Our dedicated Marshall motorcycle injury attorneys at the Carlile Law Firm, LLP recognize the importance of respecting all types of motorists on our Texas roadways—including those on two wheels. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way.
Many motorists discount motorcyclists when sharing the roadways due to several factors. Motorcycles are smaller and less visible than cars and trucks, making them easier to overlook, especially in a driver’s blind spots. This size difference also leads to misjudgments regarding the motorcycle’s speed and distance.
Stereotypes and biases against motorcyclists can also play a role, with some drivers perceiving them as risk-takers or rule-breakers, leading to less caution and consideration. The combination of these factors contributes to the frequent underestimation and disregard of motorcyclists’ presence, increasing the risk of crashes and injuries on the road.
Texas motorcycle crashes often lead to severe injuries and fatalities due to the rider’s inherent vulnerabilities. Unlike passengers in cars, motorcyclists lack the protective enclosure of a vehicle, leaving them exposed to direct impacts during collisions.
The lack of safety features like seatbelts and airbags means that even minor collisions can result in catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and severe fractures.
Last year alone, the Texas Department of Transportation reported nearly 600 people riding motorcycles were killed in crashes, and more than 2,400 riders were seriously injured. If you were injured or lost a loved one in a motorcycle collision caused by a negligent driver, we want to help you pursue the liable party for your complete recovery needs.
The Carlile Law Firm, LLP handles all kinds of cases, large and small. We don’t focus on the size of a case but solely on helping Harrison County residents recover physically, emotionally, and financially after another person or party’s negligence has changed their lives.

Preventable motorcycle collisions, injuries, and fatalities are particularly devastating because they often result from avoidable errors or negligence, leading to profound physical, emotional, and financial consequences for the victims and their families.
The sudden and violent nature of these crashes frequently causes severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and multiple fractures, which can lead to long-term disabilities or death. The knowledge that these tragedies could have been prevented through safer driving practices, better awareness, and adherence to traffic laws intensifies the pain and suffering.
Some of the most common causes of motorcycle wrecks, injuries, and fatalities in Texas include, but are not limited to:
If you or someone you love has suffered a motorcycle injury or lost their life under negligent circumstances, the first challenge you will face is pursuing compensation from the insurance company. Unfortunately, as multi-billion-dollar businesses, the insurance industry cannot sustain its record-breaking bottom lines by paying injury victims what their cases are worth.
This is why we are here. Our Marshall motorcycle collision and injury lawyers prioritize integrity and uphold the principles of honesty, fairness, and ethical conduct, which are essential for achieving just outcomes for our clients and maintaining the integrity of our family-owned law firm.

According to Texas Law, riders over the age of 21 do not have to wear a helmet if they can prove that one of the following is true:
This means wearing a helmet is a personal decision and should not impact your ability to file a personal injury claim against the negligent driver who caused your crash and injuries.
If you wear a helmet, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends picking one with the minimum safety requirements outlined in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218 (49 CFR 571.218).
If you believe you have a claim, we can help you understand your legal rights and options to pursue the negligent party for your complete financial recovery needs. When you work with us, you’ll get sound advice from a trustworthy legal team who will fight for the outcome you deserve so you can return to your daily activities and the quality of life you enjoyed before the incident changed everything.
