Motorcycles offer unparalleled freedom when on the road. Unfortunately, other drivers are not always keen to share the road. All too often, motorcyclists are pushed off the side of the road, squeezed into lanes, or otherwise treated as second-class motorists. Importantly, this lower status is not present in the law.
What Should Motorcyclists Do After a Crash?
The first thing that all injured bikers should know is there is a strict time limit to file a claim after an accident. Under Texas Civ. Prac. And Remedies Code 16.003, any claim involving a personal injury must be started in court no more than two years from the date of the accident. Known as the statute of limitations, any violation of this law will be grounds for the case to be dismissed. In certain situations, the statute of limitations may be less than two years. Defendants’ insurance companies know this rule and will often utilize delay tactics to run out the clock on a claim. Proactive Frisco motorcycle wreck lawyers work to pursue claims in a thorough but also timely manner to ensure that this is not an issue.
