Bicycle Accidents Can Be Life-Changing

Cyclists don’t have airbags or steel frames to protect them. When a car or truck hits a bike, it’s the cyclist who suffers most.

These crashes often lead to:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Fractures and dislocations
  • Road rash and facial injuries
  • Long-term disability or chronic pain

Even when the driver is clearly at fault, insurance companies often try to blame the cyclist. At Herbert Trial Law, we know how to expose those tactics and fight back—so you get the compensation you deserve.

Don’t wait. Get help from a motorcycle accident lawyer who knows how to win BIG.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

So what causes these crashes—and how do careless drivers try to cover them up?

These wrecks happen fast, and cyclists often pay the highest price—even when they were clearly obeying traffic laws. Drivers and city planners may try to shift the blame, but the truth is, most bike crashes are preventable.

Common causes include:

  • Dooring incidents – drivers open car doors into the cyclist’s path without checking
  • Failure to yield – ignoring bike lanes or cyclist right-of-way at intersections
  • Distracted driving – texting, eating, or adjusting GPS while behind the wheel
  • Road hazards – potholes, broken curbs, or poorly maintained streets
  • Unsafe passing by large vehicles – trucks or buses getting too close or sideswiping

Bicyclists deserve the same protection and respect as any other road user. When negligence leads to serious injury, you need a team that knows how to expose the facts and fight for maximum compensation.

Who’s Liable in a Bike Accident?

Here’s what we look for:

  • Was the driver distracted or speeding?
  • Did the driver fail to yield to a cyclist?
  • Was the bike lane blocked or ignored?
  • Were road conditions unsafe due to poor maintenance?
  • Were traffic signals or signage missing or broken?

Liability in bicycle crashes can also extend beyond just the driver—sometimes
municipalities or commercial fleets share the blame. We make sure no detail
is overlooked.

They’ll Blame You—Even When It’s Clearly Their Fault

Insurance companies know juries sometimes carry hidden bias against cyclists. They use that to their advantage—acting like they care, while quietly setting you up to take the fall.

Here’s what they don’t want you to know:

  • They send investigators to the crash site—before you’ve even left the hospital
  • They twist your words from early statements to downplay their driver’s
  • responsibility

Bicycle Accident FAQs

Our Attorneys Are Always Ready to Answer Your Questions

After a bicycle accident, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with anxiety and confusion. At Herbert Trial Law, our commitment to our clients is to guide them towards justice and recovery. If you have questions at any time, our Houston personal injury lawyers can be reached by phone, text or email.

Do I really need a lawyer for a bicycle accident?

Yes. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto cyclists. We protect your rights and fight for full compensation.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

You can still have a case. Texas doesn’t require adult cyclists to wear helmets, and lack of a helmet doesn’t excuse driver negligence.

How long do I have to file?

In Texas, you typically have 2 years to file—but evidence fades fast. Don’t wait.

Can I recover damages even if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Texas follows modified comparative fault rules. As long as you were less than 51% at fault, you may still recover damages.
