Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Fort Worth
Rider Injury Firm with Millions Won
Motorcycle accidents are disproportionately dangerous compared to other types of traffic collisions. According to NHTSA, motorcyclists are nearly 27 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a crash, and nearly 5 times more likely to be injured, largely because riders don't have the structural protection an enclosed vehicle provides. A “fender bender” that would leave a car occupant uninjured can leave a motorcyclist with life-changing injuries.
Mizani Law Firm handles motorcycle accident cases in Fort Worth, Dallas, and across Texas, and we understand the unique complexities these cases raise, from insurance companies' tendency to unfairly blame riders for accidents that weren't their fault, to the more severe injuries typically involved. Our attorneys prepare every case as if it's headed to trial and bring a proven track record of securing favorable outcomes for injured riders.

Motorcycle Accident Laws in Texas
Motorcycle riders in Fort Worth must follow the same traffic laws as other drivers, along with a few rules specific to motorcycles. Lane splitting (riding between lanes of moving or stopped traffic) is illegal in Texas under Texas Transportation Code § 545.0605, but motorcyclists are entitled to full use of a lane, meaning other drivers can't crowd them out of it.
Texas's helmet law is more nuanced than many riders realize: riders and passengers under 21 must always wear a DOT-compliant helmet, but riders 21 or older can legally ride without one if they've completed an approved motorcycle safety course or carry qualifying medical insurance, under Texas Transportation Code § 661.003. Motorcycles are also subject to the same minimum insurance requirements as other vehicles.
If you're building a motorcycle accident case in Fort Worth, three factors matter most:
- Negligence: Establishing that the other party engaged in negligent behavior, such as speeding or reckless driving, that contributed to the accident.
- Damages: The extent of injuries and losses incurred, including physical injuries, property damage, and emotional distress.
- Causation: The direct link between the other party's negligence and the injuries suffered.
Our Fort Worth motorcycle accident lawyers understand the physical and emotional burden a motorcycle accident can impose. We handle claims for economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage, as well as non-economic damages like pain and suffering that are often undervalued by insurance companies. Our approach is grounded in meticulous preparation and a genuine willingness to go to trial, a strategy that has worked against the largest insurance companies in the country.

-
Seek immediate medical attention, report the accident to law enforcement, gather evidence if possible, and consult with a local motorcycle accident attorney in Fort Worth.
-
Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule: you can recover damages as long as you were 50% or less at fault, though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
-
Compensation is typically determined by the nature and severity of your injuries, the extent of your financial losses, and whether the other party was negligent.
-
Yes. You may be able to recover damages through your own insurance policy's uninsured motorist coverage.
-
Not wearing a helmet doesn't bar you from recovering compensation, even if you didn't qualify for the adult helmet exemption. That said, insurance companies sometimes argue that a lack of head protection made your injuries worse, which can affect the value of your claim. An attorney can help push back on that argument where it doesn't hold up.
-
Most Fort Worth motorcycle accident attorneys, including Mizani Law Firm, work on a contingency fee basis. You only pay if we win your case, and the fee comes out of the compensation you receive.
