A Bicycle Accident Attorney Who Fights for Your Rights
After nearly two decades fighting personal injury cases in Austin, Ashley Applewhite knows how devastating a bicycle accident can be. Injured cyclists face severe injuries, extensive medical treatment, lost income, and an uphill battle with the insurance company.
You deserve a personal injury lawyer who will listen to your story, investigate every detail, and fight for the full financial compensation you need to move forward.
Common Causes of Austin's Bicycle Accidents
Cycling accidents happen every day across Austin, often when drivers fail to share the road safely. Dedicated bike lanes help, but negligent drivers, distracted driving, and car doors opening into cyclists’ paths still cause devastating wrecks.
When a bike accident occurs, the results can be catastrophic. Common causes of Austin bicycle accidents include:
- Driver negligence: Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield.
- Car door accidents: Drivers opening doors into dedicated bike lanes.
- Failure to follow traffic laws: Ignoring cyclists’ right-of-way.
- Unsafe road conditions: Poorly maintained bike lanes.
As a committed Austin bicycle accident attorney, Ashley Applewhite works to hold negligent drivers accountable when they ignore their legal duty to protect cyclists.
Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicycle accident victims often suffer physical injuries that require significant medical treatment and long recoveries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries requiring surgery
- Severe road rash and scarring
We work closely with medical professionals and accident reconstruction specialists to fully document the extent of your injuries and fight for fair compensation.
What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Austin
If you've been injured in a bicycle accident:
- Seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine.
- Call the police and obtain police reports for documentation.
- Gather evidence by taking photos of the accident scene, your bike, and visible injuries.
- Document your injuries and your medical treatment.
- Contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters.
Insurance companies will try to protect their bottom line, not your future. An experienced personal injury lawyer like Ashley Applewhite has seen their tactics firsthand and knows how to challenge them.
