Houston motorcycle accident lawyers fighting for injured riders
Let our attorneys handle every aspect of your claim
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle wreck that wasn’t your fault, our Houston motorcycle accident attorneys can help you get maximum compensation for your damages. Smith & Hassler has over 30 years of experience getting results for clients in Houston and takes pride in helping bikers get every dollar they deserve.
Whether riding is a hobby or your way of life, motorcycles can be a practical and fun way to get around in Texas –but sometimes bad things can happen when you’re out on the road. In the event of a crash, motorcyclists and their passengers have little protection and are by far more vulnerable compared to those driving inside enclosed cars, SUVs, and trucks. Even wearing a helmet and other safety gear might not prevent you from sustaining a serious or debilitating injury.
To make matters worse, you could get stuck with piles of unpaid medical bills, lost wages and other expenses – then have to deal with an insurance adjuster who knows nothing about motorcycles or what you’re going through. They’ll question what role you played, downplay the severity of your crash, and offer you a small check that doesn’t even come close to a realistic settlement offer. What are you supposed to do then?
Get a law firm that cares about riders. Our legal team admires and respects the motorcycle community and understands the negative connotations that are often associated with bikers. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing riders who have been injured in Houston motorcycle accidents and can answer all your questions. We won’t let the insurance company or anyone else use unfair stereotypes to pressure you into accepting minimal compensation.

Do I need a lawyer if I’ve been in a motorcycle accident?
It’s not required, but if you were injured in a motorcycle wreck because of someone else you should strongly consider hiring an attorney to help you recover compensation for your damages. An attorney can help you by:
- Getting you the medical care that you need and deserve
- Performing an exhaustive and thorough investigation into your crash
- Piecing together and preserving key pieces of evidence to build your case
- Seeking out eyewitnesses to provide testimony that supports your claim
- Consulting with top accident reconstruction experts
- Dealing with the insurance company
- Handling negotiations to get you a fair cash settlement
- Taking your case to trial and representing you in court, if necessary
It’s also been shown that hiring an attorney to manage your claim will get you more on average in compensation compared to handling things on your own. If someone you love died in a motorcycle accident due to negligence, an attorney can also help you file a wrongful death lawsuit.
What is the average settlement for a motorcycle accident?
In general, if you were injured in a motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault you may be able to recover compensation for:
