Protecting Riders From Unfair Bias & Lowball Insurance Offers

For many motorcyclists, hitting the open road on their bike is more than a hobby, it's a way of life. But motorcyclists who encounter drivers who are distracted, fatigued, inexperienced, intoxicated, or simply careless may discover that what begins as a leisurely ride can quickly turn into a life-changing injury.

Since motorcycles don't offer much physical protection in the event of an accident, their riders often suffer catastrophic injuries, including head trauma, broken bones, amputations, paralysis, internal bleeding, and disfigurement. Some victims are left with disabilities that prevent them from returning to work or require around-the-clock medical care for the rest of their lives.

Riding shouldn't cost you your future. If a negligent driver put you in this position, call (936) 297-7972 to talk through your options with a Pasadena motorcycle accident lawyer at SJ Injury Attorneys.

    Texas's Helmet Law & How It Affects Your Claim

    Under Texas Transportation Code § 661.003, riders and passengers under 21 must wear a DOT-compliant helmet at all times. Riders 21 or older can legally ride without one, but only if they've completed a Department of Public Safety-approved motorcycle safety course, or carry qualifying health insurance that specifically covers injuries from a motorcycle collision.

    Not wearing a helmet doesn't bar you from recovering compensation in Texas. But insurance companies may try to use it against you anyway, arguing that your injuries would have been less severe with one on. Knowing how to counter that argument is exactly the kind of thing an experienced motorcycle accident attorney can help with.

    Benefits of Hiring an Experienced Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

    Your first step after a motorcycle accident should always be to seek medical attention for any injuries. After that, it's worth speaking with an attorney who is experienced in motorcycle accident claims specifically. 

    An local motorcycle accident lawyer in Pasadena can:

    • Gather evidence to determine liability
    • Ensure your damages are fully documented
    • Line up expert witnesses to testify about how your injuries will affect you in the future
    • Negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf
    • Prepare to take your case to trial if a fair settlement can't be reached

    Injured motorcyclists sometimes face an uphill legal battle because of the misperception that bikers are careless or unconcerned with safely sharing the road. Our attorneys are committed to making sure riders receive equal protection under the law and aren't unfairly stigmatized for the vehicle they chose to ride.

    From intake to trial, every person on this team plays a part in getting you the outcome you deserve.

    Behind every case file is a full team working on your behalf: case managers, paralegals, and support staff who answer your calls, track down your records, and keep you in the loop every step of the way. We built this firm to feel less like a law office and more like a neighbor you can count on. That starts with hiring people who care, and it shows in how we treat every client who walks through our door.

      They give you one on one attention, and any question you have, they are able to answer.
      “I've been in a couple of car accidents and have been lucky enough to have Chris Soileau as my attorney. They have helped me through these tough times and I am forever thankful. I definitely recommend.”
      - Jessica B.
      I would not hesitate to use Chris Soileau again.
      “My car was hit by a guy who was racing down the highway. The impact forced my vehicle into a retaining wall. At the time I was between jobs and Mr. Soileau helped me find medical care. Ultimately, Chris obtained a great settlement for my case.”
      - S.J.
      Everyone involved with my case was very efficient and helpful in answering my questions.
      “There was no need to constantly call them to check up on my case. They would always update me with any new developments as they got it. I would certainly recommend this firm to anyone and I will definitely use them again.”
      - Monica V.
      Mr. Soileau was able to obtain a substantial settlement and negotiate my medical bills
      “Mr. Soileau represented me in a car accident that occurred in November 2014 where I suffered a herniated disc to my neck requiring surgery. After surgery the medical bills were piling up which caused me quite a bit of stress worrying about how all of the medical bills were going to get paid. As my case was complicated and took almost 2 years to work through, Mr. Soileau and his staff were very understanding of my situation throughout the whole ordeal. They took the time to answer my questions, assist with getting the appropriate medical care and kept me in the loop throughout the process. The outcome was much better than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Soileau and will refer my family and friends if they ever find themselves in need of his services.”
      - J.N.
      I felt it wasn't about the money he was making but the concern for me and my son's loss.
      “I knew few attorneys a couple years back when I needed one to represent me in a case involving an accident with my wife. I was introduced to Mr. Soileau one evening while I was out playing golf. He sat down and took time out his golf game and listened to my predicament I was facing. Afterward, by the way, he handled everything so professionally I hired him and his firm to represent me, hoping we'd settle without it going to court. Needless to say we settled out of court within a year and I was well satisfied with the settlement. Thanks again to Chris Soileau. I'd recommend them to anyone needing a great down to earth attorney, who has a family and wants to know you personally.”
      - Paul R.
      I would recommend Chris Soileau any day.
      “I got rear-ended by a big SUV that did not have insurance and to my surprise, Leticia, the case manager, figured out I had personal injury insurance. She took care of me from start to finish. The doctors and chiropractors they recommended took away the injuries caused by the accident. I became a new man with a new strong lower back and I received a nice surprising settlement amount that I wasn’t expecting during the holidays.”
      - Larry R.
      Within a few months of taking my case he forced the insurance company to pay $50,000.
      “After getting several denials for a medical payments claim I made due to an automobile accident, I contacted Chris Soileau. Mr. Soileau reviewed my file and determined the insurance company acted in bad faith. I highly recommend using this firm if you are having trouble with your insurance company.”
      - M.M.
      Thank you thank you thank you! You changed my life.
      “Chris and his wife have handled several accidents for me throughout the years. The staff is always so nice to me. My last case they got me a $38,000 settlement. Picked up my check today.”
      - Past Client
      Professional and very thorough law firm.
      “The staff is courteous and understanding. Highly recommend them.”
      - Past Client
