- Photograph the vehicles, the road, and your injuries where it happened, especially on I-10 (Katy Freeway) and Grand Parkway (SH-99), where scenes are cleared within minutes.

Common questions
Katy motorcycle accident questions
Where do Katy motorcycle accidents happen most?
The I-10 frontage roads, FM 1093, Mason Road, Fry Road, and the Grand Parkway frontage roads.
Where is a Katy motorcycle accident case filed?
In the county where the crash occurred: Harris, Fort Bend, or Waller. The firm files in the right court.
What if a driver merging from a Katy Freeway frontage road hit me?
A driver entering the main lanes or crossing from a frontage road must yield to traffic already in the lane. Riders are often hit by drivers who checked for cars and missed the motorcycle. Dash cameras, the angle of damage on both vehicles, and the merge layout at the specific exit usually show who had the right of way.
Does my health insurance have to be repaid from a Katy motorcycle settlement?
Often, yes. Most health plans have a right to be repaid from an injury settlement for what they paid for crash care. Employer plans governed by federal law can have strong repayment rights. Those amounts are frequently negotiable, and reducing them is part of resolving the case, because every dollar saved stays with you.
