Do I need a lawyer for my bicycle accident claim?
Legal support helps if you face serious injuries or complex insurance questions. A lawyer protects your interests and explains your rights under Texas law.

Put safety first, get medical care right away, report the crash to authorities, and take photos if you are able. Keep all records, including medical bills and accident reports.
Who may be held responsible in a bicycle accident case?
Depending on the facts, another driver, a property owner, or a local government may be liable. An attorney can help review the facts and clarify possible responsibility.

Case timelines vary. Factors like the severity of injuries, complexity, and insurer response can affect how long your claim takes. Your attorney will keep you updated through every stage.

Our FAQ
-
Should I just take the money the insurance company offers me?
There are many cases in which this is the best course of action. For one, if you were not badly injured or weren’t injured at all and your car has minimal damage, you might not want or need to seek further damages, especially when that can take months. However, if an insurance company makes a low first offer, then you may want to consult an attorney who can give you an accurate estimate of the worth of your accident. If they refuse to offer more than an initial settlement and you need more than that to recover, an attorney at your side could help you get all that you need.
-
Why do I need to hire an attorney?
While there are many methods to receive compensation without an attorney, time and time again we find that insurance settlements offer far too little for our clients to recover and fighting a legal battle is often too complex for many people to take on themselves. If you had minimal damage to your car and were not hurt, then you probably don’t need an attorney. However, insurance companies and the responsible party will try many tactics when avoiding paying you for your suffering. With an experienced attorney, you can fight to receive every penny you need to recover.
-
How much is my case worth?
This question can be difficult to answer on a broad scale because of the absolutely unique nature of your accident. However, the types of compensation you can seek can be fairly similar, from case to case. For one, you can seek damages for any kind of medical bills you incurred, or lost wages from the time you had to spend away from work while recovering. If the accident left you unable to work, you can seek compensation for loss of future wages. If you foresee needing physical or emotional therapy, the estimated amount can also be sought. And there is more than just monetary losses: compensation for your emotional suffering and pain may be sought as well.
