53% of the riders who get fatally injured in crashes include riders without helmets. Although according to the Texas Law pertaining to motorcycle helmets, if you are 21 or older and have proof that you have successfully completed a training course for motorcycle safety, and you have a medical insurance policy, than you are not required to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.
However, it is important to understand that the lack of a helmet may affect your compensation if you suffered from a head injury during a crash. But if the injuries are not related to the head then whether you were or not wearing a helmet is irrelevant to the case.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident due to someone else’s negligence, even if you were not wearing a helmet, call our Dallas motorcycle accident attorneys today.

As motorcycle crashes are so severe, the first thing that you should do is dial 911 to have an ambulance and a police officer sent to the accident scene. The ambulance will take you to the nearest hospital for medical assistance. However, if you are in a position to take photos of the accident scene then do so for evidence purpose. Also, make sure to note the plate number of the car that hit you, and get the contact information of the driver, too.

After the motorcycle accident, you are most likely to be contacted by an insurance adjuster from the person responsible for the accident, who will want to take a statement from you. If this happens, do not get involved with the insurance adjuster, instead decline politely or tell them to contact your Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer.
Make sure you do not talk about the crash with anyone as anything you say can be used against you by the insurer to minimize or even deny your accident claim thereby protecting their profits by limiting what they pay to you.
However, if you have an experienced auto accident lawyer specializing in motorcycle accidents at Thompson Law representing your case, we will protect you and seek maximum compensation for the injuries and losses incurred due to the motorcycle accident.

Motorcycle accident claims often involve serious injuries, disputed liability, insurance challenges, and questions about your legal rights. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from injured riders and their families.
If you don’t see your question here, our Dallas motorcycle accident lawyers are available to explain your options and help you understand the next steps after a crash.
Yes. Texas law does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation if you were not wearing a helmet. However, the insurance company may argue that the lack of a helmet contributed to certain injuries. A motorcycle accident lawyer can evaluate how Texas law applies to your specific case.
Depending on your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other accident-related losses. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries and the available insurance coverage.
In most cases, Texas gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can make it harder to preserve evidence and may prevent you from recovering compensation, so it's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may still have options. If you carry uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, your own insurance policy may provide compensation. A Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer can review all available insurance coverage and identify every potential source of recovery.
Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are 50% or less responsible for the accident, you may still recover compensation. Your recovery is generally reduced by your percentage of fault.
Insurance companies frequently try to blame motorcyclists by claiming they were speeding or riding recklessly. A thorough investigation, including crash scene evidence, witness statements, and accident reconstruction when necessary, can help establish what actually happened.
Important evidence includes the police report, photographs of the crash scene, witness statements, medical records, helmet and motorcycle damage, surveillance footage, and any available dashcam footage. Preserving this evidence early can significantly strengthen your claim.
