How these crashes happen
How these crashes happen: drivers must share the road
Failure to yield
Drivers turning through crosswalks or across bike lanes.
Dooring & close passes
Opening a door or passing too close to a cyclist.
Distracted or impaired drivers
Phones, alcohol and speed in busy neighborhoods.
Who pays
Who pays after a bicycle or pedestrian accident?
The driver’s liability insurance is usually the first source. If you own a car, your own PIP and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may also protect you while you’re biking or walking. We check every policy.
Why pedestrian and bike crashes are so serious in Texas
Texas cities were built for cars. Wide, fast roads, long blocks between crosswalks and heavy truck traffic put people on foot and on bikes at real risk, especially at night.
What to do after you’re hit
Get medical care right away
Keep your bike, helmet and clothing as evidence
Photograph the scene, signals and crosswalk
Note nearby cameras and witnesses
Don’t talk to the driver’s insurer before talking to us
Bicycle & pedestrian accident FAQs
What if I wasn’t in a crosswalk?
You may still have a claim. Drivers must take care to avoid people on the road. Fault is shared under Texas’s 51% rule.
Do cyclists have the same rights as cars in Texas?
Generally, yes. Cyclists have the same rights and duties as drivers, and drivers must give them safe room.
How long do I have to file?
Generally two years from the crash in Texas.
