Location of My MotorcycleIn many scenarios, after an accident your motorcycle will be towed to a tow holding yard. Generally speaking, the tow yard will attempt to hold your motorcycle “captive”for as long as possible. Bear in mind, the longer the towyard has possession of your bike; the more they will accumulate for storing it. Under Texas law, only you, as the Registered Owner, can "release" your motorcycle and have it moved to a "fee-free" location. Also keep in mind; if your motorcycle is totaled or considered a “total loss” it might require additional towing and/or fees to transport your bike to another location. Due to the daily rates and fees of most tow yards, we commonly recommend that you "release" your motorcycle from the tow yard and have it moved to a free lot as soon as possible. When changing the storage location of your motorcycle, there mayinitially betowing and storage costs you have to pay yourself.

Total Loss and What This MeansAfter an accident, the words "total loss" can be a very trying thing to hear. By definition, "total loss" “is said to exist if property is destroyed to the extent as to be no longer useful for the purpose for which it was intended, or that renders it useless and of no value to its owner.” In insurance terms, this means that the cost of repairs totals more than 70 percent of the fair market value the motorcycle withheld prior to the accident.
As you may own or know, many motorcyclists have custom-built bikes that are special and unique.Such custom workmanship may including custom chrome, pipes, painting and/or otherpersonalized modifications. Determining the exact value of these individuallycrafted motorcycles can be very difficult at times. In order to evaluate the cost of repairs or to determine the replacement value of the motorcycle, independent appraisals may be required. Rest assured knowing that the Carabin Shaw Law Firm will fight to get you "top dollar" for your bike and fair compensation for all of your damages.
