Skilled and Assertive Dallas Bicycle Accident Lawyer Ready to Protect Your Rights

Distracted driving, such as using phones, radio/tuning, is one of the main causes of bicycle crashes in the city, where the drivers do not recognize the presence of a cyclist till it is too late and the accident has happened.

At high speed, the driver has a shorter time to respond to the cyclists, particularly in residential areas or in narrow lanes. Bicyclists are exposed to devastating post-crash effects when hit at high speed.

Intersections are usually the most dangerous place for a cyclist. Numerous accidents occur when drivers disregard traffic regulations and fail to provide cyclists with the right of way, resulting in a harmful side hit or head-on collision.

Ignoring stop signs or red lights is not only against the law but deadly to cyclists. Such infractions usually end up as a T-bone or head-on collision without much time left over before one of them can respond.

A lot of drivers make turns without looking behind them, or do so with the last-minute signals that endanger surrounding cyclists. Such sharp turns result in crashes involving cyclists on city roads.

Cyclists are at risk of intoxicated or violent motorists. Due to poor reaction time, impaired judgment and recklessness, many cyclists meet with tragic and unpreventable accidents, resulting in life-threatening injuries. Even safety gear only offers limited protection.
