Bicycling is an excellent form of exercise as well as a cost-effective means of transportation in Houston. Unfortunately, cyclists are not well catered for by urban design – motor vehicles and big trucks occupy most roads and bicyclists are provided with inadequate bike lanes. Moreover, many motorists do not recognize their obligation to share the roads with bicycle riders. In addition, those sitting in cars parked at the side of the road likely won’t bother to check if any cyclists are coming before they open their doors. Cyclists also face heightened danger while stopped at intersections due to being hard to spot by drivers; adding to that, left-turn accidents often occur when a motorist is waiting to turn.
If a bicyclist suffers a head injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, or other serious injuries in an accident caused by the negligence of another driver, they may be able to file a personal injury claim with a Texas bike accident attorney.
