Standing Up for Injured Motorcyclists
Motorcyclists face unique risks every time they get on the road. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, airbags, or seatbelts, even a low-speed crash can cause devastating injuries.
Worse, insurance adjusters often try to unfairly shift the blame onto riders—painting them as reckless or at fault when they were not.
At The Law Offices of Matthew M. Vincent, we know the truth: most motorcycle accidents are caused by careless drivers who fail to even notice or respect motorcycles on the road.
Matthew M. Vincent stands up for riders and their families, working tirelessly to prove fault, challenge biased assumptions, and pursue the compensation you deserve—and need to heal and move on.
And when you hire Matthew, you get Matthew. He limits his caseload so he can personally oversee each motorcycle accident case from start to finish.

What To Do After a Motorcycle Accident
If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle crash, the steps you take right away often determine how strong your claim will be:
-
Get medical attention immediately. Even if you don’t think you’re badly hurt, motorcycle injuries can worsen quickly without care.
-
Call law enforcement. The police report provides important details such as road conditions, driver statements, and citations issued—all of which can strengthen your claim.
-
Gather evidence if possible. Photos of the scene, bike and helmet damage, and witness information can help prove your case.
-
Do not give statements to insurance adjusters. Their goal is to reduce payouts, and recordings can be used against you later.
-
Contact an experienced personal injury attorney. Matthew M. Vincent knows how to build strong cases for riders.

How Matthew M. Vincent Protects Motorcycle Riders
Motorcycle cases often require pushing back against bias—many juries and insurance adjusters assume motorcyclists are risk-takers. Motorcycle accident lawyer Matthew M. Vincent works to overcome these misconceptions by:

Personal involvement: Matthew’s limited caseload means every client gets the direct representation they deserve.
With this balance of expertise and proven results--injured motorcyclists can move forward knowing Matthew M. Vincent is protecting their rights.
Causes of Motorcycle Accidents and the Compensation You May Recover
Most motorcycle crashes happen because other drivers fail to share the road responsibly. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, speeding, drivers failing to yield, and impaired driving.
Poor road design, dangerous intersections, and defective parts can also contribute to serious motorcycle accidents. Identifying the cause is essential, since it not only proves fault but also overcomes the unfair bias that riders are usually to blame.
Once liability is established, injured riders may be entitled to recover compensation for medical bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care; lost income and reduced future earning ability; pain and suffering; and property damage to the bike and riding gear.
Families may pursue wrongful death or spouse and family damages if a loved one is killed or left unable to provide the same support at home.
By uncovering what caused the motorcycle crash and carefully calculating the full financial, physical, and emotional impact, Matthew M. Vincent builds strong cases that protect riders’ rights and pursue the maximum compensation available to you and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorcycle Accidents
Do I need to wear a helmet to recover compensation?
-
In Texas, riders under 21 must wear helmets, and those over 21 must meet insurance/training requirements to ride without one.
-
In California, helmets are required for all riders and passengers. Not wearing a helmet doesn’t necessarily prevent recovery, but it can affect your case.
What if the other driver says I was speeding or reckless?
Insurance adjusters often blame riders unfairly. Matthew M. Vincent knows how to challenge these claims with evidence and expert testimony.
Can I recover damages if the driver fled the scene?
Yes. In hit-and-run cases, uninsured motorist coverage or other options may apply. Matthew can explore every path to recovery.
