Bicycle Accidents

Fighting for Injured Cyclists Across Houston

 

Cyclists have the same rights to the road as motorists — yet too often, careless drivers put them in danger. A collision with a car can cause life-changing injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and lost income.
At The Lakhani Law Firm, we stand up for injured cyclists and their families, holding negligent drivers accountable and pursuing the compensation victims need to recover.

 

Compassionate Support, Aggressive Representation

 

We know how devastating a serious bicycle accident can be. While we treat every client with compassion and care, we are relentless in pursuing justice. We investigate thoroughly, confront insurance companies directly, and build strong cases designed to win.

 

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Texas

 

Most bicycle crashes are preventable and happen because drivers fail to watch for cyclists. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Drivers failing to check blind spots before changing lanes or turning
  • Vehicles making left turns across a cyclist’s path
  • Opening car doors into a rider’s path (“dooring”)
  • Distracted driving (texting, phone use, eating behind the wheel)
  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Drunk or drug-impaired driving
  • Failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections
  • Dangerous road conditions or poor signage

We gather evidence from the crash scene, police reports, and witnesses to prove liability and protect your right to full compensation.

 

Common Injuries From Bicycle Accidents

 

Without the protection of a vehicle, cyclists often suffer severe injuries in even minor crashes, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal organ damage or bleeding
  • Road rash, burns, and severe lacerations
  • Crush injuries or amputations
  • Emotional trauma and post-traumatic stress

We work closely with medical experts to fully document your injuries and their long-term effects on your health, work, and daily life.

 

What You May Be Entitled to Recover

 

If a negligent driver hit you while riding, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Bicycle and gear damage
  • Long-term care and rehabilitation costs
  • Emotional distress and diminished quality of life

We fight for the full value of your claim — not the quick, low settlement an insurance company may try to offer.

 

What to Do Immediately After a Bicycle Accident

 

Taking the right steps after a bike crash can protect your health and strengthen your legal claim. If you’re involved in one:

  1. Call 911 – Report the crash and request medical help if anyone is injured.
  2. Move to safety – Get out of traffic if you can, but remain at the scene.
  3. Get driver information – Collect the driver’s name, license, contact, and insurance details.
  4. Document the scene – Take photos of the vehicle, your bike, skid marks, road conditions, and visible injuries.
  5. Gather witnesses – If anyone saw the crash, get their names and contact information.
  6. Get medical attention – Even if you feel okay, see a doctor immediately.
  7. Contact an attorney – Bicycle claims are often disputed; having legal help early can protect your rights.

We can quickly preserve evidence, handle the insurance company, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
