Our Role in Your Recovery
Texas has complex liability and negligence laws that can be difficult to navigate on your own. You should also know that many insurance adjusters want to settle as cheaply as possible, even if their offer does not cover all your expenses.
You should have the peace of mind to focus on healing from your injuries instead of dealing with the insurance company or the other party’s attorney. A motorcycle accident lawyer with Ben Crump, PLLC is here to provide support for you and your loved ones, including:
- A free, no-obligation case review by telephone, at your home, or at the hospital
- Investigating the cause of the accident
- Identifying all liable parties
- Collecting evidence of injuries and damages
- Filing an insurance claim
- Negotiating for an acceptable settlement
If our lawyers cannot reach a settlement with the other party, you have a limited time to escalate your case with legal action.
Time Is Limited for a Lawsuit
Many personal injury lawsuits are the result of failed negotiation for an acceptable settlement. If this happens, you have two years from the date of your injuries to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003.
It takes time to prepare a case for court. That is why it is in your best interest to call the office of a Corpus Christi motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you can to discuss your legal options.

How We Establish Liability
A motorcycle accident lawyer will use the evidence, testimony, and other documentation to determine liability based on four conditions:

- Breach of care: the other party breached this duty of care through carelessness or omission
- Causation of injuries: this negligence caused your injuries
- Damages: your injuries caused you to suffer financial and emotional damages
Sometimes there are several liable parties who had a direct or indirect role in causing your injuries. A lawyer with Ben Crump, PLLC can identify all liable parties to help you pursue justice from all those responsible.
