At A2X Law, we recognize that a motorcycle collision in a remote area like Presidio County is more than a legal claim; it is a fight to secure your future. When a rider is injured on the road, they face a dual challenge. First, they must contend with a system that often harbors a documented bias against motorcyclists. Second, they must confront insurance carriers that prioritize corporate profits over a victim’s medical and financial recovery.

We are not a settlement mill. We are trial attorneys who operate on the principle of Anyone. Anytime. Anywhere. We understand that accidents in the high desert carry unique complications, from delayed emergency response times to the difficulty of preserving evidence on isolated stretches of highway.

If a negligent driver in the Marfa area has run you off the road or struck you, we have the resources and the resolve to meet you where you are. We do not negotiate from a distance; we investigate the scene, challenge biased police reports, and hold reckless drivers accountable. Our commitment is to provide the aggressive advocacy required to secure the justice and the recovery you deserve.

The Unique Dangers of Riding in the Trans-Pecos 

A greater degree of caution is needed when riding a motorcycle in West Texas than in a big city like Dallas or Houston. The environment itself poses a variety of risks specific to this area. 

Heavy Commercial Traffic and Oilfield Logistics 

Marfa is situated at a crossroads of intense industrial activity, despite its reputation for art and culture. The main routes for truck deliveries of sand, water, and equipment to the Delaware Basin oilfields are US Highways 67 and 90. Particularly in the intense brightness of a West Texas sunset, these big commercial vehicles may find it difficult to detect a motorcycle due to their wide blind areas. For a cyclist, a collision with an eighty-thousand-pound rig is nearly always disastrous. 

High Desert Crosswinds and Weather Extremes 

In Presidio County, the weather can quickly shift. A rider may be forced off the shoulder of the road or into oncoming traffic by abrupt, strong crosswinds. Dust storms and intense heat waves are becoming more common in 2026, which may affect tire traction and road surfaces. Road contractors and property owners may be held accountable for any accidents they cause if they neglect to take these factors into consideration or leave debris on the road. 

Wildlife and Open Range Risks 

It's cattle country in Presidio County. Since a large portion of the area around Marfa is open range, animals may unexpectedly stray into the road. Furthermore, there is always a risk from deer, javelina, and other wildlife, especially at dawn and dusk. Complex legal issues of liability arise when a rancher neglects to maintain fences in a non-open-range area or when a driver swerves to avoid an animal and strikes a biker. 

Why A2X Law is Not Your Average Personal Injury Firm 

If you search for an accident lawyer, you will find hundreds of firms promising quick settlements. At A2X Law, we do things differently. We are selective about the cases we take because we believe every client deserves our full, unyielding attention. 

We Prepare for Trial from Day One 

Most insurance companies know which law firms are afraid of the courtroom. They use that fear to pressure victims into accepting low settlements that barely cover their medical bills. When A2X Law takes your case, the insurance company knows they are facing a team that is already preparing for a jury. This trial-ready approach is often the only way to secure a fair settlement, as the opposition realizes we will not back down. 

The Anyone. Anytime. Anywhere. Promise 

We know that if you are in a hospital in El Paso or recovering at home in Marfa, you might not be able to travel to a big city law office. That is why we come to you. Our legal team is mobile and ready to investigate scenes in the most remote parts of West Texas. We use advanced technology, including drone photography and 3D accident reconstruction, to preserve evidence before the desert wind or road crews can erase it. 

Understanding Texas Motorcycle Laws in 2026 

Understanding current Texas statutes is imperative when dealing with the legal ramifications of a motorcycle crash. The laws governing the operation of motor vehicles and insurance can be extremely convoluted and are often developed with insurance companies' assistance. 

The Texas Helmet Law and Its Impact 

Contrary to popular belief, riders over 21 do not have to wear a helmet if they have completed a safety course or are covered under an adequate health insurance policy. Regardless of whether you were legally out riding without a helmet, insurance carriers may attempt to claim that your injuries were your own fault due to your decision not to wear a helmet. This is known as the "helmet defense," and we specialize in refuting it. We emphasize that the negligence of the other driver caused the accident, and their liability should not be negated because of your legally permitted choice of equipment or gear. 

Modified Comparative Negligence (The 51 Percent Rule) 

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that as long as you are fifty percent or less at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages. However, your total award will be reduced by the percentage of fault you bear. For example, if a jury finds you ten percent responsible because of your speed, and your damages are one hundred thousand dollars, you would receive ninety thousand dollars. If you are found to be fifty-one percent at fault, you recover nothing. This is why the investigation phase of your case is so critical. We work tirelessly to ensure the blame stays where it belongs: on the negligent driver. 

The True Cost of a Motorcycle Accident in Marfa 

In Marfa, motorcycle accidents can be expensive due to the distance from major cities. Riders who sustain serious injuries don't have access to a Level 1 trauma center in Presidio County, so they may be transported to a hospital via helicopter transport to El Paso or Odessa. 

The Burden of Medical Transport and Remote Care 

When accident victims are transported by helicopter, they typically incur costs between $50,000 and $250,000. A2X Law recognizes the burden of these costs on motorcycle accident victims and works to make sure they are included in each rider's compensation package. A2X Law also considers the additional costs and logistical challenges riders face when traveling long distances for follow-up care, physical therapy, and specialist appointments necessary for their recovery. 

Catastrophic Injuries and Long-Term Impact 

Motorcyclists lack the "crumple zones" and airbags of passenger cars. This leads to a high frequency of catastrophic injuries, including: 

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) can alter your personality and cognitive function. 
• Spinal cord injuries leading to partial or full paralysis. 
• Complex fractures that require multiple surgeries and permanent hardware. 
• Severe road rash and degloving injuries that lead to permanent scarring and infection risks. 

We work with life care planners and economic experts to calculate not just your current bills, but the cost of the care you will need for the next thirty or forty years. 

Overcoming Bias Against Motorcyclists 

The prejudice that many people have against motorcyclists is one of the largest obstacles in a motorbike case. Insurance adjusters and juries frequently believe the motorcyclist must have been speeding or riding carelessly. 
 
We actively fight this stigma at A2X Law. We narrate your tale. We demonstrate that you are a responsible rider, a family member, and a member of the community who was harmed by another's negligence. To demonstrate that you were abiding by the law, we use digital data from the vehicles involved, GoPro film, and witness accounts. We prevent the opposition from using your love of riding as a tool to violate your legal rights. 

Steps to Take After a Crash in Presidio County 

The moments following a motorcycle accident are chaotic, but if you are physically able, the actions you take can save your life. 

1. Call 911 immediately: In a remote area, response times can be long. Get the Marfa EMS or Presidio County Sheriff on the way as soon as possible. 
2. Document the Scene: Take photos of everything. Capture the position of the vehicles, the skid marks on the pavement, the road signs, and any debris. If there are environmental factors, such as a blocked view or a pothole, photograph them too. 
3. Identify Witnesses: Tourists often stop to help. Get their names and phone numbers before they continue on their journey. Their unbiased accounts can be the "silver bullet" in your case. 
4. Do Not Admit Fault: Even a simple "I'm sorry" can be twisted by an insurance company into a confession of guilt. Stick to the facts when speaking with law enforcement. 
5. Seek Specialized Medical Care: Even if you feel okay, the adrenaline of a crash can mask serious internal injuries or concussions. Get a full evaluation. 
6. Contact A2X Law: Do not call your insurance company until you have spoken with a trial lawyer. They will try to record a statement that they can use against you later. Let us handle the communication.
