Understanding Intersection Motorcycle Accidents
Intersection motorcycle accidents are among the most common motorcycle crashes because multiple vehicles, traffic signals, pedestrians, and turning movements converge in one location. Many collisions occur when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way, run red lights, or fail to see an approaching motorcycle. At Lakhani & McGrath, we thoroughly investigate every intersection accident to identify liable parties and pursue full compensation for injured riders.

Fault Scenarios in Intersection Motorcycle Accidents
Determining fault in an intersection motorcycle accident often requires reviewing traffic laws, police reports, witness statements, traffic signal data, and surveillance footage. Liability depends on which driver failed to obey traffic laws or yield the right-of-way.
Full Fault
If another driver causes the intersection accident by running a red light, ignoring a stop sign, making an unsafe turn, or failing to yield to an approaching motorcycle, that driver may be fully liable for the resulting injuries and damages. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001, injured riders may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, motorcycle repairs, pain and suffering, and other losses.
Partial Fault
In some cases, both the motorcyclist and another driver may share responsibility. For example, allegations of speeding, improper lane positioning, or failure to obey traffic signals may reduce compensation according to each party's percentage of fault under Texas comparative negligence law.
No Fault
Although Texas follows a fault-based insurance system, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage may provide benefits for medical expenses and certain other losses regardless of who caused the intersection collision.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001. If you are 51% or more at fault, you generally cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
ABOUT LAKHANI & MCGRATH
What Percentage of Intersection Motorcycle Accidents Are Fatal?
Intersection motorcycle accidents are among the most common and dangerous types of motorcycle crashes in Houston and throughout 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 dangers riders face on Texas roads.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable because they lack the protection of passenger vehicles. When drivers fail to yield the right-of-way or misjudge a motorcycle’s speed at an intersection, the resulting collision can cause catastrophic or fatal 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 intersection motorcycle accident.
