Riding a bicycle around town provides exercise, convenience, and a sense of freedom, especially as it helps avoid traffic. However, in the unfortunate event of an accident, cyclists can suffer serious injuries, leading to big medical bills and weeks of recovery away from work.
Cain Firm’s personal injury lawyers in Granbury have been helping injured Texans recover compensation for negligence accidents for nearly 20 years. We understand that a legal case can be overwhelming, especially if this is the first time you’ve had to consider hiring a lawyer.
We know Texas law and will use our decades of legal experience to seek your financial award from those responsible for the crash. Call us today for a free consultation and learn how our Granbury bicycle accident attorneys can lead your case.
Our Granbury Bicycle Crash Lawyers Will Handle the Insurer for You
The compensation you recover from the liable party will likely involve their insurance company, which may not want to pay your claim. This is not uncommon. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts—if they pay them at all.
We know how insurance companies operate, so we are not afraid to take them on. We have recovered millions after insurance would not pay our clients. We will handle all negotiations with the insurer, advocating for the compensation you deserve.
If an Insurance Company Has Called You, You Should Call Us Next
If an insurance company has contacted you, we strongly urge you to talk to us first. We can represent you and handle your case from there.
It is common for insurers to offer accident victims compensation that looks generous at first glance but is often far less than what is needed to cover their damages. Do not verbally agree to anything or sign any settlement paperwork until you talk to an attorney.
We will advocate for your full recovery from the start. If we cannot settle your case, we can file a lawsuit and seek financial recovery in court. Call us today to explore your legal options during a free consultation.
To recover what you have lost you are going to need the help of an experienced car crash attorney.
We Will Lead Your Case While You Recover From the Crash
The aftermath of a bicycle accident can be overwhelming, and it can be especially difficult to seek financial recovery when you must treat your injuries. We can build your case while you focus on your recovery.
Our bicycle collision lawyers in Granbury will do the following:
- Investigate the accident and collect evidence: We will determine what caused the accident and gather case-supporting evidence as we build your case.
- Identify all liable parties: We will identify everyone responsible for your damages, including other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, bicycle manufacturers, and government entities.
- Prove how the liable parties were negligent: We will use the evidence to show how the liable party legally owed you a duty of care, failed to keep that duty, directly caused the accident, and left you with compensatory damages.
- Assess your damages: We will consider the economic and non-economic costs of your injuries and losses and pursue the appropriate award.
- File your case on time: We will ensure we file your lawsuit on time and within the state’s statute of limitations deadline.
Your case and its circumstances are unique, so we will develop a case strategy that takes all your needs into consideration. We will also tell you what to expect as we work on your case and update you on its progress.
We stand ready to protect your rights, prove fault, and collect maximum tax-free payment for your injury claims.

How Long Do You Have to Seek Damages After a Bicycle Crash?
Under Texas law, you generally have two years from the date of the bicycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. In wrongful death cases, this two-year deadline starts on the decedent’s death date.
Certain exceptions can make the statute of limitations deadline longer or shorter, but generally, you should expect these deadlines to apply to your case. We encourage you to connect with our firm as soon as possible so we can advise you on how much time you have left.
While two years might seem like a long time, it can go quickly. If you miss the deadline, the civil court won’t allow you to move forward with your case. Our TEAM will file your lawsuit on time if we handle your case.
We proudly stand up to big insurance companies that prioritize profit over people‘s well-being.
