Williamson County, TX · Free Consultation
Jollyville, TX Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
A Jollyville rider hit by a driver with almost no insurance — or one who speeds off — can be left facing enormous bills and an empty liability policy. SMB Law, PC finds the coverage that actually pays. A Jollyville motorcycle accident lawyer knows how to reach uninsured and underinsured coverage when the at-fault driver has almost none. Shane M. Boasberg has handled Central Texas injury claims for more than twenty years and personally finds the coverage that actually pays.
The busy US-183 and Research Boulevard corridor through Jollyville mixes fast commuter traffic with riders, and when a minimally insured or fleeing driver causes a crash, the rider is the one left exposed.
Where a Jollyville motorcycle accident claim is handled
Most of Jollyville lies in Williamson County, so a lawsuit is filed with the Williamson County District Clerk at the Justice Center in Georgetown; the Travis County side files in Austin. Many claims settle with the insurer first.
Underinsured, uninsured, and hit-and-run coverage
Texas requires only 30/60/25 in liability coverage, and a motorcycle crash routinely causes injuries worth far more than a $30,000-per-person limit — while some drivers carry no insurance at all, and others flee. That is where a rider’s own policy becomes the key. Uninsured/underinsured-motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can step in when the at-fault driver has too little insurance or is never identified, and it applies to you as a motorcyclist just as it would in a car. Personal injury protection (PIP) or MedPay, if you carry it, can pay early medical bills regardless of fault. Many riders do not realize these coverages are on their own auto or motorcycle policy, or how to stack them. We identify every applicable policy — yours, a household member’s, and the at-fault driver’s — so a low-limits or hit-and-run crash in Jollyville does not leave you paying for someone else’s negligence.
Stacking every policy that can respond
Full recovery after a serious Jollyville motorcycle crash often means finding coverage beyond the at-fault driver’s single policy. A rider may be able to draw on UM/UIM coverage under their own policy, under a resident relative’s policy, and sometimes on more than one vehicle — and PIP or MedPay can run alongside all of it. Coordinating those layers is technical, deadline-driven work, and insurers rarely volunteer coverage a rider did not ask about. We map out every policy that could apply, handle the notice requirements each one carries, and pursue them in the right order, so a crash caused by an underinsured or missing driver still produces a recovery that reflects the injury.
Decades of Texas injury experience on your side
Motorcycle claims come with a built-in headwind, and answering it takes experience. You work directly with attorney Shane M. Boasberg, who has represented injured Texans for more than two decades and has been licensed by the State of Texas since 2003. He knows how Central Texas insurers and juries view riders, how to document a serious motorcycle injury, and how to push back on the assumptions that get used to discount these cases. You get a lawyer who has done this many times — not a case manager reading from a script.

Frequently asked questions
What if the driver who hit my motorcycle had little or no insurance?
Your own UM/UIM coverage can often make up the difference, and PIP or MedPay can pay early medical bills regardless of fault.
Am I covered in a Jollyville motorcycle hit-and-run?
Often yes. Uninsured-motorist coverage can apply when the at-fault driver is never identified, if the claim is reported and handled correctly.
Does UM/UIM coverage apply to motorcycles?
Yes. If you carry it on your auto or motorcycle policy, it protects you as a rider when the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.
Do I have to travel to your office from Jollyville?
No. Our office is in downtown Austin, about 14 miles southeast via US-183 and Mopac, and we handle Jollyville claims by phone and video.
