Bicycle Accidents in Texas
Bicycle accidents in urban areas like Houston are a growing concern, particularly at busy intersections where vehicles and cyclists must share the road. Texas has seen an increase in bicycle-related collisions in recent years, with distracted driving and failure to yield being common contributing factors.
Cyclists involved in crashes often suffer significant injuries due to the lack of protection compared to motor vehicle occupants. Head injuries, broken bones, and internal trauma are frequently reported in these types of accidents, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Victims of bicycle accidents may be entitled to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages resulting from the collision. Understanding one’s rights and the steps to take after an accident can be crucial in securing necessary financial and legal support.
