Liberty Hill, TX Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
What Our Clients Say
The most common words after a motorcycle crash are ‘I never saw him’ — and in Texas that is not an excuse. SMB Law, PC holds Liberty Hill drivers accountable when they turn or pull out into a rider. A Liberty Hill motorcycle accident lawyer knows that not seeing a rider is an admission of fault, not a defense. Shane has been licensed since 2003 and personally holds inattentive Central Texas drivers accountable for the riders they hit.
Liberty Hill’s growing network of two-lane highways and rural intersections along SH-29 and RR-1869 is exactly where drivers misjudge an oncoming motorcycle’s speed and turn across its path.
Where a Liberty Hill motorcycle accident claim is handled
Liberty Hill is in Williamson County, so a lawsuit is filed with the Williamson County District Clerk at the Justice Center in Georgetown. Many claims settle with the insurer before a suit is ever filed.
The left-turn crash and failure to yield
One of the deadliest motorcycle collisions is the left-turn crash: a driver turning left at an intersection or driveway cuts across the path of an oncoming rider, often claiming they ‘never saw’ the motorcycle. Under Texas law, a driver turning left must yield to oncoming traffic, and a motorcycle has the same right to the lane as any car. ‘I didn’t see the motorcycle’ is not a defense — it is often an admission that the driver failed to keep a proper lookout and yield. These cases turn on establishing the geometry and timing: where each vehicle was, who had the right of way, and that the rider was visible and lawfully proceeding. We reconstruct the intersection to show the driver’s failure to yield caused the Liberty Hill crash.
Reconstructing the intersection
Winning a left-turn motorcycle case in Liberty Hill comes down to reconstructing exactly what happened at the intersection. We work from the objective evidence: the resting positions and damage of both vehicles, skid and gouge marks, signal timing, sight lines, and independent witnesses who saw the rider approaching lawfully. That record answers the questions that decide fault — was the rider visible, who entered the intersection first, and did the driver have time to yield. Where a defendant leans on ‘he came out of nowhere,’ the physical evidence usually tells a different story. Building that reconstruction early, before the scene evidence and memories fade, is what converts a driver’s failure-to-yield into provable liability and keeps blame from being shifted onto the rider.
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.
