Who Is Liable for a Bicycle Accident?
After a bicycle accident, establishing fault is one of the most challenging aspects of negotiating a settlement or litigating a fair civil award. However, it is also a crucial element of your claim.
Drivers owe you and others present duty of care, meaning they must obey all traffic laws and drive with care to avoid causing collisions with other motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. When they breach this duty, and you are injured or your loved one tragically passes away as a result, you have a right to legal recourse.
However, many motorists deny their involvement or even try to place some of the blame on you. Do not let this happen. If the insurance adjuster and/or court finds you more than 50% at fault for the incident, you cannot file a claim or recover compensation for your damages. Even if you are found less than 50% to blame, the amount you can recover in damages will be adversely affected by your percentage of fault.
At The Law Offices of Omar Khawaja, PLLC, our attorneys can fight back against the driver or insurance company’s efforts to dispute your claim and help you seek fair compensation from the liable party. This may include one or more of the following:
- The driver who hit you
- The driver’s insurance company
- A city, county, or state government
- Your insurance company
- Other third-parties involved
In rare cases, a bicycle manufacturer, retailer, or distributor is at fault, which means that you could also hold them responsible if they contributed to your or your family member’s accident.
Damages Available in Bicycle Accident Claims
Bicycle accidents can cause severe injuries that permanently affect victims’ lives, as well as the lives of their family members and loved ones. This often leads to immense physical pain, emotional suffering, and financial loss. By filing a personal injury claim after a bicycle accident, you can seek fair financial compensation for these damages.
Depending on the specific details of your case, we may be able to help you recover the following types of damages after a bike accident:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income and decreased future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Loss of consortium and loss of services
- Emotional distress

How Long Do You Have to File a Bike Accident Lawsuit in Texas?
Texas, like other states, has a statute of limitations that applies to your injury case. If you were harmed after a bicycle accident or your family member lost his or her life, you have up to two years from the date of injury or death to file a claim. If you miss this deadline, you no longer have a legal right to file a claim—with very few exceptions.
The sooner you act, the sooner our Houston bicycle accident lawyers can help you get the coverage you need through the available legal channels. We will also have additional time to investigate the cause of your accident and package a settlement demand without a deadline looming over your head. We encourage you to reach out to our team right away to schedule a no-cost, no-obligation consultation.
