Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists have the same right to the road as any driver — but almost none of the protection. When a careless driver causes a bicycle accident, the resulting injuries are often serious, and the case deserves to be treated that way.
Representing Cyclists Injured by Negligent Drivers
Thousands of cyclists are injured every year in Texas by drivers who fail to yield, open a car door into a bike lane, pass too closely, or simply don't see a rider until it's too late. Because a bicycle offers virtually no protection in a collision with a vehicle, these accidents frequently result in serious injuries — road rash and fractures at best, and head, spine, or catastrophic injuries at worst.
Insurance companies sometimes try to shift blame onto the cyclist. Jason investigates the full picture — traffic laws, right-of-way rules, witness accounts, and physical evidence — to build a claim that holds the actual responsible party accountable.
Common Causes
- Failure to yield at intersections
- Dooring (a parked car door opened into traffic)
- Unsafe passing
- Distracted driving
- Right-hook & left-turn collisions
- Hit-and-run accidents
Protecting a Cyclist's Right to Fair Compensation
Serious Injuries Are Common
Without a vehicle's protection, cyclists are especially vulnerable to head, spine, and orthopedic injuries even in lower-speed collisions.
Shared Fault Doesn't Bar Recovery
Texas's comparative negligence rule can still allow recovery even if a driver's insurer tries to place some blame on the cyclist.
Preserving the Evidence
Helmet damage, bike damage, and traffic camera footage can all matter — and can disappear quickly without prompt investigation.
