Motorcycle Accident cases in McAllen
Riders in McAllen share 10th Street, Nolana Avenue, and Pecan Boulevard and Interstate 2 / US 83 and US 281 / Interstate 69C with drivers who too often fail to see them. With cross-border commerce and fast-growing Valley traffic, motorcycle crashes in Hidalgo County frequently involve left-turning vehicles, lane changes into a rider's path, and road hazards — and the injuries are usually far more serious than in a car crash.
Riders are sometimes unfairly blamed for crashes a driver caused. If a driver violated your right of way, you may be able to recover for medical bills, lost income, and more. A participating Texas law firm may review your McAllen motorcycle crash.

Why quick action matters in Texas
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30–90 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?

This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
Is lane splitting legal in Texas?
No — Texas law explicitly prohibits riding between lanes of traffic (a 2023 law removed any ambiguity). That said, being a rider doesn't make a crash your fault, and a participating law firm can review what actually happened.
