Motorcyclist Killed in Crash With 18-Wheeler on East Freeway in Houston

Texas Transportation Code Section 545.103 provides that an operator may not turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left on a roadway unless the movement can be made safely. When a large truck makes a wide or right turn across traffic, whether the driver checked for other vehicles can be a central question. Investigators typically look at the truck’s position, signaling and the motorcycle’s approach.

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33 sets out proportionate responsibility, under which a claimant who is found more than 50 percent responsible is barred from recovery and any recovery is otherwise reduced by the claimant’s share. Because fault can be disputed in motorcycle and truck collisions, preserving evidence early matters. Families with questions can speak with Beverly Law, and there is no fee unless we win.
