Escaping Hell on Two Wheels – What to Do after Your Bicycle Accident in Houston

As bicycles have become more popular as an inexpensive and reliable form of transportation, rapidly growing urban areas in Texas, like Houston, Clear Lake, and Galveston, have taken steps toward becoming more bike-friendly. With traffic in Houston routinely ranked among the nation’s worst, the city has been leading several pro-cycling policy changes in recent years. The TxDOT Bicycle Advisory Committee’s Strategic Direction Report, meanwhile, has identified numerous strategies and tactics to improve bicycle and pedestrian accommodations throughout the state.

Though cycling has become more popular, the risks and dangers of riding have not yet been mitigated. Bicycles may have as much right to the road as motor vehicles under the law. but cyclists are much much more susceptible to the actions of the motorists around them and even the conditions of the roads under their wheels. When a cyclist is struck by a vehicle that outweighs the bicycle by a thousand pounds or more, injuries often follow.

When a driver injures a cyclist, that driver (and their insurance carrier) should be held responsible.
