Fault Scenarios in Motorcycle Hit-and-Run Accidents
Understanding motorcycle hit-and-run accident fault helps you determine your legal rights and the compensation that may be available.
Full Fault
When a driver causes a motorcycle hit-and-run accident and leaves the scene, they may be responsible for 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 driver may have caused the collision while a motorcyclist may have contributed through unsafe riding behavior.
No Fault
Certain insurance benefits may apply regardless of fault, including uninsured motorist coverage. However, Texas generally follows a fault-based system for motorcycle hit-and-run accident claims when determining liability and compensation.
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 Motorcycle Hit-and-Run Accidents Are Fatal?
Motorcycle hit-and-run 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. When drivers strike a motorcycle and flee the scene without providing assistance, the resulting injuries can be severe or life-threatening. Attorneys at Lakhani & McGrath work to identify responsible parties, hold negligent drivers accountable, and help injured riders and their families pursue justice, secure financial recovery, and achieve long-term stability after a serious motorcycle hit-and-run accident.
