Riding for Justice: A Conversation with Glen Larson
There’s something riders call “wind therapy”—that feeling of freedom, clarity, and connection you only get on a motorcycle. It’s more than a ride. It’s a way of life.
But when that freedom is interrupted—when a rider is injured through no fault of their own—the road ahead can become uncertain.
For Glen Larson, founder and managing attorney of Glen Larson Law Injury Attorneys, that moment is where his work truly begins.
As the 2024 President of the National Academy of Motorcycle Injury Lawyers, Glen has dedicated his career not only to representing injured riders but to protecting the rights, safety, and dignity of the motorcycle community nationwide.
A Personal Mission Rooted in Advocacy
Nearly a decade ago, a tragic motorcycle crash changed the course of Glen’s career. What stood out wasn’t just the loss—it was how quickly the narrative shifted.
Instead of focusing on the individual, the story became about assumptions.
“That’s when it became personal,” Glen explains. “Making sure every rider’s story is told, heard, and understood.”
Today, that mission lives through Biker Wolfpack Law, a division of Glen Larson Law Injury Attorneys—a community-driven initiative built around one core idea: riders look out for each other, and so do we.
At the firm, everything is grounded in five core values:
- Certainty – giving clients clarity and confidence in uncertain moments
- Honor – doing what’s right, every time
- Passion – advocating with purpose and intensity
- Loyalty – standing by clients like family
- Unity – working together to protect and support the riding community
More Than Legal Work: Showing Up for the Riding Community
For Glen, advocacy doesn’t start in the courtroom—it starts in the community.
Through Biker Wolfpack Law, he and his team are actively involved in rider safety, education, and outreach across Texas and beyond. One of the most impactful efforts is sponsoring Accident Scene Management (ASM) classes through the Road Guardians.
These classes—often taught by EMTs and medical professionals who ride—equip motorcyclists with the knowledge to respond in the critical moments after a crash.
“Those first few minutes can make all the difference,” Glen says. “If we can help riders be more prepared, we can help save lives.”
In addition to ASM training, Glen is deeply engaged in motorcycle events, safety initiatives, and partnerships that bring riders together—reinforcing a shared commitment to looking out for one another on and off the road.
Changing the Narrative Around Riders
One of the biggest challenges in motorcycle cases isn’t always the facts—it’s perception.
There’s a longstanding misconception that riders are inherently reckless. But in reality, most are hardworking, family-oriented individuals who respect the road and the responsibility that comes with it.
“When someone is injured on a motorcycle, there can be an assumption before the story is even told,” Glen says. “Part of our role is making sure the full truth is seen.”
That means humanizing the rider, telling their story clearly, and ensuring they are treated with the respect they deserve.
Why Experience in Motorcycle Cases Matters
Motorcycle cases are not the same as standard motor vehicle cases.
They require:
- A deep understanding of rider behavior and safety
- The ability to explain the dynamics unique to motorcycles
- Respect for the culture and community behind the ride
“You want someone who understands what riding really means,” Glen explains. “Someone who can relate—but also step into a courtroom with professionalism and credibility when it matters most.”
It’s about balance. Respecting the culture, while delivering results at the highest level.
The Hidden Risk: Insurance Gaps
Beyond the road itself, one of the biggest risks riders face is financial—and often overlooked.
Because motorcycles are smaller and less visible, riders are more vulnerable to:
- drivers who fail to see them
- hit-and-run incidents
- “phantom vehicle” crashes with no direct contact
In these situations, Underinsured Motorist (UM) coverage can make all the difference.
“If you ride, you owe it to yourself and your family to have strong UM coverage,” Glen says. “It’s one of the most important decisions you can make before anything ever happens.”
He also cautions riders not to ignore injuries after a crash. What feels minor in the moment can develop into something more serious over time.
Riding in Texas: Beauty and Responsibility
Texas offers some of the most incredible riding in the country—but it also presents unique challenges.
From rural roads with limited visibility to rapidly growing cities with dense traffic, riders must constantly adapt.
“In Texas, every ride can be different,” Glen explains. “You have to stay aware, prepared, and intentional—whether you’re riding through open country or navigating a busy city.”
Understanding those conditions—and how they impact a case—is critical when representing injured riders.
Advocacy Beyond the Courtroom
For Glen, this work extends far beyond individual cases.
Through his leadership with the National Academy of Motorcycle Injury Lawyers and his ongoing community involvement, he is committed to advancing rider safety, education, and legal advocacy nationwide.
“This is about more than legal representation,” he says. “It’s about standing up for riders, sharing knowledge, and making the road safer for everyone.”
That mission is strengthened through collaboration—between attorneys, safety organizations, and the riding community itself.
Protecting the Freedom to Ride
At its core, this work is about protecting something deeply personal—the freedom to ride.
Whether someone identifies as a biker or a motorcyclist, the connection is the same: independence, clarity, and the open road.
And when that freedom is interrupted, having the right advocate matters.
“Make sure the person telling your story understands why you ride,” Glen says. “Because that matters more than anything.”
