Motorcyclists deserve the same care and attention from other drivers as anyone else on Texas roads. But when a driver makes an unsafe turn, changes lanes without looking, drives distracted, or otherwise acts carelessly, a rider can suffer devastating injuries.
At the Ezequiel Reyna Law Office, we represent Texans who have been seriously injured in motorcycle accidents and families who have lost loved ones in fatal crashes. Our motorcycle accident attorneys investigate what happened, protect important evidence, and pursue compensation for the losses a serious collision has caused.
If you or someone you love was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash, call (956) 968-9556 to speak with the Ezequiel Reyna Law Office today.
Motorcyclists face serious risks on Texas roads. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot), 557 riders were killed and 2,468 were seriously injured in motorcycle crashes across Texas in 2025. TxDOT also reports that, on average, two motorcyclists die in crashes on Texas roads each day.
Many fatal motorcycle crashes involve another vehicle. Drivers may fail to see an approaching rider, misjudge a motorcycle’s speed or distance, make an unsafe left turn, or change lanes without checking a blind spot. Intersections are especially dangerous, accounting for 37% of motorcycle fatalities in Texas.
A serious crash can leave a rider facing surgery, rehabilitation, missed work, permanent limitations, and an uncertain financial future. Ezequiel Reyna Law Office represents riders and families in high-stakes motorcycle injury claims throughout Texas.
After a motorcycle crash, riders may face unfair assumptions about speed, visibility, or risk-taking before the facts have been fully examined. In many cases, however, a collision occurs because another driver fails to see a motorcycle, misjudges its distance or speed, or fails to follow the rules of the road.
Because motorcycles offer little physical protection in a collision, a driver’s careless decision can leave a rider with severe injuries.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
Motorcycle crashes can cause devastating injuries that require emergency treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care. At Ezequiel Reyna Law Office, our motorcycle injury attorneys represent people whose crashes have caused serious physical, financial, and personal losses.
A traumatic brain injury can happen when a rider’s head strikes a vehicle, the pavement, or another object. Even a concussion can have lasting effects. More severe brain injuries may lead to memory problems, cognitive changes, chronic headaches, personality changes, speech difficulties, or the need for ongoing care.
The force of a motorcycle collision can damage the spine, vertebrae, discs, and nerves. These injuries can result in chronic pain, limited mobility, nerve damage, paralysis, or permanent loss of function. Many people need surgery, physical therapy, mobility equipment, and long-term medical treatment.
Road rash is much more than a scrape. When a rider slides across asphalt, the skin and underlying tissue can be severely damaged. Serious cases may require skin grafts, reconstructive procedures, infection treatment, and lengthy recovery. Motorcycle crashes can also cause burn injuries when fuel ignites, or a rider contacts a hot engine or exhaust system.
Motorcycle riders are especially vulnerable to leg, knee, ankle, foot, hip, and pelvic injuries. Fractures, crush injuries, torn ligaments, and amputations can permanently affect a person’s ability to walk, work, or enjoy the activities they once loved.
Internal bleeding, organ damage, chest injuries, and other trauma may not be immediately obvious after a collision. These injuries can be life-threatening. In the most devastating cases, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim after losing a loved one in a motorcycle accident.
After a serious crash, insurance companies may move quickly to protect their own interests. An adjuster may ask for a recorded statement, push for a quick settlement, or suggest that the rider was partly to blame. You should not have to handle those pressures while trying to recover from serious injuries.
A Texas motorcycle accident attorney from Ezequiel Reyna Law Office can take on the legal work so you can focus on your health and your family. We can:
Motorcycle accident cases often involve unfair assumptions about riders. Insurance companies may try to argue that a motorcyclist was speeding, taking risks, or somehow responsible for a crash before they have all the facts. Our motorcycle accident lawyers build cases around evidence, not stereotypes.
When your injuries are serious and the stakes are high, call (956) 968-9556 to speak with the Ezequiel Reyna Law Office. We are ready to listen to what happened and explain how we may be able to help.
A motorcycle accident lawyer helps an injured rider pursue compensation from the person, company, or entity responsible for the crash. But in a serious case, the role goes far beyond filing paperwork or negotiating a settlement.
A motorcycle accident attorney investigates the collision, protects evidence, identifies all available insurance coverage, documents the full extent of the client’s losses, and pushes back when an insurance company tries to minimize the claim.
For example, a rider may be struck by a driver who says they “never saw the motorcycle.” A motorcycle accident lawyer may examine the:
If the at-fault driver was working at the time of the wreck, the employer may also have responsibility. If a defective motorcycle part or dangerous roadway contributed to the collision, other parties may be involved as well.
At Ezequiel Reyna Law Office, our motorcycle accident attorneys focus on the details that can make a difference in a serious injury case. We work to show not only who caused the crash, but also how the injuries have affected your life now and what they may cost you in the future.
Every motorcycle accident claim is different. The compensation available depends on the severity of the injuries, the insurance coverage involved, the evidence of fault, and the ways the crash has affected the rider and their family.
A successful claim may seek compensation for:
Under Texas proportionate-responsibility law, an injured person’s recovery may be reduced by their percentage of responsibility for the crash. A claimant generally cannot recover damages if they are found more than 50% responsible for the harm. Insurance companies may attempt to place blame on a motorcyclist, which is why a thorough investigation and clear evidence can matter so much.
In Texas, a personal injury lawsuit generally must be filed within two years after the claim accrues, although exceptions may apply. This deadline applies to filing a lawsuit, not necessarily to opening an insurance claim. Waiting can still make it harder to locate witnesses, preserve video, and document the evidence needed to support a case.
There is no honest one-size-fits-all answer. The value of a motorcycle accident claim depends on the facts of the case, including the type and severity of the injuries, expected recovery, future medical needs, time away from work, permanent limitations, available insurance coverage, and the strength of the evidence.
A claim involving a temporary injury and a short recovery will look very different from one involving a traumatic brain injury, paralysis, multiple surgeries, permanent scarring, or the death of a loved one.
The most important question is not whether a lawyer can promise a certain amount. It is whether your attorney understands the full impact of your injuries and has the experience, resources, and resolve to pursue the result your case calls for. Ezequiel Reyna has spent decades handling serious Texas injury cases where the outcome matters deeply to the injured person and their family.
The timeline depends on the case. Some claims may resolve in months, while cases involving catastrophic injuries, disputed fault, multiple parties, commercial vehicles, or insufficient insurance coverage can take much longer.
It is often important to understand the full medical outlook before accepting a settlement. Settling too early may leave an injured rider without enough compensation for future treatment, lost income, or permanent limitations.
In Texas, most personal injury lawsuits must generally be filed within two years of the date of the injury under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003, although exceptions can apply. Waiting can also make it harder to locate evidence and witnesses. Speaking with a Texas motorcycle lawyer as soon as possible can help protect your rights and preserve your options.
You should speak with a motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as possible after any crash involving serious injuries, hospitalization, surgery, a fatality, a disputed account of what happened, or an insurance company that is pressuring you to settle.
It is particularly important to get legal help when:
You do not need to wait until the insurance company makes a decision. The earlier a motorcycle accident attorney can begin investigating, the better the opportunity to protect key evidence and build a strong claim.
