Houston Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Protecting Riders on Houston Roads
Standing Up for Injured Bikers
Motorcyclists face unique dangers on Texas roads. Too often, crashes happen not because of the rider but because drivers fail to look for motorcycles. At Mario Varela Law, a motorcycle accident lawyer Houston riders trust, we advocate for bikers who are unfairly stereotyped and too often blamed after a wreck.
Our team helps clients suffering from severe injuries—road rash, fractures, and head trauma—and ensures their cases are taken seriously by insurers and courts.
Why Motorcycle Wrecks Happen
Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes
Even safe riders can be seriously injured when other drivers act carelessly.
Left-Turn Collisions
Cars turning left often fail to yield, striking motorcyclists at intersections.
Unsafe Lane Changes
Drivers merging without checking blind spots are a leading cause of motorcycle accidents.
Distracted Driving
Texting or using navigation apps takes drivers’ eyes off the road, endangering riders.
Speeding & Aggressive Driving
High-speed highways like I-10 and Loop 610 increase crash severity for bikers.
Road Hazards
Potholes, debris, and slick surfaces are far more dangerous for motorcycles than cars.
Impaired Driving
Alcohol or drug use by other drivers often has deadly consequences for motorcyclists.
