Fault Scenarios in Motorcycle Accidents
Understanding how fault works in motorcycle accidents helps you know your legal rights and potential compensation.
Full Fault
When another driver is entirely responsible for a motorcycle accident, they are liable for all resulting damages. Texas law allows injured riders to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
Partial Fault
If both parties share responsibility, compensation is reduced according to each party’s percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 30% at fault, your recovery will be reduced by 30%. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
No Fault
Although Texas follows a fault-based insurance system, certain coverages, including Personal Injury Protection (PIP), can provide benefits regardless of who caused the motorcycle accident, helping cover medical expenses and other immediate costs while liability is determined.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
ABOUT LAKHANI & MCGRATH
What Percentage of Motorcycle Accidents Are Fatal?
Motorcycle accidents remain a serious safety issue 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 high risks of riding.
Riders are particularly vulnerable because they lack the protection of passenger vehicles. While helmet use significantly reduces injury severity, serious or permanent injuries can still occur. 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 motorcycle crash.
