Pedestrian & Bicycle Accident Lawyers in Texas – The Davis Law Firm

Pedestrians and bicyclists are among the most vulnerable people on the road. When a motor vehicle strikes someone on foot or riding a bicycle, the consequences are often severe. These crashes are rarely unavoidable—they are typically the result of drivers failing to pay attention, yield the right of way, or follow traffic laws.

Across Texas, pedestrian and bicycle accidents are increasing, particularly in busy urban areas like Dallas. When drivers fail to exercise reasonable care, innocent people suffer life-changing injuries. Under Texas law, the at-fault party and their insurance company are responsible for compensating victims for the harm caused.

At The Davis Law Firm, led by Chad Davis, we represent injured pedestrians and bicyclists throughout Texas. Our goal is to hold negligent drivers accountable and help victims recover the full compensation they deserve.

Legal Representation for Pedestrian & Bicycle Accident Victims

Pedestrian and bicycle accident cases require a strong understanding of traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and how liability is determined in collisions involving motor vehicles and vulnerable road users. At The Davis Law Firm, we handle cases involving:
  • Pedestrians struck in crosswalks
  • Pedestrians hit in parking lots or intersections
  • Bicyclists hit by cars or trucks
  • Dooring accidents (vehicle doors opened into cyclists)
  • Right-turn and left-turn collisions
  • Hit-and-run pedestrian or bicycle accidents
  • Crashes involving distracted or impaired drivers
These cases often involve serious injuries, complex liability issues, and insurance companies attempting to shift blame. We work to build strong claims backed by evidence and expert analysis.

Common Causes of Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

Many pedestrian and bicycle accidents are caused by driver negligence. Common causes include:
  • Distracted driving, including texting or phone use
  • Failure to yield at crosswalks
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Speeding in residential or urban areas
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Failure to check blind spots
  • Unsafe turns at intersections
  • Opening car doors into bike lanes
  • Poor visibility or failure to use headlights at night
Drivers have a duty to remain alert and watch for pedestrians and bicyclists, especially in high-traffic areas. When they fail to do so, they can be held responsible for the harm caused.

Why Choose The Davis Law Firm?

Experience With Texas Personal Injury Law

Pedestrian and bicycle accident claims fall under Texas personal injury law, which requires proving negligence and establishing liability. Our firm understands how to apply these legal principles to build strong cases and pursue maximum compensation.

Thorough Investigation of the Crash

Every case begins with a detailed investigation. We gather evidence such as police reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, medical records, and accident reconstruction analysis to determine exactly what happened and who is responsible.

In pedestrian and bicycle cases, visibility, right-of-way, driver behavior, and roadway conditions are often key factors. We analyze all available information to support your claim.

Handling Comparative Fault Allegations

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning compensation may still be available even if the injured person is partially blamed. Insurance companies often try to argue that a pedestrian or bicyclist was not paying attention or was outside a designated crossing area.

The Davis Law Firm challenges these claims by presenting clear evidence of driver negligence and emphasizing the duty motorists have to watch for pedestrians and cyclists.

Dealing With Insurance Companies

Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize payouts in pedestrian and bicycle accident cases. They may argue that injuries are exaggerated, question medical treatment, or try to assign fault to the victim.

Our firm handles all communication with insurers, negotiates aggressively, and works to secure compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries and losses.

Client-Focused Support and Communication

We understand that being struck by a vehicle can be a traumatic experience. Our team provides clear guidance, regular updates, and straightforward answers so you can focus on your recovery while we handle the legal process.

Serious Injuries in Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

Because pedestrians and bicyclists lack physical protection, injuries are often severe. Common injuries include:

Head and Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions, can result in long-term cognitive and neurological issues.

Spinal Cord and Back Injuries

These injuries can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, or paralysis.

 

The Davis Law Firm

Broken Bones and Fractures

High-impact collisions often result in fractures that require surgery and rehabilitation.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries can cause ongoing pain and reduced movement.

Internal Injuries

Internal bleeding and organ damage may not be immediately visible but can be life-threatening.

Emotional and Psychological Trauma

Victims may experience anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress following a serious crash.

Compensation Available to Victims

Victims of pedestrian and bicycle accidents may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Rehabilitation and therapy
  • Permanent disability or impairment
  • Property damage (including bicycles and personal items)

The Davis Law Firm works to calculate the full value of your claim and pursue compensation that reflects both your current and future needs.

FAQ

After a pedestrian or bicycle accident, you should seek immediate medical attention, even if your injuries do not seem serious at first. Call 911 so the accident is officially documented and try to obtain the driver’s contact and insurance information. If possible, take photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals, and visible injuries. Witness information and surveillance footage can also become extremely important in these cases. A Texas pedestrian and bicycle injury lawyer can help preserve evidence and protect your legal rights.

Drivers who fail to yield, drive distracted, speed, or ignore traffic laws may be held responsible for pedestrian and bicycle crashes. In some situations, additional parties such as employers, commercial vehicle companies, or property owners may also share liability. Every case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and whether negligence contributed to the injuries.

Pedestrian and bicycle accident victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability, and future medical treatment. Because pedestrians and cyclists have little physical protection during a collision, these accidents often result in severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, and permanent scarring.

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you were less than 51% responsible for the accident, you may still recover compensation, although your recovery may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often attempt to blame pedestrians or cyclists for accidents, making legal representation especially important in disputed cases.

In most cases, Texas law gives injured victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, waiting too long can make it harder to obtain surveillance footage, witness statements, accident reports, and other critical evidence. Acting quickly after an accident can help strengthen your case.

Insurance companies frequently try to minimize injuries or deny responsibility in pedestrian and bicycle accident cases. An experienced attorney can investigate the crash, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and pursue full compensation for your injuries. The Davis Law Firm represents injured pedestrians and cyclists throughout Texas after serious traffic accidents.
