Identifying Who is at Fault for Your Bicycle Accident

We may be able to help you establish liability for your bicycle accident and all damages. In many cases, the following parties are responsible:

Car or Truck Driver

If you were hit by a car while on your bike, the distracted driver may be liable for your bicycle accident. If you ran off the road to avoid being hit, they may also be held responsible for your injuries.

Bicycle Manufacturer

The company that built the bike may have installed a defective component that caused your bicycle to malfunction. Inadequate brakes, a weak chain, or a poorly engineered tire caused you to lose control of the bike.

Local Municipality

The government agency responsible for keeping the street in working order may be liable if they failed to perform inspections or maintenance. You may have run over a pothole or loose gravel.

Pedestrian

A pedestrian may be liable if they were not paying attention and walked out in front of you. In order to avoid hitting the pedestrian, you crashed your bicycle and sustained injuries.

Liability depends on what caused your wreck and who is at fault. Contact D. Miller & Associates, PLLC, to discuss your case and better understand who may be liable for your injuries.

Legal Services Our Law Firm Offers in Bicycle Accident Cases

The type of legal services we provide may depend on the circumstances of your accident, the liable party, and the damages you incurred. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping you win your case.

We provide the following legal services to establish liability and case value:

Investigate the Accident Further

After we review the facts of your case, we investigate the accident further to obtain evidence, establish liability, and negotiate a settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance company.

Oversee All Aspects of Your Case

Our legal team will manage your case and help you prepare to file a claim. We can gather and organize all necessary documents, develop a legal strategy, and meet all deadlines for submitting a claim.

Contact the At-Fault Party’s Insurance

In bicycle accident cases, the liable party’s insurance company may be responsible for negotiating a settlement to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages. We can help you submit your claim and work towards a settlement.

Provide Evidence of Who Caused Your Accident

We may seek evidence from various sources to verify your claim against the liable party. The evidence we submit may include:

Reports filled out by a police officer on the scene
Statements from eyewitnesses who observed the accident
Any photos or videos taken during or after the accident
The total amount of your medical bills
Proof of lost wages or benefits

Pursue an Appropriate Settlement

The insurance adjuster may offer a settlement based on what they believe your case is worth. If you feel the settlement is unfair or does not cover your damages, we will negotiate with the insurance company.

Challenge the Settlement in Court

If the insurance company is unwilling to cooperate or denies your claim, we may file a lawsuit and take it to court. An attorney will represent you in court and fight for your rights.

Seeking Recovery for Your Expenses and Losses

Your bicycle accident case value depends on the severity and long-term effects of your injuries, economic losses, and non-economic losses.

There are several types of damages we may account for when filing a claim, including:

Hospitalization and emergency medical care costs
Ongoing medical expenses
Lost wages, benefits, or retirement funds
Emotional and physical pain and suffering
Loss of consortium
Permanent disability

Two-Year Deadline for Personal Injury Claims in Texas

After you are injured in a bicycle accident, the state of Texas gives you two years to file a personal injury claim against the responsible party.

Under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Title 2 § 16.033, your case may no longer be valid if you miss the deadline for filing a claim. Therefore, you need to pursue recovery for your damages before the two-year period.
