Bicycle Accidents

When should bicyclists ‘take the lane’?

Most bicyclists understand that when a bike lane is not available they should ride with traffic, not against it. However, many cyclists mistakenly believe that they must always ride as far to the right as possible. David Komie, an Austin bicycle accident lawyer, believes that all road users, including cyclists, should understand their rights. Generally, cyclists riding with traffic should ride as far to the right as practicable. However, this

Assessing possible liability after a bicycle accident

Even a collision at low speed could lead to serious injuries if a cyclist was involved. Since cyclists have very little protection against an impact, they are likely to suffer broken bones or even head injuries. If you were involved in a collision with a cyclist, you should take the time to consider all factors relating to the incident before coming to a conclusion regarding which party is liable. If

How can bicyclists avoid getting hurt in a crash?

Austin is a city that’s grown in popularity among the younger generations in recent years. This has attracted many people who enjoy getting around on their bikes or feet as opposed to in their cars.

If you have been involved in an accident as a cyclist, you may want to attempt to gain back damages from the driver involved.

Is orange the best color to wear when biking?

One of the best ways to stay safe on your bike is to wear a bright color that stands out against the black and gray of the road. Maybe bikes and helmets are black, so you can really blend in if you choose the wrong apparel. This is obviously dangerous because bicycle accident injuries are often severe for the cyclist. When looking for the brightest options, many people settle on

Drive safely around bikes

Biking is seeing a renaissance: It’s healthy, ecofriendly and a fun way to get around. With Austin ranked by Bicycling.com as one of the “Best Bike Cities in America,” it’s no surprise we’re seeing more bicycles on the road than ever before. With the increase in bike traffic, it’s important that we as motorists remember to share the road safely. Though you may feel confident driving around bicycles, it’s good

Drivers, cyclists and the risk of the mild inconvenience

Drivers and cyclists have a complicated and difficult relationship. Often, the two groups really do not like each other all that much. The resentment that drivers feel for cyclists is often what leads to accidents, and it’s safe to say that cyclists get hurt in these crashes far more often than drivers. One big issue is that drivers often take offense to what is really no more than a mild
