Accidentes de bicicleta

Abogado de accidentes de bicicleta

Cyclists face some of the highest stakes on Texas roads. A driver's momentary distraction, an unsafe pass, or a failure to yield can leave a rider with life changing injuries in an instant, while the vehicle involved often walks away with barely a scratch.

Insurance companies know this imbalance too, and they frequently try to shift blame onto the cyclist rather than pay what a serious injury claim is actually worth.

The Daspit Law Firm represents injured cyclists and grieving families throughout Texas, whether the crash involved a negligent driver, a hit and run, a defective bicycle part, or dangerous road conditions.

Attorney John Daspit's background as a former insurance defense lawyer means we know exactly how insurers build a defense against a bicycle accident claim, and we use that knowledge to build a stronger one for you. If you or a loved one was hurt while riding, call (888) 273-1045 for a free, 24/7 case review before you talk to any insurance adjuster.

Seek Compensation for Your Damages

Los accidentes de bicicleta son algunos de los accidentes de tráfico más devastadores en las vías públicas. Debido al hecho de que los ciclistas tienen poca protección contra la fuerza de un vehículo de pasajeros o camión, estos accidentes a menudo resultan en lesiones catastróficas y muerte injusta.

• Error y negligencia del conductor
• Accidentes por conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol o las drogas
• Cambios de carril o giros inseguros
• Distracciones del conductor, como enviar mensajes de texto y conducir
• Señales de tráfico defectuosas o carreteras peligrosas

Carriles bici

It's common to find bicyclists attempting to share the road with vehicles when there are no protected bike lanes available. The country has started adding more bike lanes, but there are still countless miles of roadways where there is no protected bike lane, leaving cyclists with no choice but to share the road.

In that case, drivers are required by law to give bicyclists at least three feet of clearance as they pass by.

FAQS REGARDING BICYCLE ACCIDENTS

What should I do immediately after a bike accident in Texas?

Call 911 and get medical attention even if you feel fine, since adrenaline can mask injuries. Texas law requires reporting any crash involving injury, death, or apparent damage.

Photograph the bicycle, the vehicle, the road, and your injuries, get the driver's insurance and contact information, and collect witness names. See a doctor the same day, and call an attorney before giving the driver's insurer a recorded statement.

Does Texas law require drivers to give cyclists space?

Yes. Texas's safe passing law requires drivers to leave at least three feet of clearance when passing a cyclist, more if the speed limit is higher. A driver who violates that distance and causes a collision is generally at fault, and the citation or violation can support your injury claim.

What if I was partially at fault for my bicycle accident?

Texas follows a comparative negligence rule: you can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% responsible for the crash, though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies routinely try to shift blame onto the cyclist, which is one reason to have an attorney evaluate fault before you accept any offer.

Can I sue if a pothole or road defect caused my bike accident?

Possibly, through a premises liability or negligent road maintenance claim against the property owner, contractor, or government entity responsible for the road. Claims against a city, county, or state agency carry short, strict notice deadlines, sometimes as little as six months, so these cases need to be reviewed quickly.

What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?

Check your own auto policy, or a household member's, for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Cyclists are generally covered by UM/UIM the same way a pedestrian or passenger would be. You may also have other options depending on whether the driver was working at the time of the crash.

How much is my bicycle accident case worth?

There's no fixed number. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering, along with how clearly fault can be established. A free case review with our attorneys can give you a realistic range based on the specifics of your accident.
