Get Help After a Bicycle Accident

A bicycle accident can disrupt your life in seconds. What starts as a normal ride can quickly turn into a situation involving serious injuries, medical treatment, and uncertainty about your next steps. Cyclists often face significant harm with little protection against impact.

Founded by Humberto Tijerina, our team focuses on guiding you through the process, helping coordinate care, and handling the legal side so you can focus on healing. With our T Guarantee, You Win, or you don’t pay us.

Understanding Bicycle Accident Claims

Bicycle accident claims arise when a cyclist is harmed due to another party’s negligence. This often involves drivers who fail to yield, drive distracted, or do not safely share the road. In some cases, poor roadway conditions or equipment failures may also contribute.

These claims allow injured cyclists to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and long-term effects. Texas law recognizes cyclists as roadway users, and safety guidance from the Texas Department of Transportation helps define how drivers and cyclists must share the road.

Not Sure If You Have a Case?

Many injured cyclists are unsure whether they have a valid claim. If a driver acted carelessly, failed to yield, or was distracted, there is a strong possibility you may be entitled to compensation. Acting quickly is important.

Evidence such as traffic footage, witness statements, and accident reports may not remain available for long. Many people look for clarity before deciding what to do next after an accident.

—N.H.

Reaching out to the Tijerina Legal Group was one of the best decisions that week

Having your minor child be involved in a vehicle collision is one of the scariest moments as a parent. I’ll never forget his phone call that morning and the fear in his voice. As a parent, we strive to ensure our kids bounce back from whatever hurdles they tackle and I knew I couldn’t do this alone. Reaching out to the Tijerina Legal Group was one of the best decisions that week. My son was in pain and I knew I couldn’t handle dealing with insurance claims all on my own. From the first meeting and beyond, the staff was clear, concise and so helpful. Navigating the legal system alone would have surely overwhelmed me but I had the amazing Tijerina group standing strong on my behalf as I worked to help my son recover after his accident. I’m so thankful for the help and guidance and couldn’t be happier for my kiddo and the resolution he saw once our case was successfully closed.
