Texas is not known as a bike-friendly state, but bikers still have every right to use the roads, and the drivers of cars and other motor vehicles have an obligation to look out for their safety. Unfortunately, all too often, negligent drivers cause serious and even fatal accidents.

Making Sure Negligent Drivers Take Responsibility
Even at relatively low speeds, bicycle accidents can cause severe injuries to bikers, who have little protection from collisions. That is why drivers need to be careful when making turns, changing lanes and taking other potentially dangerous actions near people who are riding bikes.
Drivers always have a responsibility to take all reasonable steps to avoid hitting bicyclists, and when they do not do so, they and their insurance companies can be held accountable.
If you have been injured by a negligent driver, you have a right to make a personal injury claim. Even if you were not wearing a helmet or did not have a reflector on your bike, the driver who hit you may still be legally at fault for your injuries and liable for compensating you.
Many bicycle and car crashes turn into hit-and-run situations because drivers panic and leave the scene, claiming they did not see the accident. If you have been injured by a hit-and-run driver, our lawyers will immediately begin investigating your case to identify who hit you.
