Sugar Land motorcycle accident questions

SH-6, the US-59 frontage roads, US-90A, and University Boulevard.
Where is a Sugar Land motorcycle accident case filed?
In the Fort Bend County District Courts at the Justice Center in Richmond.
What if a driver turning left into a Sugar Land shopping center hit me?
Texas law requires a driver turning left to yield to oncoming traffic, including motorcycles. Left-turn crashes at retail entrances along SH-6 and near Town Center are among the most common motorcycle crashes. The usual defense is that the rider was speeding, which is tested with the motorcycle’s damage, skid marks, and any store or traffic camera video.
Does not wearing a helmet reduce my recovery in Fort Bend County?
Riding lawfully without a helmet is not negligence by itself. Insurers may still argue it made a head injury worse, but that argument has nothing to do with a broken leg, a shoulder injury, or road rash. It also does not change who caused the crash. The driver who turned or merged into you is still responsible.
