Bicycle Accidents in Texas

Texas has a bad reputation when it comes to bicycle safety. The rate of deadly bike crashes has spiked dramatically in recent years. The number of cyclists who died in traffic accidents rose by 28 percent between 2018 and 2022. There were 2,349 bicycle-related traffic collisions in Texas in 2022 alone, which led to 92 fatalities and 333 serious injuries. In the United States, motor vehicle crashes claimed the lives of 932 cyclists in 2020, an 8.9 percent rise from the previous year. In 2020, 2 percent of all motor vehicle traffic fatalities were bicycle-related. A little over 1,000 persons lost their lives in bicycle accidents nationwide in a recent calendar year. If you or someone close to you is seriously hurt in a bicycle crash, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a trained lawyer. 

You could feel helpless and lost after a catastrophic bike accident and not know where to start. The insurance company may be contesting your claim and attempting to press for a low-ball settlement offer while you are dealing with pain, uncertainty about your finances, and a protracted path to recovery. No two accidents are exactly the same. Damages and circumstances differ significantly from one instance to the next. Because of this, it is hard to assign a precise monetary value to bicycle accidents or determine their worth without conducting a thorough analysis. The easiest method to determine whether a claim is legitimate and how much money could be awarded is to arrange a free consultation with a knowledgeable Texas personal injury lawyer.
