Motorcyclists are 29 times more likely to die in a crash than passenger car occupants. And when a crash occurs, insurers often blame the rider first. We fight that bias head-on.

Motorcyclists face a unique and persistent prejudice in personal injury claims. Insurance adjusters and even some juries assume that riders are reckless by default — a bias that has nothing to do with the facts of any individual crash. In reality, the majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers who fail to see the motorcycle, make unsafe lane changes, or turn left directly into a rider's path.
Texas law permits riders over 21 to forgo a helmet if they carry at least $10,000 in medical insurance coverage or have completed an approved safety course. However, riding without a helmet does not mean you are at fault for a collision caused by another driver's negligence — and it does not prevent you from recovering full damages. Under Texas's modified comparative fault rule, your compensation is reduced only by your own percentage of fault, and only if that percentage is 51% or less.
Alam Law Firm has experience countering the 'looked but failed to see' defense that insurers routinely deploy in motorcycle cases. We retain accident reconstruction experts when needed, obtain dashcam and surveillance footage before it disappears, and build cases that present riders as the careful, skilled operators they are. We work on contingency — no fees unless we recover for you.
Types of Motorcycle Accident Cases
The most common type of motorcycle crash — a driver turns left across the rider's lane of travel. We establish the rider's right of way and the driver's failure to yield.
Drivers who fail to check blind spots before changing lanes are fully liable for striking a motorcycle legally traveling in that lane. We document skid marks, vehicle positions, and witness accounts.
Motorcycles stop faster than cars, and rear-end collisions at speed are often fatal or catastrophic. We pursue full damages including future medical care and long-term disability.
Potholes, debris, uneven pavement, and missing lane markings can be fatal for riders. When government entities or contractors fail to maintain safe roads, we pursue liability claims on your behalf.
Road rash, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and amputations require long-term care plans. We retain life care planners and economists to quantify the full value of your claim.
Impaired drivers who strike motorcyclists face both compensatory and punitive damage claims. We pursue every available avenue for maximum recovery, including dram shop liability where applicable.
