Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents demand the skills of an experienced lawyer

When a negligent driver strikes a pedestrian or a bicyclist, the victim and his or her family can be devastated. A seriously injured cyclist or pedestrian may face a lifetime of health issues. Medical bills can shoot through the roof. The impact of the injury can affect the victim's ability to work. The family of the victim may struggle to understand the meaning of event.

If you sustained a bicycle injury or pedestrian injury, you may be entitled to compensation. The Herrera Law Firm has the resources and skills to get injury victims the full compensation they deserve. When we represent bike accident victims or pedestrian accident victims, we typically pore over accident reports, interview possible witnesses, and examine the crash scene and damage to the bicycle.

Distracted drivers often at root of car wrecks in Texas

Car accidents involving bicycles and pedestrians typically are traced back to a distracted driver. For example, a driver may approach a crosswalk while reading a text message or fiddling with the car stereo and strike the pedestrian. In other cases, a bicyclist may be clipped by an inattentive driver who fails to safely pass or slow down for the cyclist.

The following is a short list of serious injuries that can occur in a bicycle or pedestrian accident in Texas:

In bicycle accidents or pedestrian accidents, the insurance company may try to quickly settle the case before all of the repercussions of the accident are determined. An insurance adjuster may even shift blame to the pedestrian or the cyclist in an attempt to low ball or deny payment. Never accept an offer made by the insurance company before first talking to an experienced lawyer. You may rightfully deserve far more than their initial offer.
