FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR BICYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS

Yes. As a college town, where thousands of students rely on their bicycles for around-the-clock transportation, all Austin residents have a right to use our roads for riding, when a bike lane is not readily available.

Although bicyclists are the frequent target of motorists’ aggression and are often made to feel like they do not have a right to the road, they are granted the same rights as the driver of a vehicle.

Motorists have a duty of care to other motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists when operating their vehicles from entry to exit. This duty includes keeping a proper lookout for pedestrians and bicyclists, especially when there is a nearby bike lane or when parked on corners where bicyclists are often traversing intersections.

Bicyclists are permitted to use the entire lane when they can keep up with traffic, or when the roadway is too narrow or unsafe to ride to the right of traffic.

Passing motorists must give bicycle riders at least 3-feet of space, which should be more than enough room to keep riders from being side-swiped or rear-ended by a passing vehicle.

When motorists do not provide the space a rider needs, they may be liable for the injuries that occur as a result.

Your health and physical well-being should be your priority. Often, injury victims of all types do not believe they are hurt enough to worry about seeking medical care. Unfortunately, head, neck, spine, and other traumatic injuries can be masked by adrenaline and have catastrophic consequences without treatment.

Always seek medical care immediately after you have been hurt in any type of accident in Texas and contact our skilled bicycle accident attorneys in Austin to discuss your case and how we can help you hold the liable party accountable for your full financial recovery.
