Bicycle Injuries

As a bicycle injury attorney and bike accident lawyer in Austin, Texas, I know there is often confusion regarding these types of personal injury cases. More and more people today are enjoying the freedom a bicycle gives. In urban areas, cycling can offer a reasonable and inexpensive to driving to work. Also, the increased popularity of cycling for exercise and for competition have lead to dramatic increase in the number of bicycles sharing the road with cars. Unfortunately, this in turn has increased the number of accidents involving automobiles and cyclists. These types of bicycle accidents often result in serious personal injury or even death. It is more important than ever that cyclists take responsibility for keeping themselves safe, while drivers increase their vigilance to avoid hitting cyclists.

When a bicyclist does suffer personal injuries in an bike accident with an automobile or truck, it is important to take the same precautions to preserve their rights as they would in a wreck between two cars. The injured person or a witness should record all relevant information regarding the accident, including the name and all the contact information for everyone involved in the accident, including any other witnesses. Also, the police should always be called to make and official accident report. And, of course, the injured cyclist should always be examined by a physician to evaluate their injuries. Finally, consult a personal injury attorney to evaluate the case and to determine what steps need to be taken to preserve the bicycle injury claim.
