Common Bicycle Accident Causes in San Antonio
Accidents often happen because of driver negligence or reckless behavior:
-
Speeding in areas with bike traffic
-
Failure to yield to cyclists
-
Improper turns or missing signals
-
Distracted driving (phones, GPS, or daydreaming)
-
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Bicycle accidents can include rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, sideswipes, or rollovers. Even seemingly minor accidents can result in broken bones, road rash, spinal injuries, or concussions.
Bicycle Accident Injuries
Cyclists are vulnerable, and injuries can be serious:
-
Traumatic brain injuries
-
Road rash and soft tissue injuries
-
Broken bones (ribs, arms, legs)
-
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
-
Mouth, teeth, or jaw injuries
-
Long-term disability
If you’ve been hurt, our lawyers will handle the legal side while you focus on recovery.
Accidents in Parking Lots & Commercial Properties
Not all bicycle accidents happen on the street. Parking lots, garages, and commercial driveways can be dangerous too.
Common situations include:
-
Cars backing out without checking for cyclists
-
Delivery trucks blocking bike lanes
-
Cyclists hit while entering or leaving commercial property
Property owners or negligent drivers may be responsible if they fail to keep areas safe. Even off the public road, you may be entitled to compensation.
Dooring & Vehicle Interaction Accidents
“Dooring” accidents happen when a parked car opens a door into a cyclist in a bike lane. These accidents are legally recognized in Texas.
Examples:
-
Car door opened into a designated bike lane
-
Driver fails to check mirrors before opening
-
Cyclist strikes door or swerves into traffic
Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

Real-World Bicycle Accidents Can Be Unexpected

Even short rides through familiar neighborhoods can lead to serious injuries. At DJC Law, we understand how stressful and frustrating these accidents can be. You shouldn’t have to face medical bills, lost income, or long-term pain alone. Our San Antonio bicycle accident attorneys are here to guide you, fight for your rights, and help you get the compensation you deserve—no matter how unusual the accident.
