Why Injured Riders Choose Our Firm

After a crash, many riders worry that no one will truly hear their side of the story. At Law Office of Michael Munoz, we take the time to understand how the collision happened, what you’ve been through since, and what matters most going forward. Clients work directly with Attorney Michael Muñoz rather than being passed through layers of staff. That direct access continues from the first call through resolution of the claim.

Our practice has been based in Mansfield since 2003, and we regularly assist people from across Tarrant County dealing with insurers and legal proceedings tied to serious injuries. We’re familiar with the roads our clients travel, the insurers they face, and the court procedures that apply when a claim moves into Tarrant County civil district courts. We use that familiarity to build a plan that fits the specific facts of your situation. Free consultations and flexible payment plans are available so that representation remains accessible, regardless of where you stand financially after the crash.

Common Motorcycle Crash Scenarios in Tarrant County

Serious crashes happen across this county in recognizable patterns. At intersections, drivers turn left in front of an oncoming bike and claim they never saw the rider. On multi-lane corridors like Interstate 20 and State Highway 287, drivers change lanes without checking blind spots or follow too closely in heavy traffic. In Fort Worth and Arlington, where traffic density is higher, frequent lane changes and distracted driving on surface streets add additional risk. Many of these collisions leave riders with little room to react, resulting in fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or severe road rash.

When a crash involves shared blame, Texas law becomes central to what you can recover. Under section 33.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, a rider who is 50% or less at fault can still recover compensation. It is reduced proportionally by their share of fault. A rider found 51% or more at fault can’t recover anything. Insurance companies use this rule strategically, arguing that a rider’s speed, lane position, or gear inflated their share of blame in order to reduce or deny what they owe. The assumption that imperfect riding behavior bars recovery isn’t accurate under Texas law. Liability analysis is fact-specific. We review the details of each crash to assess how comparative fault may actually affect your claim.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash

The moments after a crash are often disorienting, especially when you’re in pain. Taking certain steps when you’re able helps protect both your health and your legal rights.

Key steps to consider after a motorcycle collision:

• Move to a safer location if you can, then call 911 so police and medical responders can reach the scene.
• Accept medical evaluation even if you feel you can walk away. Some serious injuries aren’t obvious right away, and delaying care can give insurers grounds to argue the crash didn’t cause your injuries.
• Exchange information with the other driver and collect contact details for any witnesses who stopped.
• Photograph the scene, the vehicles involved, and any visible injuries if you or someone with you is able.
• Preserve your helmet, riding gear, and damaged parts rather than repairing or discarding them.
• Avoid providing recorded statements to any insurance company or signing documents before getting legal advice.
• Contact an attorney to review what happened before making further contact with insurers.

How We Handle Motorcycle Injury Claims

When you reach out to Law Office of Michael Munoz, the first step is a free consultation where Attorney Muñoz listens as you describe the crash, your injuries, and any insurer contact you’ve already had. We then outline what a potential claim may involve and answer your questions before you decide anything.

If you move forward, our team gathers police reports, medical records, photographs, and witness information. We review this material with you so you understand what the evidence shows and how it may affect your options. Throughout the process, we explain legal terms in plain language and discuss important decisions before they’re made. Clients can reach Attorney Muñoz directly, and our staff is available for day-to-day questions.

If Spanish is your preferred language, we can discuss your case, review documents, and answer questions in Spanish. Legal processes are difficult enough without a language barrier making them harder. We also discuss fee arrangements directly, including how our flexible payment options work, because many riders are already carrying medical bills when they first contact us.

Damages a Motorcycle Crash Claim May Address

Motorcycle crashes often produce injuries that affect far more than the first hospital visit. Riders may face fractures, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal cord damage requiring ongoing treatment that limits work and daily life. Even when physical recovery is possible, pain, mental anguish, and lost independence can persist well beyond the acute phase.

Under Texas law, a personal injury claim arising from a motorcycle crash may seek compensation for economic losses including past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity if you can’t return to the same type of work. Non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life may also be recoverable. When a crash results in death, Texas law allows certain surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim that may address financial loss, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and funeral expenses. The specific damages available in any case depend on the facts, the medical evidence, and how the injuries affect daily life and family relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Help If I Speak Only Spanish?

Yes. Our team is bilingual and regularly assists Spanish-speaking clients and families. We can explain each step of the process, review documents, and answer questions in Spanish so you can make fully informed decisions about your case.

What If I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?

You may still have a case. Whether helmet use affects a claim depends on the specific injuries involved and how insurers or a court weighs that detail in your situation. Not wearing a helmet doesn’t automatically bar a claim. It’s a factor we’ll discuss when reviewing your circumstances.

How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Texas?

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 16.003, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash date. Waiting to consult an attorney shortens the time available to gather evidence and build the claim. If your crash involved a government vehicle or a road defect caused by a public entity, shorter notice deadlines may also apply. Contacting us promptly can give us the opportunity to protect your rights.
