EXPERIENCED AZLE, TEXAS MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEY – Fighting for Your Rights
When a motorcycle accident happens in Azle, Texas, riders face serious challenges. Motorcycle accidents often cause severe injuries, expensive medical bills, and lost wages. At Brian Hargrove Law, our experienced Azle motorcycle accident lawyers understand what motorcycle riders go through after a crash.
Personal injury attorney Brian Hargrove has over 25 years’ experience helping motorcycle accident victims in Azle and throughout Tarrant County recover FULL COMPENSATION.
THE HIDDEN INJURIES THAT COULD COST YOU HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS (BUT MOST DOCTORS MISS IN THE FIRST 48 HOURS)
The most expensive motorcycle accident injuries often don't show up on your first hospital visit. I've spent years studying medical records from personal injury cases, including motorcycle accidents, and I've learned to spot the warning signs that emergency room doctors often miss:
- Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)
- Herniated Discs That Don't Hurt Yet
WHY INSURANCE COMPANIES ACTUALLY RETURN MY CALLS (AND WHY THAT MATTERS FOR YOUR SETTLEMENT)
Here's something other lawyers won't tell you: Insurance companies keep internal "lawyer rankings" — lists of personal injury attorneys who will settle cheap versus those who will take cases to trial and win. I know this because insurance adjusters have told me directly: "When we see your name on a case, we know we need to make a real offer."
WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE BRIAN HARGROVE LAW FOR YOUR AZLE MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CASE
Local Experience in Azle and Tarrant County
When you hire Brian Hargrove you’re hiring a native Fort Worth personal injury lawyer, not some out of town TV advertising ambulance chaser. Attorney Brian Hargrove knows Azle roads, doctors, and hospitals. This local knowledge helps build stronger cases for motorcycle accident victims.
I Actually Go to Trial
Most personal injury lawyers settle 98% of their cases. I prepare every case like it's going to trial because insurance companies know I'm not bluffing. I prepare my motorcycle accident cases for trial not a quick settlement. WHO Do You think gets a better offer?
I Limit My Caseload
While other personal injury firms sign up hundreds of cases a month, I never accept more than 10 cases a month. This means I personally review every medical record, every police report, and every piece of evidence. Insurance companies know they can't slip anything past me.
I Know Their Playbook After 25 Years
After years of fighting the same insurance companies for decades, I know their strategies:
- State Farm's "delay and deny" method
- Allstate's "quick settlement" offers in the first 72 hours (usually 10-15% of fair value)
- GEICO's medical record fishing expeditions to find pre-existing conditions
No Upfront Fees
You don't pay attorney fees
UNTIL we win your case. This means you can get experienced legal help without worrying about upfront costs.

HOW CAN AZLE MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER BRIAN HARGROVE HELP?
Experienced motorcycle accident lawyer Brian Hargrove knows that every motorcycle accident case is different. Unlike big law firms that handle hundreds of cases quickly, we only accept a limited number of cases so we can spend the necessary time with each client. We prepare every case for trial, not just settlement.
Our services include:
- Complete Accident Investigation: We investigate your Azle motorcycle accident thoroughly. This means visiting the crash scene, talking to witnesses, and working with accident experts who can explain what really happened.
- Advance Medical Record Analysis: Our team reviews all your medical records to understand your injuries completely. I work with neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and pain specialists to document how the accident affects your life now and for decades to come.
- Insurance Company Negotiation: Insurance companies try to pay motorcycle accident victims pennies on the dollar. I know their tactics, their internal policies, and their pressure points. I fight for FULL COMPENSATION, not quick settlement checks.
- Trial Preparation: While many law firms prepare cases for quick settlements; we prepare every case for trial. This approach leads to higher settlements and overall better results for our clients

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT AZLE MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CASES
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in Texas?
Texas law gives you two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. However, starting your case early helps preserve evidence and witness memories.
What if the other driver says the motorcycle accident was my fault?
Texas uses comparative fault rules. Even if you were partially at fault, you might still recover compensation. Our Azle motorcycle accident lawyer investigates to determine true fault.
How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?
Every case is different. The value depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and how the accident affects your life. We evaluate each case individually.
Do I really need a lawyer for my Azle motorcycle accident?
Insurance companies have experienced lawyers working to minimize payments. Having your own experienced attorney levels the playing field and will lead to better results.
Can I still get compensation if I wasn't wearing a helmet in Azle?
Yes, you can still recover full compensation. Texas law only requires helmets for riders under 21. If you're over 21 and have proper insurance or safety certification, not wearing a helmet doesn't automatically reduce your claim. However, insurance companies will try to use this against you. I know exactly how to counter these arguments and keep the focus on the other driver's negligence.
Will my motorcycle accident case go to trial?
Most cases settle out of court, but I prepare every case assuming we're going to trial. Insurance companies know I'm not bluffing - I've taken cases to trial and won verdicts much higher than insurance companies' final settlement offers. This trial reputation is why insurance adjusters make serious offers on my cases from day one rather than playing games.
How much does it cost to hire Brian Hargrove Law?
Nothing upfront, and nothing UNTIL We win. I work on a contingency fee basis - my fee comes from the settlement or verdict, so you never pay out-of-pocket for legal representation. I also advance all case expenses (expert witnesses, medical record fees, court costs) and only get reimbursed if we successfully resolve your case.
CURRENT MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT STATISTICS IN TEXAS AND AZLE
2024 Texas Motorcycle Crash Statistics (Official TxDOT Data)
The latest data from the Texas Department of Transportation shows that motorcycle accidents continue to be a serious safety concern across Texas, including in Azle and Tarrant County.
Statewide Texas Statistics for 2024:
- 585 motorcyclists (operators and passengers) were killed in Texas during 2024
- 37% of motorcyclists killed were not wearing helmets at the time of the crash
- On average, one motorcyclist dies every day on Texas roads
- 2,534 riders were seriously injured in motorcycle crashes in 2024
- 40% of motorcycle fatalities happen at roadway intersections
- More than half of fatal motorcycle crashes result from collisions with other vehicles
Tarrant County and Azle Area Trends:
Tarrant County, which includes Azle, consistently ranks among Texas counties with high numbers of motorcycle crashes. Local data shows that motorcycle accidents in the Azle area often occur:
- On Highway 199 and FM 730 — the major roadways through Azle
- During warmer months (March through October) when more riders are active
- On weekends, particularly Friday through Sunday, from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- At busy intersections where drivers fail to see motorcycles
- During heavy traffic periods when visibility is reduced
WHY MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS ARE SO DEADLY:
According to TxDOT's research, drivers often don't see motorcycles or misjudge their distance and speed. The small size of motorcycles makes them appear farther away when they're actually much closer. This visibility problem, combined with distracted driving, leads to many preventable motorcycle fatalities each year.
