Pedestrian / Biking Accidents

Texas Bicycle, Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

When a 3,000-pound car runs into a bicyclist or pedestrian, there is no contest. The biker or walker is going be seriously injured, if he or she survives.

Every year, motor vehicles injure and kill cyclists and pedestrians throughout Central Texas. If you have been injured, or if a member of your family suffered a wrongful death in a bicycle or pedestrian accident, please contact an attorney at Ross Law P.C. in Austin, Texas, today.

Winning Cases for Injured Cyclists

Bicyclists have a legal right to share the road with automobiles. Yet, as any serious cyclist will tell you, drivers frequently put bikers at risk. Sometimes drivers are distracted and claim they don't see the cyclist. Other times, they purposefully try to run the biker off the road.

Motorists complain that bicyclists fail to follow the rules of the road. However, a study by the League of American Bicyclists found that the motorist is at fault in 60 percent of car-bike collision while cyclists were responsible for 17 percent of the accidents.

Our firm won a $1.5 million settlement on behalf of an injured bicyclist who, according to the police report, was responsible for the accident. We retained an accident reconstructionist who is an expert in bicycle/vehicle accidents, who showed our client did not run a stop sign, as others assumed. We will go the extra mile to get to uncover the truth in your case, too.

Legal Help for Pedestrian Accident Victims

A pedestrian is injured by a motor vehicle every 8 minutes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Pedestrians shouldn't have to risk their lives just to cross the street. Yet, motorists killed 4,881 pedestrians in the U.S. in 2005.
