Taking the right steps immediately after a bicycle crash protects your health and preserves evidence for a potential claim.
Immediately
Report the crash to police and request medical assistance for any injuries, even if they seem minor at first.
Do NOT leave the scene before police arrive
Within Minutes
Photograph your bicycle damage, road conditions, vehicle positions, skid marks, traffic signals, and all visible injuries before anything moves.
Within Minutes
Obtain the driver's name, license number, insurance details, vehicle registration, and contact information from all witnesses present.
Do NOT admit fault or apologize
Within 24 Hours
Visit an emergency room or physician for a full examination because bicycle crash injuries often worsen over hours.
Do NOT delay treatment hoping pain will resolve
Within 48 Hours
Store the damaged bicycle frame, helmet, and gear without repairs because they serve as critical physical evidence.
Do NOT repair or discard the bicycle before consulting an attorney
Within 48 Hours
Decline to give recorded statements or sign medical releases for the driver's insurance company without legal counsel present.
Do NOT sign any settlement releases
Within 10 Days
Consult a bicycle accident attorney to evaluate your claim and protect your rights under Texas traffic laws.
Within 2 Years
File your personal injury lawsuit before the two-year statute of limitations expires from your accident date.
Missing the deadline permanently bars your claim
Tort law governs bicycle accident claims in Houston by requiring injured cyclists to establish that a negligent driver owed them a duty of care and breached it. Texas applies modified comparative fault under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001, so a cyclist can still recover damages even if partially at fault, provided their share of responsibility does not exceed 50%. Compensation may include medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering, with fault allocation determined by the specific circumstances of the collision.
Texas law allows injured victims to recover economic, non-economic, and in rare cases punitive damages after a bicycle accident. Ben Dominguez pursues every category the evidence supports, backed by medical records, wage documentation, and expert testimony when long-term care is involved.
Emergency room care, hospital stays, surgeries, imaging, physical therapy, and future treatment costs documented by treating physicians.
Income lost during recovery plus diminished future earning capacity when injuries prevent returning to the same work.
Non-economic damages for physical pain, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life proven through treatment records and personal testimony.
Replacement cost of the bicycle, helmet, cycling computer, and other gear destroyed in the crash, valued at current market prices.
Compensation for scars, amputations, and lasting physical changes that alter appearance or function.
Damages claimed by a spouse for loss of companionship, household services, and marital intimacy caused by the injury.
Awarded when the defendant acted with gross negligence or intentional misconduct, governed by Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.001.
A bicycle accident lawyer handles every phase of your claim so you can focus on recovery. Learn what an attorney does from the initial investigation through final settlement or verdict.
Initial consultation to review the crash facts, assess liability, and explain your legal options with no upfront cost.
On-site documentation, photograph collection, witness interviews, and preservation of surveillance or dashcam footage before it is deleted.
Ordering the official Texas Peace Officer Crash Report (Form CR-3), 911 recordings, and supporting records that establish the at-fault driver.
Obtaining complete treatment records, working with physicians to document the injury, and arranging future care projections from specialists.
Handling all communication with the at-fault insurer, countering lowball offers, and protecting the client from recorded statements.
Filing suit when negotiations stall, taking depositions, retaining reconstruction experts, and presenting the case to a Harris County jury.
Negotiating health-insurer subrogation claims, hospital liens, and Medicare set-asides so the client keeps the maximum net recovery.
