Texas Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers all have to share the same space. In an ideal world, all 3 would be able to co-exist peacefully. Unfortunately, drivers are not always attentive and respectful to cyclists and pedestrians, and the result is bike accidents and pedestrian injuries. The experienced bicycle accident lawyers at O'Hanlon, McCollom, & Demerath are sensitive to the needs of the victims of bike accidents and pedestrian injuries.

The rules of the road are not always fair. Drivers enjoy a substantial advantage over their cyclist and pedestrian counterparts. Drivers are encased in rolling steel cages and are protected by air bags, crumple zones, and more. Drivers are also advantaged by sheer mass. Even a compact car outweighs a cyclist and pedestrian many times over, and combined with the greater velocities cars travel, cars make fearsome obstacles to cyclists and pedestrians. As such, bike accidents and pedestrian injuries are often catastrophic.

Insurance companies are also unforgiving to the victims of bike accidents and pedestrian injuries. Recent studies indicate that cycling accident victims receive less than their fair share, especially when compared with car crash victims. The attorneys at O'Hanlon, McCollom, & Demerath fight for the rights of the littlest people on the road - cyclists and pedestrians.
