Dallas Bicycle Accident Lawyer

A sudden crash on a Dallas street can turn your life upside down. Medical care, time off work, and the stress of calls from insurers can drain your energy fast. Galvan Law Group helps riders protect their rights and move forward with a clear plan. Led by attorney Sabrina Galvan, a former insurance defense lawyer who now stands up for injured Texans, we focus on building strong claims and fighting for fair results.

Legal Aspects of Dallas Bicycle Accident Claims

Texas law treats cyclists like other drivers on the road, meaning you have the same rights to use traffic lanes and the same duties to follow traffic rules. To recover money, your claim must show that another party acted carelessly and that their conduct caused your injuries. Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule, so you can still recover compensation if your share of fault for the accident is under 51 percent.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for most injury lawsuits is two years from the date of the crash. Failing to file a lawsuit within that deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation even if the evidence supports your claim. Early action helps preserve evidence and protects your position with insurers.

If you have questions about your rights under Texas law, we can walk you through each step and explain how the rules apply to your case.

How Galvan Law Group Supports Bicycle Accident Victims

We handle the legal work so that you can focus on healing. Our approach blends careful investigation with firm pressure on insurers. Sabrina Galvan founded Galvan Law Group in 2024 after years on both sides of injury cases, and her experience allows her to combat and defeat defense tactics and obtain the maximum compensation for her clients.

Comprehensive Case Evaluation

We dig into the facts, study the police report, collect medical records, and contact witnesses. Our team helps you track every loss, from ER bills to follow-up care, missed paychecks, and repair costs for your bike and gear.

Determined Legal Representation

Sabrina once defended insurers, so she knows the playbook and how adjusters try to discount a claim. We handle all calls and correspondence with the insurance company and push back on recorded statements or quick, low offers.

Pursuing Maximum Compensation

The value of your case is based on real losses and the lasting impact on your life. We make sure to push for full, fair compensation. We prepare every claim as if it were to be presented to a jury, so we are always ready to stand up for you in court.

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries

Bike crashes often lead to more than scrapes. Even with a helmet, riders can suffer head and spine trauma, along with broken bones and painful soft tissue injuries. Quick medical care helps your health and creates a solid record linking the crash to the harm.

• Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries.
• Spinal cord injuries can cause paralysis or long-term pain.
• Broken bones and fractures that sometimes need surgery and rehab.
• Road rash and deep cuts that can scar or require skin grafts.
• Internal injuries that are not obvious at first but can be serious.
• Soft tissue damage, such as sprains, strains, and whiplash.

Tell your doctor about every symptom, even if it feels minor, and follow the treatment plan closely.

Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Dallas

Many crashes trace back to driver choices or unsafe road conditions. Proving what happened and why can make or break a case. Our team looks for traffic camera footage, dashcam footage, and nearby business video to support your account.

• Driver negligence includes speeding, distraction, and failing to yield.
• Impaired driving from alcohol or drugs.
• Dooring, which is a driver opening a door into a rider’s path.
• Poor road conditions, including potholes, debris, and missing or faded bike lanes.
• Aggressive or reckless driving behaviors.

If a city agency or a contractor played a role, we assess notice rules and any shorter time limits that could apply.

Compensation for Bicycle Accident Injuries

Your recovery should match both the immediate fallout and the long-term effects. We work to document every cost and the human side of the injury, including pain, worry, and changes at home or work. Strong proof helps the value of your case and keeps pressure on the insurer to pay fairly.

• Medical expenses for ER visits, hospitalization, surgery, therapy, and future care.
• Lost wages and job benefits during recovery.
• Pain and suffering for physical pain and emotional distress.
• Property damage to your bike, helmet, and other gear.
• Loss of earning capacity if lasting injuries limit your career.

Sabrina is licensed across Texas courts and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and has been named a Texas Super Lawyers Rising Star from 2021 to 2025.
