Bicycle Accidents

Texas Bicycle Accident Lawyers

Biking has become more popular as people are seeking environmentally friendly modes of transportation and ways to be more active. As more cyclists share the road with cars, it is important that drivers follow safe driving practices to keep cyclists safe. However, bike accidents with motor vehicles are becoming more common on Texas roads. In fact, an article in the Houston Chronicle cites that drivers struck cyclists 557 times in Harris County alone in 2021. And, the Texas Department of Transportation reported that crashes involving cyclists claimed the lives of 92 Texans last year.

Without much protection in an accident, cyclists often experience severe injuries with a long road to recovery.

Common Causes of Bike Accidents in Texas

Driver behavior is the primary cause of car accidents involving cyclists in Texas. This is simply unacceptable because bad behavior while driving is easily preventable to keep our roads and the cyclists traveling alongside them safe. The most common causes of bike accidents include:

• Distracted driving, such as looking at a cellphone or navigation system, eating, or drinking while behind the wheel
• Drivers failing to yield to cyclists
• Drunk driving or driving under the influence
• Reckless driving, such as veering into designated bike lanes, running red lights, and turning at intersections without looking
• Speeding
• Unmaintained motor vehicles
