If you’re dealing with the aftermath of a bicycle accident, seeking compensation for physical injuries, emotional distress, and damage to your bicycle, it’s crucial to act swiftly. Texas law imposes strict deadlines for filing a claim following your accident. Given that constructing a robust case takes time and evidence can become less reliable, engaging with the seasoned bicycle accident attorneys at The Barber Law Firm immediately enhances your chance to secure maximum compensation. We offer free consultations, and our fee structure ensures you pay nothing until we successfully resolve your case and obtain your compensation. Don’t hesitate to reach out for a complimentary case review.
Statistics from the NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) highlight the grave reality: 783 cyclists nationwide lost their lives in 2017, with thousands more incurring serious injuries. Adherence to the same road rules that govern motor vehicles by bicyclists can diminish accident risks. Efforts like the “Share the Road” campaign further aim to foster mutual respect and awareness among drivers and cyclists, emphasizing the critical need for bicycle safety awareness on the road.
For those affected by a recent bicycle accident in Dallas, securing expert legal representation is a pivotal step towards safeguarding your future. The Barber Law Firm boasts a dedicated team of personal injury attorneys with extensive experience in bicycle accident cases, ready to advocate for your rights and guide you through the recovery process following an accident.
Texas laws afford bicyclists the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. This means bicyclists are entitled to seek compensation for injuries and damages caused by negligent drivers. Texas also has specific statutes, such as the safe passing law, requiring drivers to maintain a safe distance when overtaking bicycles. Understanding these laws can be crucial in establishing liability in a bicycle accident case.
Victims of bicycle accidents may be eligible for various forms of compensation, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage (including damage to your bicycle), pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more. In certain cases, punitive damages may also be awarded if the at-fault party’s actions were particularly reckless.
It is recommended to speak with a bicycle accident attorney before talking to any insurance company. Insurance adjusters often attempt to minimize claims or elicit statements that could undermine your case. An attorney can handle communications with insurance companies on your behalf, ensuring your rights are protected.
If you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may still have options for recovery through your own insurance policy if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. The Barber Law Firm can help you understand your policy and pursue the compensation you’re entitled to.

Here are some of the steps your attorney team will take on your case:
Step 1: Accident Investigation
The first action The Barber Law Firm takes on your behalf is a thorough investigation of your bicycle accident. Our legal team will gather essential documents such as the police report, analyze any available photos or videos of the accident scene, and interview relevant witnesses. This foundational step allows us to establish liability and commence the construction of your injury claim with solid footing.
Step 2: Constructing Your Claim
Crafting your bicycle accident injury claim is a detailed process that requires patience and precision. Our team waits until you have fully completed your medical treatments to ensure we have a complete medical record that reflects the extent of the injuries you sustained. This comprehensive compilation of your medical history post-accident is crucial for substantiating your claim.
Step 3: Settlement Negotiations
After your treatment concludes and all medical documentation is in order, your attorney at The Barber Law Firm will prepare and submit a demand package to the insurance company of the responsible party. This initiates the negotiation phase, where your attorney will advocate for a fair settlement on your behalf. Should the insurance company offer an unsatisfactory settlement, you are empowered to move forward with litigation.
Step 4: Proceeding to Litigation
Engaging in litigation can significantly extend the duration of your claim process, sometimes by one to two years. Choosing to file a lawsuit means you should be prepared for the possibility of presenting your case in court before a judge and jury. The Barber Law Firm is committed to providing you with robust representation throughout this phase, ensuring you are well-prepared and supported every step of the way.
