult.
Common Causes We See
- Drivers failing to see motorcycles when changing lanes or turning
- Left-turn accidents at intersections
- Road hazards that affect motorcycles more severely than cars
- Tailgating and rear-end collisions
What Makes These Cases Harder to Win Fairly
- Adjuster bias assuming rider fault by default
- Higher severity of injury complicating settlement value
- Missing or unclear evidence at the scene
How We Build These Cases
We work to reconstruct the accident using physical evidence, traffic patterns, and any available video, and we bring in expert analysis when it’s needed to counter an insurance company’s attempt to blame the rider.

Mostly Asked Questions
Seek medical attention immediately, call the police, document the scene, and preserve your damaged gear and motorcycle. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance adjuster before speaking with a Texas motorcycle accident attorney.
Yes. Insurance companies routinely assign unfair blame to motorcycle riders. Texas comparative fault law allows you to recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault. An attorney builds the evidence to counter that bias.
Under Texas modified comparative fault rules, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were 20 percent at fault and your damages total $100,000, you recover $80,000. You cannot recover anything if you are found more than 50 percent responsible.
Recoverable damages include medical expenses, future medical care, lost income, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage. Catastrophic motorcycle injuries may also include long-term rehabilitation costs and loss of quality of life.
Texas law requires riders under 21 to wear a helmet. For riders over 21, helmet use may be raised by the defense to argue comparative fault. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney addresses this argument directly with evidence focused on the other party's negligence.
Settlement value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and long-term care needs. Serious motorcycle accidents involving fractures, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries typically result in significantly higher settlements than minor collisions.
