If you were struck while riding through Las Colinas or along Story Road, Irving bicycle accident lawyer Patrick Carew is ready to guide you toward physical and financial recovery. We know the shock of a collision can upend every part of your life, and our first priority is to shoulder the legal burden so you can heal.
In 2023 Texas recorded 2,604 bicycle crashes and 106 cyclist deaths, while Irving alone saw more than 2,000 intersection collisions on corridors such as SH 183, Loop 12, and Belt Line Road, clear proof that local riders face real danger every day.

Liability for a bicycle crash rests on the legal concept of negligence. A driver who texts at a red light on Airport Freeway, a rideshare operator speeding through Valley Ranch, or a delivery truck door flung open on MacArthur Boulevard may all breach the duty to keep cyclists safe. Other defendants can include distracted pedestrians, vehicle owners who lend a car to an unsafe driver, or manufacturers that release defective brakes or carbon forks.
Government entities such as the City of Irving or TxDOT can also face claims when potholes, missing signs, or malfunctioning signals trigger a wreck. Irving bike injury attorney Monica Bohuslav and our litigation team collect police reports, video footage, and expert analyses to prove each link in the chain of fault.
Clear, quick steps protect both your health and your future claim.
Every action above strengthens the foundation of your claim.
Texas law sets a strict two-year statute of limitations under §16.003 of the Civil Practice & Remedies Code. Missing that deadline forfeits your right to compensation, and notice rules for city or state defendants can shrink the timeline to mere months. Irving bicycle accident lawyer Patrick Carew files suits promptly and tracks every procedural date so you never lose your case on a technicality.
Texas permits recovery of economic and non-economic damages. Medical bills, rehabilitation, future surgeries, lost wages, reduced earning ability, and bike replacement costs form the economic side. Pain, emotional distress, scarring, and loss of enjoyment of cycling belong to the non-economic side.
If a drunk driver’s conduct was outrageously dangerous, a jury may also award punitive damages. Our Irving bike-crash attorneys hire economists and medical experts to calculate the full, lifelong value of your losses.
Texas does not require helmets for adult cyclists, and the absence of a helmet rarely bars recovery. The state’s 51% modified comparative-fault rule only reduces damages by your share of responsibility when it is under 51 percent; you lose all recovery only if you are mostly to blame. Honest conversations with Irving bicycle accident attorney Sarah Garcia help us counter insurer arguments and protect the value of your case even when you may share a small portion of fault.
Poorly lit underpasses, potholes on Northgate Drive, or debris left after construction can all lead to viable claims against a city, county, or contractor. These matters fall under the Texas Tort Claims Act, which demands rapid notice, sometimes within six months. Collisions with autonomous vehicles add product-liability and software-malfunction theories to the mix. Our Irving cycling accident lawyers have the technical resources to untangle complex engineering issues and pursue every liable party, from municipal agencies to multinational manufacturers.
Admitting fault at the scene, skipping follow-up medical appointments, or signing an insurer’s quick-pay release each jeopardize your claim. Informal remarks like “I’m fine” or “I might have been going too fast” can be twisted into admissions. Irving bicycle collision attorney David Bohuslav handles all insurer communication so you can focus on recovery without risking self-inflicted damage to your case.
Serious injury claims involve expert testimony, medical projections, and sometimes courtroom trials. Lawyers who handle these matters daily know how to secure traffic camera footage before it is overwritten, cross-examine biomechanical experts, and present vivid evidence to juries. Our Irving bicycle accident attorneys negotiate with carriers that routinely undervalue cyclist injuries, and we prepare every file for trial so insurers know low offers will not stand.
We represent bicyclists on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and no attorney’s fee at all unless we obtain a settlement or verdict for you. Initial consultations are free, confidential, and carry no obligation, so financial worries should never stop you from learning your rights.
