Injured In a Keller Bicycle/Pedestrian Accident? Know Your Legal Rights.


Most people think that personal injury lawyers only help people that have been seriously hurt in car, truck or motorcycle collisions - but what about bicycle riders and pedestrians? If either is involved in an auto accident they can suffer serious injuries too. The good news is that in Texas, cyclists, joggers and walkers all have a legal right to compensation if they have been injured due to someone else's negligence. Keller bicycle and pedestrian attorney Mark Anderson has been helping individuals get the full and fair compensation they deserve since 1991. If you or a loved one has been injured in a Keller bicycle or pedestrian accident, call now for a free consultation on your personal injury case.

Bicycle Accidents

It is perfectly legal in Texas for bicycles to be on the road. So long as they are complying with the law and travelling in the same direction as the rest of the traffic, there is no problem. However, if a cyclist is injured the injuries are usually extremely serious. Just as with motorcycle wrecks, bicycles offer no protection to their rider. Broken bones, internal injuries, blunt force trauma and head injuries can all be severe. If the accident was not your fault; if a driver turned in front of you or didn't see you and ran you off the road, for example, then this is evaluated just like any other traffic accident case. The negligent motorist's insurance company should compensate you for your injuries. Even if the at-fault driver is uninsured, you can still make a claim against your own UM/UIM coverage, even though you were riding a bike at the time of the accident.

Pedestrian Injuries

Likewise, if you are a pedestrian crossing the street or even just walking along the sidewalk and are hit by a vehicle, you too have a right to make a claim for damages which would cover your medical bills, any loss of income, as well as compensation for the very real pain and suffering that you have experienced from being hit. While every situation is inevitably going to be different to a degree, generally pedestrians have the right of way. Obviously, if a pedestrian suddenly jumps out into the middle of the road into the path of a car, then that might be the pedestrian's fault. But those are not the kind of cases we usually see. Far more often, it is a law abiding pedestrian crossing the street at a crosswalk, or maybe even just standing there waiting to cross the street, when a driver who wasn't paying attention crashes into them.

Cars, trucks and motorcycles all have a duty to watch out for pedestrians and cyclists. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident caused by a negligent driver, it's important that you seek legal advice from a board certified Texas personal injury attorney who is experienced in handling bicycle and pedestrian injuries and fatalities in Keller and throughout Tarrant County.
