Dallas Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Cyclists Are Protected by the Law, We Demand Answers from Drivers Who Fail to Follow It.

Riding a bicycle is an excellent form of exercise and an inexpensive form of transportation for adults. For children, learning to ride a bike is even considered a rite of passage. Unfortunately for people of all ages, bicycle riding can be extremely dangerous when careless motorists or hazardous roadways are involved.

Arnold & Itkin fights for injured cyclists throughout Dallas and across the U.S. We have seen far too many lives claimed in bicycle accidents that could have been prevented if a driver had only been paying attention, if a manufacturer hadn’t cut corners in producing an auto or bicycle part, or if a road had been properly maintained. Our goal in these cases is to help victims and their families get the medical care and financial help they need to move on.

Call us at (888) 493-1629 today to speak with one of our friendly legal professionals about your case. We’re here to help however we can!

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries

Bicycle riders may experience serious injuries, even in low-speed collisions. These may include:

  • Broken bones
  • Severe cuts and bruises
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Facial trauma

Injuries like these can occur even when a rider is wearing a helmet and other protective gear. The force of impact with a vehicle or with the pavement can cause catastrophic injuries that require emergency medical care, plus the need for ongoing treatment or therapy.

Texas Bike Accident Statistics

The Texas Department of Transportation reports there were 2,426 bicycle accidents in Texas in 2018. Of these, 71 caused fatalities and 258 caused serious injuries. Another 1,043 caused non-debilitating injuries. Across the U.S., 857 cyclists lost their lives in traffic accidents in 2018. This represented a 6.3% increase in cyclist deaths, even though the overall number of traffic fatalities in the U.S. decreased by 2.4%. 2018 marked the highest number of cyclist deaths since 1990 when 859 bicycle riders were killed.

What Can I Do to Stay Safe in Dallas?

If you ride a bicycle for pleasure or to get to and from work or school in the Dallas area, you can take a few steps to protect yourself while you’re out on the road.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) offers the following tips:

  • Always wear a helmet and other protective gear
  • Wear bright, reflective clothing
  • Make sure your bike is in proper working order
  • Use a white front light, red read light, and reflectors on your bike
  • Always stay focused and alert
  • Obey traffic laws as they apply to cyclists
  • Never assume that motorists can see or will yield to you
