Motorcycle accidents are far more likely to cause serious injury than passenger-vehicle accidents. TxDOT recorded 9,859 motorcycle injuries and fatalities in Texas in 2016, and national safety data from NHTSA confirms that riders are significantly more vulnerable in a collision.

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule: you can recover compensation as long as you were 50% or less at fault for the crash. Insurance adjusters routinely try to shift blame onto the rider, claiming you were speeding, riding aggressively, or not wearing a helmet. Eric Ramos investigates every case to establish what actually happened and counter those tactics.
Sixty-seven percent of multi-vehicle motorcycle crashes in Texas involved another driver's failure to yield the right of way, most often a left-turning vehicle at an intersection. On roads like Loop 410 at Rigsby Avenue and Marbach Road, and along Loop 1604's commercial corridors, heavy traffic and complex merging patterns make these collisions especially common during weekend evening hours.
Our firm investigates liability by analyzing police reports, roadway conditions, and driver behavior. The single deadliest cause of motorcycle crashes is distracted driving. The law requires all drivers to keep an adequate lookout, but many do not see or do not pay attention to motorcycles on the road. A motorcycle wreck lawyer in San Antonio can investigate the cause or causes of your accident to determine fault and strengthen your case.
If your crash involved a hit-and-run driver, a rideshare vehicle, or a commercial vehicle, additional liability rules may apply. We'll walk you through them on the call.
Motorcycle injury claims often involve serious harm such as spinal cord injuries or brain injuries. Our team handles every aspect of your case so you can focus on healing. Here is how we help:
Riders have no protective shell around them, so injuries tend to be far more serious and far more expensive to treat than in a car accident.
Texas minimum liability coverage is just $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident, which rarely covers the full cost of a serious motorcycle crash. That is why we pursue all available coverage sources, including underinsured motorist claims.
We do everything in our power to aggressively advocate for injured San Antonio motorcyclists. Though we take a hard-line approach with the insurance companies, we treat each client like we treat our family. Our team is committed to making clients feel comfortable, giving them peace of mind, and helping get them on the road to recovery.
You hire Eric, you work with Eric. Most motorcycle claims settle, but every case here is built as if it is going to trial. That is what moves an insurance company off a lowball number.
San Antonio's highway system creates specific hazards for riders that car drivers rarely think about.
Some of the heaviest traffic in the state. Construction zones, merging ramps and 18-wheelers sharing lanes with motorcycles. Rear-end collisions are common when traffic suddenly slows.
High-speed traffic with commercial driveways and short merge lanes. Drivers leaving shopping centers and gas stations pull out without checking for motorcycles.
Rapid development means constant construction, shifting lane patterns, and unfamiliar drivers at new interchanges. Highest risk during evening commute hours.
High speeds and limited lighting make nighttime riding hazardous, and deer crossings add a risk unique to this stretch.
Narrow lanes, street parking doors opening into traffic, and pedestrian activity around the Pearl District and Brackenridge Park.

Understanding these laws helps protect your legal rights after a crash.
Riders under 21 must wear a DOT-approved helmet. Riders 21 and older are exempt if they carry at least $10,000 in health insurance coverage or have completed an approved motorcycle safety course. Not wearing a helmet does not automatically bar you from recovering compensation, but the insurance company may argue it contributed to your injuries.
Illegal in Texas. Riders must stay within a single lane. If the other driver claims you were lane splitting and you were not, witness statements and physical evidence become critical to your defense.
Motorcycles must operate with headlights on at all times while in motion, day and night.
Required unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windscreen.
Handlebars cannot extend above the rider's shoulder height.
Texas requires minimum liability coverage of $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage. Many drivers carry only the minimum, which rarely covers the full cost of a serious motorcycle crash. Eric Ramos pursues all available coverage sources, including underinsured motorist claims.
