You’re cruising down I-45 or maybe cutting through the mess that is Westheimer. One second, everything’s fine. The next, a distracted driver changes lanes without looking and plows right into you. You hit the pavement hard. Your bike is trashed, your body’s wrecked, and you’re lying there thinking, “What the hell just happened?” EMTs show up, cops start asking questions, and before you know it, the at-fault driver’s insurance company calls to “check in.”
Make no mistake—they’re not here to help. They’re here to pay as little as possible.
Motorcycle wrecks in Houston aren’t rare. In fact, they’re becoming more common. In 2022, Texas recorded 562 motorcycle fatalities and 2,400+ serious injuries, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. When it happens to you, you need someone who doesn’t just know the law—you need someone who gets results. That’s JCJ Law Group. We don’t wait for justice. We go out and take it.
This article breaks down exactly why and when to call us after a motorcycle wreck in Houston.
Why you must contact a lawyer for a motorcycle accident in Houston
Because insurance companies will screw you if you let them
The insurance adjuster isn’t your buddy. They’re trained to get you to talk, admit fault, downplay your injuries, and settle for peanuts. Don’t fall for it. Once you start talking, they start building a case against you. A lawyer shuts that down immediately.
Because motorcycle wrecks usually lead to serious injuries
We’re not talking fender-benders here. When a car hits a bike, the biker loses—hard. Head trauma, spinal injuries, broken bones, road rash so bad you’re basically skinned alive. These injuries take months to recover from, if at all. You need someone who can calculate what that recovery’s going to cost and fight to get every dime out of the at-fault party’s pocket.
Because fault is almost always contested
Motorcyclists get blamed. Every damn time. “They were going too fast.” “They came out of nowhere.” “They were weaving through traffic.” Even if the other driver clearly caused the crash, they’ll still try to pin it on you. A good lawyer can destroy those tired narratives.
Because medical bills pile up fast—and hospitals play dirty
Houston hospitals and freestanding ERs love to rack up massive bills and refuse to bill your health insurance. Why? Because they want a cut of your settlement. At JCJ Law Group, we don’t just fight the insurance companies—we fight the hospitals, too. We’ll fix the billing mess they made and even testify as expert witnesses to knock down their ridiculous charges.
Because the clock is ticking
Texas gives you two years to file a lawsuit. But evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. Police reports get buried in bureaucracy. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can start building a case that actually holds up in court.
When to call a lawyer for a motorcycle accident in Houston
When you’re injured—even if it seems minor
Some injuries don’t show up right away. That sore neck? It could be a herniated disc. That headache? Could be a TBI. If you’re hurt, even a little, call a lawyer. We’ll make sure you don’t get left holding the bag for injuries that should’ve been covered by the other driver.
When the insurance company contacts you
They’ll call fast, act friendly, and ask “just a few questions.” Don’t answer. Don’t give a recorded statement. Don’t sign anything. The moment they contact you, contact JCJ Law Group. We’ll shut down their games and make sure they know you’re not rolling over.
When you get a lowball settlement offer
Insurance companies throw out early offers, hoping you’re desperate enough to bite. Don’t. You probably don’t even know what your case is really worth yet. Let us review it. We’ll tell you if it’s fair—and if it’s not, we’ll show them what fair looks like in court.
When your bike is totaled
Your motorcycle isn’t just transportation—it’s part of your identity. Insurance adjusters love to undercut the value of bikes, especially if they think you’ll take whatever they offer. We make sure they pay full value for your ride or replace it properly.
When you’re too hurt to work
Lost wages are a huge part of any personal injury case. If you’re missing work—or worse, can’t ever return—your damages skyrocket. We know how to calculate future lost income and make sure it’s included in your claim. Don’t assume a few missed checks are “just part of it.” You deserve better. You deserve compensation for everything you have or could have lost.
