What if the driver who hit me was uninsured?

Damaged motorcycle lying on ground after Texas motorcycle accidentFinding out the driver who hit you doesn’t have insurance can be frustrating, but it doesn’t mean you're out of options. Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can help cover medical bills, lost wages, and other damages if the at-fault driver can’t pay. However, insurance companies don’t always make it easy to access this coverage, even when it’s part of your own policy.

Beyond UM/UIM coverage, other legal options may be available. You might be able to file a personal lawsuit against the at-fault driver to pursue compensation directly, though their ability to pay can be a factor. In some cases, other parties may share liability, such as a bar that overserved a drunk driver or a company responsible for a defective vehicle.

Attorney Coby L. Wooten can investigate all possible sources of compensation and fight to get you what you deserve.

How much is my motorcycle accident settlement worth?

Expenses can add up fast after a serious motorcycle accident. That’s why our Fort Worth motorcycle accident attorneys take great pride in the settlements and verdicts we routinely obtain for motorcycle injury victims.

When it comes to motorcycle accident settlements, amounts can vary. On average, motorcycle accident settlements tend to range from $50,000 to $200,000. However, depending on the specifics of your case, your settlement could fall well below or even reach into the millions, significantly exceeding the average. Factors such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, and the level of negligence involved all come into play when calculating compensation amounts.

The money we secure for injury victims and their families often helps pay for medical bills, vehicle repairs, lost wages, and other expenses. Such settlements and verdicts also send a strong message to insurance companies, which often do everything they can to pay injured motorcyclists as little as possible. That message is loud and clear – if someone causes a motorcycle crash, they should be held accountable for their actions.

Why do insurance companies try to blame motorcyclists for accidents?

Unfortunately, insurance companies hold unfair biases against motorcyclists, assuming they are reckless or take unnecessary risks. They often use this bias to deny or reduce compensation, and they might argue that you were speeding, lane splitting, or otherwise acting irresponsibly, even when the evidence says otherwise.

Additionally, insurance companies try to exploit common misconceptions, such as the idea that riding a motorcycle inherently means accepting a higher level of danger. However, motorcyclists have the same rights as other drivers, and if another party was negligent, they should be held accountable.

Coby L. Wooten and his legal team can push back against these unfair tactics by gathering evidence, consulting accident reconstruction experts, and ensuring the facts (not bias) determine the outcome of your case.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Texas?

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, acting quickly is in your best interest. Evidence can disappear, and insurance companies will start working against you right away. The sooner you contact a Fort Worth motorcycle attorney, the stronger your case will be.
