Your bicycle, helmet, lights, and damaged gear could become important evidence after a crash. 🚲 Repairing or throwing them away too soon may eliminate details that help show how the collision happened.
After a bicycle accident, get medical care, report the collision, photograph the roadway and damage, and collect witness information when circumstances allow. 📸 Save original photos, video, electronic ride data, medical bills, wage records, and insurance letters.
Texas also uses shared fault rules. If a rider is found more than 50 percent responsible, they generally cannot recover damages. A rider assigned 20 percent responsibility may generally have a recoverable amount reduced by 20 percent. ⚖️ Objective evidence can be critical when fault is disputed.
Texas generally allows two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, but some claims can have different deadlines or earlier notice requirements. Zendeh Del & Associates PLLC helps injured riders in Galveston evaluate evidence, insurance coverage, fault allegations, and filing deadlines. Evidence can disappear much sooner than a legal deadline, including overwritten surveillance footage. 🔎
