| The damage to your motorcycle tells the story of your crash better than any witness. Don’t let that story disappear. |
WHAT YOUR BIKE CAN PROVE
| Evidence on Your Bike | What It Establishes in Your Case |
| Impact point and damage pattern | The angle and direction of the collision directly contradict false accounts of how the crash happened |
| Frame deformation and crush zone | The force of impact supports the severity of your injuries |
| Tire marks and skid patterns | Your speed, your braking, your lane position — the physics of what actually happened |
| Handlebar and peg positions | Body position at impact — corroborates your account of the crash sequence |
| Final rest position | Post-impact trajectory — establishes fault in disputed collisions |
WHAT YOUR GEAR CAN PROVE
- Helmet — impact location and angle; which part of your head struck what, and how hard
- Jacket — abrasion pattern shows how your body contacted the road and in what direction you slid
- Gloves — whether you braced for impact and the contact sequence
- Boots — foot contact sequence and landing pattern
Together, bike and gear let an accident reconstructionist build a frame-by-frame account of your crash — from physics, not just memory.
THE RULES — STARTING RIGHT NOW
- Do NOT repair the bike. Not even minor cosmetic damage. It’s evidence.
- Do NOT sell or scrap the bike. Not until your attorney says it’s clear.
- Do NOT let the insurance company take possession of the bike without attorney involvement.
- Do NOT clean, repair, or discard your helmet, jacket, gloves, or boots.
- DO photograph all damage within 24 hours — every impact mark, every abrasion, every bent or broken part.
- DO store everything in a safe, dry location immediately.
- DO tell your trusted Texas motorcycle accident attorney you have the bike and gear before you tell anyone else.
ABOUT THE TOW YARD
If your bike is at a tow yard, storage fees accumulate daily — $20 to $50 or more per day. Get it moved to a secure location you control as quickly as possible. But do not authorize any repairs before your attorney or insurance adjuster has inspected it.
| Road Justice Tip: One phone call to an attorney on day one protects the evidence. One missed call and the bike gets repaired, the gear gets thrown out, and the story the crash was trying to tell disappears forever. |
