Bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles are rarely minor. When a cyclist is hit by a car, truck, or bus, the results are often catastrophic. According to national traffic data, the majority of pedalcyclist fatalities happen in urban areas, most commonly during evening hours when visibility is low and traffic congestion is high. Many of these accidents involve alcohol, inattentive driving, or drivers simply failing to share the road.
In Texas, cyclists have the same legal rights as motorists. When those rights are violated due to driver negligence, serious injuries and even wrongful death can occur. Our Houston bicycle accident lawyers know how to hold negligent drivers accountable, even when the insurance company pushes back.
Bicycle riders are particularly vulnerable in traffic. In 2016 alone, over 800 pedalcyclists were killed in crashes involving motor vehicles. A majority were struck by the front of a vehicle, with light trucks being the most common type involved. Sadly, 84% of those killed were male, and the average age of fatalities continues to rise, reflecting the growing number of adult cyclists on the road.
Most fatal crashes happen at night or during early morning and evening rush hours. Many occur outside of intersections or bike lanes, and some involve alcohol—either by the driver, the cyclist, or both.
Our firm knows how to investigate these details thoroughly. We work quickly to collect evidence, obtain crash reports, interview witnesses, and determine whether driver distraction, alcohol use, poor lighting, or road conditions played a role.
