What if a driver changing lanes on Broadway clipped my motorcycle?
Texas law requires a driver to stay in a single lane and change lanes only when it can be done safely. A driver who merges into a rider on Broadway without checking is generally at fault. Signal use, mirror checks, and the point of impact on both vehicles are the evidence that decides it.
Will a Brazoria County jury hold it against me that I ride a motorcycle?
Some jurors start with assumptions about riders, which is why jury selection matters in motorcycle cases. The case is built on what the driver did, with evidence like crash diagrams, video, and witness accounts. Riding a motorcycle is lawful, and Texas law judges the driver who turned or merged into you by the same standard as any other crash.
