Texas Bicycle Accidents

A bicycle is no match for a larger motorized vehicle, and the rider is generally not very well protected from harm if they are hit and thrown off the bike. Wearing a helmet is important for preventing some head injuries, but a bicycle rider is basically unprotected against collision with larger vehicles. Personal injury law provides some relief for those who are injured while riding bicycles.

Studies have shown that most bicycle-automobile accidents are not the fault of the bicycle rider. Drivers of larger vehicles can run into a bicycle at any time when they are in close proximity. When drivers neglect to follow the law, there can easily be a collision. If the driver of an automobile or truck fails to yield right-of-way, ignores stop signs or runs a red light at the same time the bike rider pedals into their path, the result can be life-threatening. Congestion, speeding, reckless driving and distractions also contribute to bicycle accidents.
