Proven Legal Counsel For Motorcycle Accident Victims In The Woodlands And Beyond
Texans like to ride, and the areas around The Woodlands, Houston, Baytown, Texas City and Pasadena are full of scenic roads and busy highways, such as the Sam Houston National Forest and the I-45. Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are far too common and result in more serious injuries than your average car accident.
At The Leigh Law Firm, our experienced trial attorneys have a wealth of experience and a successful track record representing Texas clients in motorcycle litigation. Our founding attorney, Brad Leigh, worked for many years as the right-hand man of legendary Texas personal injury lawyer, John M. O’Quinn. We bring this experience to bear on every case we handle.

We Won’t Back Down From A Fight
We prepare our cases for trial as early as possible. This preparation gives us a tremendous strategic advantage in negotiation and trial, so we can get the most favorable results possible for our clients.
Especially in motorcycle accident cases, many jury members are predisposed to blame the motorcyclist for an accident, so preparation and aggressive litigation are crucial to achieving positive outcomes.
Determining Causation And Damages
Far too many motorcycle accident cases are handled as though they were simple car crashes. We understand the extraordinary circumstances that can lead to motorcycle crashes, and the catastrophic injuries that can result from them.
When necessary, we work with a network of experts, including investigators, accident reconstructionists, doctors, life care specialists and other experts, to determine the exact causes of motorcycle accidents and the full extent of the long-term damages that motorcycle accident victims suffer. We are also highly experienced in pursuing wrongful death cases resulting from fatal accidents.
Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents
If you have any questions about your motorcycle accident, you may find the answers below:
Should I accept a settlement offer from the insurance company without speaking to a lawyer?
No. Even if you are offered a settlement offer from an insurance company that seems fair, you should not accept. Insurance companies prioritize profits, so they will often offer low payouts to victims of motorcycle accidents in hopes of securing a quick settlement and release of liability. Our attorneys at The Leigh Law Firm can negotiate a compensation offer that is genuinely reflective of your losses, including your future anticipated medical bills and lost wages. At a minimum, have an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer review a settlement offer before you accept.
Who do I seek compensation from after a Texas motorcycle accident?
When filing a motorcycle accident claim, you are seeking compensation from the liable parties. Typically, this means the driver who caused the collision and your injuries or their insurance company. If it is unclear who the liable party is, our attorneys can help you identify who is responsible for your injuries and losses.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the motorcycle accident?
Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence system. A modified comparative negligence system designates fault to each party according to their actions. Victims of motorcycle accidents can still recover damages so long as they are less than 50% at fault, but the damages will be reduced according to their determined percentage of responsibility. For example, if you were 20% at fault for an accident, then you could recover 80% of the awarded damages.
What is a good reason to seek the help of a Texas motorcycle accident attorney?
A Texas motorcycle accident attorney can prevent you from being unfairly blamed for a wreck due to anti-motorcyclist bias and help you determine what a fair settlement looks like in your case. An experienced lawyer will advocate for you during negotiations and – if necessary – take your claim to trial.
