Why Bicycle Accident Victims Choose Us
Patterson Law Group Fights for Injured Cyclists
Cyclists face unique dangers on Texas roads — drivers who don’t check blind spots, doors opening into bike lanes, and right hooks at intersections. When a driver’s negligence leaves you injured, we know how to build cases that get results for cyclists.

Small Caseloads, Big Results
We limit the number of cases we take so we can devote the time and resources needed to build the strongest possible claim and secure maximum compensation for our clients.
Direct Attorney Access
You won't be handed off to a call center or chain of assistants. From day one, you'll have direct access to an attorney who is actively involved in your case.
Fighting Cyclist Bias
Just like with motorcycles, insurance companies often try to blame the cyclist. We counter this bias with thorough accident reconstruction and evidence that proves the driver's negligence.
Know the Risks
Why Bicycle Accidents Are So Dangerous
Cyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. Even a low-speed collision with a vehicle can result in life-changing injuries.
Zero Protection from Impact
Cyclists have no steel frame, airbags, or crumple zones. A collision with a 4,000-pound vehicle at even moderate speed can cause catastrophic injuries.
Drivers Who Don't Look
Distracted driving, failure to check mirrors, and disregard for bike lanes are the leading causes of bicycle accidents. Drivers often claim they never saw the cyclist.
Dangerous Road Design
Many Texas roads lack proper bike lanes, have poorly maintained shoulders, and feature intersections designed without cyclist safety in mind.
Insurance Company Tactics
Adjusters routinely argue the cyclist was at fault — riding too far from the curb, not wearing a helmet, or running a stop sign — to reduce or deny claims.
Proven Results
Millions Recovered for Accident Victims
We have a track record of securing significant settlements for victims of serious vehicle collisions across Texas.

Serious Injuries
Common Injuries in Bicycle Accidents
Because cyclists lack any protective barrier, collisions with vehicles frequently result in severe, life-altering injuries.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Even with a helmet, the impact can cause concussions, skull fractures, and severe brain trauma.
Spinal Cord Injuries
The force of being thrown from a bicycle can cause spinal fractures and nerve damage, potentially resulting in paralysis.
Road Rash & Skin Grafts
Sliding across pavement causes severe abrasion injuries that can require multiple surgeries and skin grafts.
Broken Bones & Fractures
Arms, legs, collarbones, wrists, and ribs are extremely vulnerable. Compound fractures may require surgical repair.
Internal Organ Damage
The blunt force of impact can rupture organs and cause internal bleeding requiring emergency surgery.
Wrongful Death
When a bicycle accident takes a life, we help families pursue justice and full compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bicycle Accident FAQ
What should I do after a bicycle accident?
Seek medical attention immediately. Document the scene with photos, get the driver’s information and witness contacts. Do not give recorded statements to their insurance company. Contact an experienced bicycle accident attorney as soon as possible.
Can I still recover if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Yes. Texas does not require adult cyclists to wear helmets. Not wearing a helmet does not make the accident your fault. However, insurance companies may try to use it against you, which is why you need an attorney to protect your rights.
How much does it cost to hire Patterson Law Group?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is completely free with no obligation.
What if the driver says they didn't see me?
This is one of the most common excuses. Drivers have a legal duty to watch for cyclists. We use accident reconstruction, witness testimony, traffic camera footage, and other evidence to prove the driver’s negligence.
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Texas?
The statute of limitations is generally two years. But evidence disappears quickly — witness memories fade, surveillance footage gets deleted. Contact an attorney as soon as possible.
They Chose Not to Look. You're Paying the Price.
Don’t let a negligent driver’s carelessness define your future. Let our family help your family.
At Patterson Law Group, we understand how catastrophic and disruptive accidents are. Since 1995, our family-owned firm has been dedicated solely to personal injury law, fighting for the rights of injured Texans and their families.
