Bicycle Accident Lawyers in Pasadena, TX

How We Help You Recover Financially After a Bike Accident

Nobody heads out on their bicycle in Texas expecting to be hit by a car, but it can happen when you least expect it. When it does, you need an experienced Pasadena bicycle accident attorney on your side.

If you live in one of the several Texas cities recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists, you might assume you're safe on two wheels. Houston, which borders Pasadena, currently holds Bronze-level status in that program. Despite that recognition, collisions between cars and bicycles remain common throughout the greater Houston and Pasadena area.

Below, our Pasadena bicycle accident attorneys explain how these accidents happen, the injuries that often result, and how working with a personal injury lawyer can help you recover the damages you're owed.

    Why Bicycle Accidents Happen

    Negligent drivers cause bike crashes in several ways. According to TxDOT's Bicycle Safety Campaign, the leading contributing factors in Texas bicycle crashes are driver inattention, failure to yield the right of way, and speeding. 

    Some of the most common causes we see include:

    • Speeding
    • Distracted driving
    • Fatigued driving
    • Failing to check blind spots
    • Disobeying traffic laws
    • Intoxication

    Sometimes it's unclear who or what caused the accident. If you're hit by a car while on your bike, get a medical examination right away, then contact our bicycle accident attorneys to investigate. It's never too early to protect yourself in case you need to pursue compensation from the negligent driver.

    Injuries That Can Occur in a Car & Bike Accident

    Bicycle crashes are rarely minor. In 2024 alone, TxDOT's Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Facts report recorded 78 bicyclist deaths statewide, and TxDOT's Bicycle Safety Campaign reported hundreds of additional serious injuries from crashes involving bicycles that same year. Since a car is significantly bigger and more powerful than a bicycle, the bike rider will almost always come away injured, sometimes seriously. 

    Common bicyclist injuries include:

    Even if you think your injury is minor, it's still important to see a doctor. Many injuries go unseen or progress over time, and a documented medical exam will help strengthen your case.

    Meet the Team Behind Every Case

    From intake to trial, every person on this team plays a part in getting you the outcome you deserve.

    Behind every case file is a full team working on your behalf: case managers, paralegals, and support staff who answer your calls, track down your records, and keep you in the loop every step of the way. We built this firm to feel less like a law office and more like a neighbor you can count on. That starts with hiring people who care, and it shows in how we treat every client who walks through our door.

      What a great experience!!! I could not speak more highly of Chris Soileau.
      “Right from the beginning, we felt like we had a champion in our corner. His entire staff was great to work with, and Chris never stopped fighting for us. He made the entire process a breeze to work through, and when he took on the responsibility of dealing with the doctor's bill and insurance it freed my wife and I up to concentrate on our healing process. Thanks, Chris Soileau for doing such a fantastic job. The big check at the end was pretty nice too!”
      - Joey J.
      I felt it wasn't about the money he was making but the concern for me and my son's loss.
      “I knew few attorneys a couple years back when I needed one to represent me in a case involving an accident with my wife. I was introduced to Mr. Soileau one evening while I was out playing golf. He sat down and took time out his golf game and listened to my predicament I was facing. Afterward, by the way, he handled everything so professionally I hired him and his firm to represent me, hoping we'd settle without it going to court. Needless to say we settled out of court within a year and I was well satisfied with the settlement. Thanks again to Chris Soileau. I'd recommend them to anyone needing a great down to earth attorney, who has a family and wants to know you personally.”
      - Paul R.
      Within a few months of taking my case he forced the insurance company to pay $50,000.
      “After getting several denials for a medical payments claim I made due to an automobile accident, I contacted Chris Soileau. Mr. Soileau reviewed my file and determined the insurance company acted in bad faith. I highly recommend using this firm if you are having trouble with your insurance company.”
      - M.M.
      Mr. Soileau was unfazed by the trucking company’s denials.
      “I was hit by an 18 Wheeler driving through an intersection and the truck driver denied running the red light. There were no witnesses and we had no way to pay for medical bills. He immediately filed suit and settled our case for a substantial amount of money.”
      - A.Z.
      They are committed to going above and beyond.
      “The attorneys at SJ Injury Attorneys understand that their reputation is built on the trust they earn from their clients. They approach every case with genuine care, attention, and a dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for each client.”
      - Renee H.
      Within no time, Chris and his staff settled my case.
      “A couple of months ago I was in a car accident. High property damage, but the insurance was not cooperating with me. I hired Chris Soileau to take over. Highly recommend!”
      - Past Client
      I would not hesitate to use Chris Soileau again.
      “My car was hit by a guy who was racing down the highway. The impact forced my vehicle into a retaining wall. At the time I was between jobs and Mr. Soileau helped me find medical care. Ultimately, Chris obtained a great settlement for my case.”
      - S.J.
      We’re extremely pleased with the outcome.
      “Highly recommend! The firm was so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process.”
      - Past Client
      They took it to court and fought for me. Would highly recommend!!
      “Awesome Law firm!! Brenda was amazing in helping manage my case and if for some reason she wasn't available, Chris or Dawn was immediately there to help me. I see some complaints on here about not returning phone calls? I never had an issue. Sometimes I would have to leave a message, but they always got back to me with updates. My case took a while but totally worth the wait because they never just took whatever was offered.”
      - Amy G.
