El Paso riders are hit on Montana Avenue, Mesa Street, and the I-10 frontage roads, and on the curves of Transmountain Road where drivers cross the center line.

Common questions
El Paso motorcycle accident questions
Where do El Paso motorcycle accidents happen most?
Montana Avenue, Mesa Street, Dyer Street, the I-10 frontage roads, and Transmountain Road.
What if I am stationed at Fort Bliss and was hit while riding?
The claim against the at-fault driver proceeds normally, and the firm handles the reimbursement rights of military medical care as part of the settlement.
What if I crashed avoiding a car that never touched me in El Paso?
If the driver is identified, you can claim against them even without contact, because the question is whether their driving caused the crash. If the driver drove off unidentified, Texas uninsured motorist coverage generally requires actual physical contact, which makes no-contact crashes harder. Witness names and any camera video from Montana or Dyer Street are critical.
Can I recover lost income if I ride for a delivery app in El Paso?
Yes. Lost income includes gig work, and it is proven with app earnings statements, 1099 forms, and bank deposits from before the crash. If your injuries limit how much you can ride in the future, that loss of earning capacity is part of the claim too. Keep a copy of your earnings history before the account changes.
