Who doesn’t love a leisurely bike ride along the Katy Trail or through Townlake Park? Cyclists are permitted to use the full lane where there aren’t bike paths, and drivers are expected to give them a wide berth. Despite this, hundreds of DFW cyclists are injured yearly in bike wrecks. If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, even if it was a single-vehicle accident, you might be eligible for a large settlement. Our Dallas, TX, bicycle accident lawyer can help you get it. Call Kelso Law today for a consultation.

Bicycle Accident Lawyer Dallas, TX

Bicycle accident injuries can leave the cyclist’s life forever changed. The impact of the car on your unprotected body, then your impact on the rough, hard concrete, causes multiple bone fractures, internal organ damage and internal bleeding, extensive “road rash,” and, even with a helmet, the potential for severe brain trauma. How long will it take to recover from bicycle accident injuries? Months, sometimes, with no guarantee that you’ll fully regain your abilities. As you lie in bed, in pain and out of work, you’re in no place to fight alone.

Let our Dallas bicycle accident lawyer fight for you. We’re tough litigators who advocate for your rights, including the right to demand fair compensation for your losses. You have the right to full recovery of all necessary medical expenditures, including surgery and physical therapy, as well as replenishment of lost wages from the time you missed work (even if you used your sick leave). And, we also fight for fair compensation for the pain and suffering, and emotional trauma of the incident. Let’s face it—getting hit by a car is scary! While no amount of money can heal your injuries, your settlement can help you get the best medical care and psychological counseling and give you the means to rebuild your life.

We gather the evidence necessary to prove negligence on the other party’s part. Often, this is a distracted or reckless driver, so we review their phone data and data from their vehicle’s Event Data Recorder, witness statements, and traffic or dash cam footage of the collision. Some bicycle accident cases are due to city or county negligence, though. Failure to keep the roads in safe repair or place signage to prevent traffic accidents can cause a bicyclist to get hurt. In these cases, we hold the municipality reasonable and demand damages.
