Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Your Case
How does anti-motorcycle bias affect my case? +
Insurance adjusters and juries may assume motorcyclists were speeding or reckless. CDF Law builds a complete factual record: speed analysis, road conditions, driver behavior, and all available video footage.
Do I need to wear a helmet in Texas, and does it affect my claim? +
Texas requires helmets for riders under 21. Riders over 21 who complete a safety course or carry medical insurance are exempt. Not wearing a helmet does not automatically reduce your damages.
What if the driver claims they didn't see me? +
'I didn't see them' may actually establish negligence — drivers have a duty to observe all road users. CDF Law uses accident reconstruction to prove what a reasonable driver should have seen.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim? +
Two years from the date of the accident under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003.
