Arlington Pedestrians and Bicycle Accident Victims Deserve Compensation


As an Arlington Texas personal injury lawyer, I have been helping injured pedestrians, bicyclists and their families from across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex since 1991. If you or a cyclist you love has been injured in a bicycle accident involving another road user it is vital that you contact a board certified injury and wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. Just like passengers in auto collisions have a legal right to pursue compensation, you have a legal right to make a claim for damages to pay for your doctor bills, lost wages due to hospitalization and compensation for the physical and emotional trauma you have endured. Likewise, pedestrians who have been injured as a result of a dangerous and negligent motorist also have legal rights.

Over the past decade, the arrival of new and varied attractions in Arlington has meant a huge increase in both bicycle and pedestrian traffic in and around destinations such as Parks Mall, Six Flags Over Texas, Hurricane Harbor, Cowboys Stadium, Arlington Highlands, Lake Arlington, Vandergriff Park, Veteran Park, Randol Mill Park, Shady Valley Country Club and the Texas Rangers Ballpark.

Bicycle Accidents
Unfortunately, many wrecks involving bicycles fail to go reported, due largely to an unspoken bias by investigating police officers. Far too often, no police report is made unless the cyclist suffers life-threatening or fatal injuries. Even when a police report is completed, the self-serving statements given by the negligent drivers are given greater precedence than the word of the bike rider.

Cyclists should not be treated like second class citizens. Bicycles have as much right to be on the road as cars, buses, trucks and motorcycles. If you are injured in an accident while riding your bicycle, you have a right to pursue a claim for compensation against the at fault party's insurance company.

Pedestrian Accidents
By law, Texas motorists must yield to pedestrians, even if the pedestrian was jaywalking when they were hit. Common causes of Arlington pedestrian injuries as a result of negligent drivers include distracted driving such as texting behind the wheel, drunk driving, speeding and failure to stop at crosswalks, red lights or stop signs. One the most dangerous places for fatal pedestrian accidents to occur is in parking lots.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Injuries
It is extremely common that injuries sustained in both bicycle crashes and pedestrian accidents are severe. It is vital that you consult with an Arlington personal injury attorney who is experienced in bicycle and pedestrian injury cases so that you can make a successful claim for the compensation you deserve.

Common injuries sustained in bicycle and/or pedestrian accidents include:
  • Broken bones
  • Skull fractures
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spine, back and neck injuries
  • Road rash
