Austin Bicycle Accident Attorney

Have you been seriously injured in a bicycle accident in Austin?

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a bicycle accident, due to no fault of your own, we advise you consult with an Austin personal injury lawyer at our firm right away. Our attorneys understand how traumatic bicycle accidents can be, especially if the bicyclist's injuries go far beyond broken bones. In fact it is not uncommon for bicyclists to sustain a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injuries as a result of an accident.

When gas prices start to rise, more and more people turn to alternative modes of transportation in order to get around. One of the most popular is the bicycle. Riding bicycles is a great way for a person to get exercise, it is environmentally-friendly, and a bicycle is very inexpensive to operate. Bicyclists can also move in and around traffic where other vehicles cannot. This, however, makes bicyclists more vulnerable and at higher risk of getting into accidents.

Even bicyclists who obey all traffic laws and exercise extreme caution can still sustain catastrophic injuries during an accident. While drivers and passengers in cars, trucks or other vehicles have certain safety precautions in place, bicyclists have very little protection other than their helmets. Reports show that every 6 hours a bicyclist is injured in some type of motor vehicle accident. Approximately 1/3 of all bicycle accidents involve a bicycle and a motor vehicle, and the majority of bicyclists injured are minor children under the age of 16.
