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.

Texas Motorcycle Helmet Law

Motorcyclists are at risk of sustaining serious injuries in a motorcycle wreck, especially if they choose not to wear a helmet. Wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle can prevent head injuries that can cause death. Since 1997, however, Texas has made helmets optional for some motorcyclists.

Helmet Law

In Texas, the law prohibits anyone from operating a motorcycle or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle without wearing a helmet that meets the safety standards prescribed by law. An exception to this law applies if the rider meets the following requirements:

The rider is at least twenty-one years old; and
The rider has completed a motorcycle training and safety course or the rider is covered by a health insurance plan that provides the rider with medical benefits that cover injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

The law prohibits a police officer from stopping a motorcycle rider for the sole purpose of determining whether the rider is exempt under Texas motorcycle helmet law.

Recovering Compensation for Your Houston Motorcycle Wreck

A helmet can protect a rider from sustaining serious head injuries. Even if you were not wearing a helmet, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries if another person caused the motorcycle wreck. Motorcycle riders can incur serious injuries—regardless of whether the rider was wearing a helmet—like abrasions, amputations, spinal cord damage, or trauma to the head. Treating these types of injuries is expensive, and the patient may require lifetime treatment.

A motorcycle accident attorney specializes in helping the victims of motorcycle wrecks receive compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you have been involved in a Houston motorcycle wreck, contact a Houston motorcycle accident attorney at Denena & Points. Call 713-807-9500 or 877-307-9500 to schedule a consultation.
