Decatur, TX Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Protecting the Rights of Injured Riders in Decatur and Wise County
A motorcycle wreck doesn’t have to be high-speed to be life-altering. When a car or truck driver makes a careless move — turns left without looking, follows too closely, or drifts into your lane — it’s the rider who takes the hit. In Decatur and across Wise County, these wrecks happen far too often.
At Hoover Rogers Law, LLP, our Decatur motorcycle accident lawyers advocate for riders who have been seriously injured by negligent drivers. We understand how these cases differ from other accidents, and we know what it takes to hold negligent drivers accountable. If you were injured or a loved one was killed in a motorcycle accident, contact us for a free injury consultation now.
The risk is real on Wise County roads
Motorcycles are a common sight on US-287, FM-51, and around Decatur’s scenic backroads. But riders face a much higher risk of injury or death than those in enclosed vehicles, especially when other drivers aren’t paying attention.
We’ve handled cases involving:
- Drivers turning left in front of motorcycles
- Unsafe lane changes that crowd riders
- Rear-end collisions at stop signs and intersections
- Dooring incidents in town
- Drivers who claim they “didn’t see” the motorcycle
- Speeding and distracted driving
- Debris or hazards left in the road
Motorcycle crashes often result in catastrophic injuries, including Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs), road rash, broken bones, spinal cord damage, internal bleeding, and fatalities. Some motorcycle accidents are fatal. The physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming.
Biased assumptions hurt motorcycle accident claims
Too often, injured motorcyclists face an uphill battle — not just physically, but legally. Insurance companies are quick to blame the rider, even when the evidence shows the driver was at fault. They may claim you were speeding, weaving, or riding recklessly simply because you were on a bike.
The Decatur motorcycle accident lawyers at Hoover Rogers Law, LLP, don’t let those tactics stand. We know Texas motorcycle laws. We understand how to build evidence-backed cases that overcome bias and secure the compensation injured riders deserve.
What compensation can a motorcycle accident lawyer pursue?
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Surgeries, rehab, and ongoing treatment
- Lost income and future lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Loss of mobility or quality of life
- Motorcycle repair or replacement
- Wrongful death benefits for families
Because motorcycle injuries are often severe, the stakes are high, and so is the pressure to settle quickly. Do not accept a lowball offer without talking to an attorney first.
Proving fault in a motorcycle crash
Texas is an at-fault state, which means the driver who caused the crash — and their insurance company — is responsible for the damages. However, proving fault requires more than just pointing fingers. It requires real evidence and an effective legal strategy.
Our Decatur motorcycle accident attorneys conduct thorough investigations that may include:
- Reviewing police reports and dashcam footage
- Collecting witness statements
- Reconstructing the crash with expert analysis
- Analyzing road conditions and vehicle damage
- Reviewing the other driver’s phone records or driving history
We build strong, detailed claims that insurance adjusters can’t ignore — and if they try to underpay or deny responsibility, we’re prepared to take your case to trial.
You don’t have forever, and evidence disappears fast
In Texas, you typically have two years from the date of the crash to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit. But don’t wait that long. Surveillance footage can be erased. Witnesses forget. The bike gets repaired or sold.
The sooner you contact Hoover Rogers Law, LLP, the sooner we can secure critical evidence and begin protecting your rights.
