Hays County, TX · Free Consultation
San Marcos, TX Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
On a corridor as busy as I-35, a motorcycle crash can turn serious in an instant — and the evidence that proves what happened does not last long. If you were hurt riding in San Marcos, SMB Law, PC moves quickly to protect your claim. A San Marcos motorcycle accident lawyer who moves fast can lock down the camera footage and witness accounts that vanish within days on the I-35 corridor. Shane has been licensed since 2003 and personally preserves that evidence before it is gone.
San Marcos riders travel the heavy I-35 stretch between Austin and San Antonio and the Hill Country roads around Ranch Road 12, where driver inattention causes some of the worst motorcycle wrecks.
Where a San Marcos motorcycle accident claim is handled
San Marcos is the Hays County seat, so a lawsuit is filed with the Hays County District Clerk at the Government Center on South Stagecoach Trail. Most claims settle with the insurer first.
The two-year deadline and fast-fading evidence
Timing and evidence drive a San Marcos motorcycle case. Texas generally gives you two years to file, but on a corridor as busy as I-35 the proof that wins — dash-cam footage, 911 records, witness memory — disappears within days. Texas also uses comparative fault, reducing recovery by the rider’s share and often leaning on rider stereotypes, and requires only 30/60/25 coverage, so underinsured-motorist protection frequently matters in severe San Marcos crashes.

Riding Hays County
I-35 frontage merges, the river-road curves, and student-district traffic that turns left without looking: that’s the San Marcos rider’s risk map. Rider-blame is the insurer’s default story, and early evidence — the driver’s yield failure, your lane position, the sightlines — is what flips it.
If your San Marcos case involves more than one vehicle or victim, we also handle an auto accident case, a cyclist's injury case, and a pedestrian injury case — see how we handle motorcycle accident cases for how we work.
Frequently asked questions
What if the driver who hit me near Texas State was a student with minimal insurance?
Texas’s 30/60/25 minimums exhaust fast in a serious rider injury. We look to your own underinsured-motorist coverage and any additional liable parties — a bigger recovery path than most riders expect.
How long do I have to file after a San Marcos motorcycle crash?
Generally two years, but the evidence that proves fault fades within days on a corridor like I-35. It is best to consult a lawyer soon after the crash.
Why does acting fast matter so much?
Dash-cam footage, 911 records, and witness memories disappear quickly. Early action preserves the proof your claim depends on.
Do I need to come to Austin from San Marcos?
No. Our office is about 30 miles north on I-35, and we handle consultations and updates by phone and video.
