Fault Scenarios in High-Speed Motorcycle Accidents
Understanding high-speed motorcycle accident fault helps you determine your legal rights and the compensation that may be available.
Full Fault
When a driver’s excessive speed or reckless actions cause a motorcycle accident, they may be responsible for the resulting damages. Texas law allows injured riders to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, motorcycle damage, and other losses caused by negligent actions.
Partial Fault
If both parties contribute to the accident, damages may be divided according to each person's percentage of fault. For example, a speeding driver may have caused the crash while a motorcyclist may have contributed through unsafe riding behavior.
No Fault
Certain insurance benefits may apply regardless of fault, including Personal Injury Protection (PIP). However, Texas generally follows a fault-based system for high-speed motorcycle accident claims.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. If you are 51% or more responsible for the accident, you cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less responsible, your compensation is reduced according to your percentage of fault. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
ABOUT LAKHANI & MCGRATH
What Percentage of High-Speed Motorcycle Accidents Are Fatal?
High-speed motorcycle accidents remain a serious safety concern in Houston and across Texas. The Texas Department of Transportation reports over 9,000 motorcycle crashes each year, with hundreds of riders killed and thousands seriously injured. In 2024, approximately 581 motorcyclists died and about 2,534 were seriously injured statewide, highlighting the significant risks motorcyclists face on Texas roads.
Riders are particularly vulnerable because they lack the protection of passenger vehicles. At high speeds, motorcycle crashes can result in extreme impact forces, increasing the likelihood of fatal or life-altering injuries. Attorneys at Lakhani & McGrath work to hold negligent drivers accountable, helping injured riders and their families pursue justice, secure financial recovery, and achieve long-term stability after a serious high-speed motorcycle accident.
