No-Nonsense Help After An Accident
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Serving Burnet County, Texas
Fighting for Injured Riders in Burnet, Marble Falls, Bertram, and the Hill Country
Motorcyclists have every right to share the road — but too often, careless drivers treat them as an afterthought. When a car or truck driver makes a reckless decision, the person on the motorcycle usually suffers the worst of it. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Burnet County, you need an experienced attorney who knows how to fight for the compensation you deserve.
At the Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, we represent motorcycle riders and their families after serious crashes throughout Burnet, Marble Falls, Bertram, and surrounding communities. We understand the unique dynamics of motorcycle collisions and the devastating toll they can take. Our goal is simple: protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Severe
Even when wearing a helmet and protective gear, motorcyclists are vulnerable. Unlike passengers in enclosed vehicles, riders don’t have airbags or steel frames to cushion the blow. The result is often catastrophic injury or death, even at moderate speeds.
Common causes of motorcycle crashes in Burnet County include:
Drivers failing to yield when turning left
Cars changing lanes without checking blind spots
Speeding or reckless driving
Distracted driving, including texting
Drivers following too closely
Intoxicated or impaired drivers (DWI-related)
Dangerous rural roads or poor visibility
Road hazards like gravel, potholes, or wildlife
In many cases, the driver who caused the crash claims they “didn’t see” the motorcycle. That’s not a valid excuse — it’s negligence.
Where Motorcycle Accidents Happen in Burnet County
From scenic Hill Country highways to congested intersections in town, motorcycle crashes happen all over Burnet County. Some of the most common routes where accidents occur include:
US Highway 281 – A heavily traveled road connecting Burnet to Marble Falls and Lampasas
State Highway 29 – Runs directly through Burnet and east toward Georgetown
Rural roads like FM 963, FM 2341, and FM 3509 – Beautiful but potentially hazardous
Park areas near Inks Lake, Buchanan Dam, and Longhorn Cavern – Popular with riders but lacking in shoulder space or visibility
No matter where the accident happened, we’ll investigate, collect the evidence, and hold the responsible party accountable.
Injuries in Motorcycle Crashes
Motorcycle accidents almost always involve serious injuries. We work with clients who are suffering from:
Road rash and serious lacerations
Broken bones and fractures
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Amputations
Internal injuries
Permanent disfigurement or disability
PTSD or psychological trauma
These are not just physical injuries — they impact every aspect of a person’s life, from income and independence to relationships and mental health. We help clients recover damages that truly reflect the full scope of their suffering.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If your motorcycle accident was caused by another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical bills (past and future)
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Physical impairment or disfigurement
Mental anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life
Motorcycle repair or replacement
Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was killed)
We also explore uninsured or underinsured motorist claims (UM/UIM) when applicable — a critical issue in motorcycle cases where the other driver often doesn’t carry enough insurance.
