What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Section 545.351 requires drivers, including motorcyclists, to operate at a speed that is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances and to control their speed to avoid colliding with others. When a crash involves several motorcycles, investigators look at speed, spacing and road conditions to determine whether this duty was breached.

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71 allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim when a person dies because of another’s wrongful act or negligence. Families and injured riders can learn their options with a free consultation, and there is no fees or costs unless we win.
