Injured in a cycling accident in Houston? Leatherwood Law is ready
to roll with your case.
Cyclists deserve the same respect and protection as any other road
user. But in Houston, many drivers fail to yield, pass too
closely, or simply don’t see the bike until it’s too late. If
you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, we’re here to help you
hold the negligent driver accountable.
At Leatherwood Law, we represent cyclists hit by cars, trucks, or
commercial vehicles throughout the Houston area. We understand the
unique mechanics of bicycle crash cases—and how to fight back when
insurance companies try to shift the blame onto the rider.
You focus on your recovery. We’ll focus on getting justice and
compensation.

Bicycle Accident FAQs
What should I do after a bicycle accident in Houston?
Get medical care first, report the crash, document the scene, gather witness details, and avoid recorded statements with insurers until you understand your rights.
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Texas?
Most Texas personal injury claims have a two-year deadline, but exceptions exist. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault?
Often, yes. Texas uses proportionate responsibility rules. Your recovery may be reduced, but partial fault does not automatically prevent compensation.
