Testimonials

Tony, I can't tell you what a blessing you and your team have been during the most tragic time in our lives. By taking over the responsibility of dealing with the hospital bills and insurance companies you've allowed me to focus on my duties as a father and husband.
My family and I just want to thank you for everything you have done and dedication in this car seat case.
I will always keep your professionalism in my heart! Thank you again Chad and Vanessa!
I went to a local lawyer to help my father and I after we were injured in an 18 Wheeler crash. That lawyer brought in another lawyer. Finally, Chad came on board and got our case resolved.

Does the Texas Helmet Law Affect Your Right to Recover Compensation?

Helmets protect motorcycle riders from serious brain damage or death. In Texas, the law does require that riders under age 21 wear a helmet. Some riders, however, are exempt from the law. If a rider is at least twenty-one years old, and has completed a motorcycle safety and training course, or if the rider has a health insurance plan that covers injuries sustained in a motorcycle wreck, the rider can opt not to wear a helmet while riding on a public street or highway.

Wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle will protect your head from injury. Motorcycle riders, however, are prone to other injuries besides brain trauma. Common injuries sustained in motorcycle wrecks include abrasions, fractures, and spinal cord damage. Regardless of whether you were wearing a helmet, you may be entitled to compensation if another person caused the wreck.

If you have been injured in a Houston motorcycle wreck, we may be able to help. Contact a Houston motorcycle accident attorney at Denena & Points at 713-807-9500 or 877-307-9500. Call today to schedule a consultation.
