YOUR RECOVERY. OUR FOCUS.
We start with
the left turn.
An SUV turns left across Garland Road. The driver tells the officer he never saw you. Twenty minutes later you’re in an ambulance, and your bike is on a flatbed headed to a yard in Oak Cliff.
In the review we ask where the SUV was waiting and what was blocking the driver’s view. We ask whether a camera on the corner caught your headlight. Then we look at your helmet, your jacket and the scrape marks on them. Gear often shows how you hit, and how fast.
Let’s talk about your situationA trial lawyer reads your file.
Aaron Herbert is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law. Check it on the State Bar of Texas site. Then ask him how he would answer the “bikers ride reckless” line in front of a Dallas County jury.
We take the bias head on.
Insurers often open a motorcycle file by asking about speed, lane position and gear. We collect the proof that answers those questions before the adjuster finishes asking them.
You hear it straight.
If something you did will hurt the claim, we tell you during the review. You’ll also know who handles your file and how to reach them.

What the numbers
say about riding
in Texas.
TxDOT reports 559 motorcyclists, riders and passengers, were killed on Texas roads in 2025.
How many of those riders wore helmets?
TxDOT says 31% of the motorcyclists killed in 2025 were not wearing a helmet. So most of the riders who died had one on. A helmet does not stop a car from turning left in front of you.
How busy are Dallas County roads?
TxDOT counted 43,946 crashes in Dallas County in 2025, with 274 people killed. That count includes every car, truck and motorcycle on I-30, LBJ Freeway and the side streets in between.
Do I have to wear a helmet in Texas?
Riders under 21 do. If you’re 21 or older, you can ride without one after a state rider safety course, or with health insurance that covers motorcycle crash injuries. Riding bare-headed can come up when the insurer argues about a head injury.
Is lane splitting legal here?
Texas law bars riding between lanes of traffic moving the same way. The same section gives a motorcycle the right to the full use of its lane. Two bikes may ride side by side in one lane. That rule has been in place since September 1, 2023.
WHY CHOOSE AARON HERBERT?
What a motorcycle case
review should cover.
Use the free review to test us. Ask how we would answer the speed argument, which records we’d get first, and how the fee works. Each answer should be plain.
From the firm: why speaking with an injury attorney matters.
Where was the car that hit you?
We map the scene from the report and your photos. Where did the bike end up? Final resting spots often tell more than the drivers do.
What does your gear show?
Scuffs on the helmet, road rash on the left sleeve, a bent foot peg. Keep all of it, unwashed and unrepaired.
Whose insurance is on the hook?
Start with the driver who hit you. Then your own motorcycle policy: PIP, and uninsured motorist coverage if you bought it. Many riders don’t know what they bought.
What your injuries need
A broken wrist, a torn knee, headaches that start a week later. We help you find doctors in Dallas and talk through how the bills get paid while the claim is open.
The adjuster asked how fast I was going.
Don’t guess on a recorded call. Once you hire us, the adjuster calls our office, not your phone.
Do I owe you anything for this?
Not for the review. If you hire us and we don’t recover money, you owe no fee and no expenses. We’ll write out a sample split so you can see the math.
BEFORE YOUR CASE REVIEW
What to bring
to the table.
Bring what you have. A report number and a photo of the bike is enough to start.
Your helmet and gear.
Bring them, or photos if you can’t carry them. Don’t throw out a cracked helmet or a torn jacket.
The crash report number.
It’s on the card the officer gave you. TxDOT sells copies online for $6, or $8 for a certified one.
Photos and any video.
Your bike, the other car, the intersection, your injuries. Ask riding buddies for helmet-cam footage the same day.
Your insurance papers.
The declarations page for your motorcycle policy shows your PIP and uninsured motorist limits. Bring any letters from the other driver’s insurer too.
Insurers move totaled bikes to salvage auctions fast. Business cameras record over old footage within days. Call soon so we can ask everyone to hold what they have.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CLAIM
The review is step one.
The claim is built
on proof.
Texas is an at-fault state. The driver who caused the crash, through that driver’s insurer, pays for the harm. Here’s what we build after the review.
Fault, shown with evidence.
Say a sedan pulls out of a Greenville Avenue parking lot into your path. We want the store camera, the sedan’s damage and the gouge marks the bike left. A crash reconstruction expert can turn those into speed and timing.
Your share, if the insurer claims one.
Texas splits fault by percentage. You recover nothing above 50%. If a jury puts 10% on you, the award drops by a tenth. We fight to keep that number low.
A record of what changed.
Months of rehab. A job you can’t do with a rebuilt shoulder. A riding season, or a hobby, gone. Each loss needs a bill, a pay stub or a witness.

CLEAR ANSWERS. A BETTER NEXT STEP.
Motorcycle case review
questions.
Your situation is unique.
We’re here to listen.
What does the case review cost?
Nothing. If you hire us, you pay no fee or expenses unless you recover. The contract spells out the fee before you sign.
I wasn’t wearing a helmet. Can I still bring a claim?
Often you can, when the other driver caused the crash. The insurer may argue the helmet would have changed a head injury. It rarely matters for a broken leg.
How long do I have to file?
Usually two years from the crash date. A few rules move that date, and a claim against a city has much shorter notice rules. See CPRC §16.003 ↗.
A pothole or loose gravel put me down. Who pays?
Sometimes a city or TxDOT. Claims against a government have their own rules, and the Tort Claims Act sets a six-month notice deadline. A city charter can set its own deadline. See CPRC §101.101 ↗.
The driver had no insurance. What now?
Look at your own motorcycle policy for UM/UIM coverage. Texas insurers have to include it unless you turned it down in writing (Insurance Code §1952.101). Bring the declarations page.
Do I have to come to the office?
Our office is at 8330 LBJ Freeway, Suite 700. Come in if you can. If you’re in a cast, start with a call and text us photos.
What if you don’t take my case?
We tell you during the review and explain why. You still leave knowing your deadline and what proof to keep.
