Fault Scenarios in Motorcycle Accidents
Understanding fault is critical in determining potential compensation.
Full Fault
If another driver is entirely responsible for a crash, they may be liable for all damages. Injured riders can recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
Partial Fault
When fault is shared, compensation is reduced by the rider's percentage of responsibility. For example, if you are 30% at fault, your recovery is reduced by that amount. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
No Fault
Certain coverages, like Personal Injury Protection (PIP), may provide benefits regardless of fault, covering immediate medical expenses while liability is determined.
Comparative Fault (Texas Law)
Texas applies a modified comparative fault rule: if a rider is 51% or more responsible, they cannot recover. If 50% or less, compensation is reduced proportionally. (Refer: Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §33.001)
ABOUT LAKHANI & MCGRATH
What Percentage of Motorcycle Accidents Are Fatal?
Motorcycle accidents remain a serious concern in Texas. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, over 9,000 motorcycle crashes occur annually, resulting in hundreds of fatalities and thousands of severe injuries. In 2024, approximately 581 motorcyclists died statewide, with more than 2,500 suffering serious injuries.
Riders are highly vulnerable because motorcycles lack the structural protection of cars. Even moderate-speed collisions can be catastrophic.
