Are You Within the Legal Time Limit to Seek Compensation?
The statute of limitations is the time limit you have to file a lawsuit for compensation for your injury-related expenses. In Texas, the statute of limitations for motorcycle accidents is two years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file your claim within that time frame, you may be denied compensation. There can be exceptions to this law, however, based on your unique circumstances. Having an experienced motorcycle accident attorney on your side will ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines.
At Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC, we will help you seek the maximum amount of compensation you deserve for your losses. We will dive into every detail of your case to ensure not a single penny is left unclaimed. Contact us today to learn more in a free case review.

What Compensation Can I Recover?
While the circumstances of motorcycle accidents and injuries can vary, if you were injured because of someone else’s reckless decisions, you’re entitled to compensation for any expenses or losses caused by the accident and your injuries. These may include:
- Medical expenses for hospitalization, therapy, medication, specialist visits, and adaptive equipment.
- Loss of income from missing work, using vacation or sick days, or needing to switch jobs because of your injuries.
- Property damage for the repair or replacement cost of your motorcycle.
In some cases, you may also seek compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment of life.

How Can a Lawyer Help?
Motorcycle accidents can have devastating injuries that could leave you in pain, confined to a hospital bed, or busy with therapy and specialist appointments. Motorcycle accident cases are often more complicated than other vehicle accidents too. The last thing you’ll want to do is navigate your accident claim on top of your recovery, and doing so could result in you receiving a lower settlement than you deserve. Having a lawyer on your side not only relieves the burden of a legal pursuit of compensation, but it also puts you in a better position to receive the compensation you’re entitled to recover.
Our lawyers will handle everything on your behalf, tracking down and compiling all the necessary evidence for a strong case. We will also be your loyal advocates and stand up for your rights when negotiating for the compensation you deserve. We will ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines and that your case is strong while you focus on resting and recovering from your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m Partly at Fault?
Texas is a modified comparative negligence state. If you’re partly to blame for your accident, the court will assign you a percentage of fault, and your compensation will be reduced by that percentage. If you’re found to be more than 50% to blame, you may not be entitled to any compensation. The lawyers at Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC are experienced in proving fault in motorcycle accident claims and can help you with your case.
What if I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?
In Texas, motorcyclists are required to wear a helmet unless they’ve completed an approved motorcycle operator training course or have medical insurance coverage that applies to motorcycle accident injuries. Even if you weren’t wearing a helmet during your accident, you may still be entitled to compensation if another driver caused the accident. Contact our experienced Austin, Texas, motorcycle accident lawyers today to learn more about your options.
How Do I Know if My Motorcycle Helmet Is Approved Under Texas Law?
While shopping for a helmet, look for a U.S. Department of Transportation label on the helmet. This label indicates the helmet meets federal safety standards. If you’re concerned about the helmet you were wearing in your accident, be sure to call Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC, to speak to an attorney about your options.
Should I Talk to the Insurance Company?
The insurance company is not on your side. If the insurance company calls, direct them to your lawyer at Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC, or your own insurance company to avoid saying anything that may hurt your case.
What if My Injuries are Minor?
Accident injuries can be tricky. Some injuries only appear minor at first but may become more severe in the days or weeks following the accident. To be safe, always seek medical attention and consult with an experienced attorney, such as the team at Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC.
