Texas Law: Motorcycle Accident in Brownsville

Texas motorcycle accident claims follow the same two-year statute of limitations (§ 16.003) and modified comparative fault rules (Chapter 33) as other motor vehicle cases. The helmet exemption under Tex. Transp. Code § 661.003 means that failure to wear a helmet cannot be used to establish liability — but defense attorneys often argue it contributed to injury severity under comparative fault. Lane splitting is illegal in Texas under Tex. Transp. Code § 545.060, and a rider caught splitting lanes may bear comparative fault. Texas does not cap compensatory damages in motorcycle accident cases. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is particularly important given the severity of motorcycle injuries.
