Personal Injury
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accident Attorney In Dallas
Dedicated advocacy for cyclists and pedestrians injured by negligent drivers in the Dallas area
Bicyclists and pedestrians are among the most vulnerable people on the road. Without the protection of a vehicle, they face a far greater risk of serious injury or death when struck by a car, truck, or other motor vehicle. When a negligent driver causes such a collision, the consequences can be devastating — broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or worse.
At The Wooley Law Firm, PLLC, Andrew Wooley fights for the rights of injured cyclists and pedestrians throughout the Dallas area. He will thoroughly investigate your accident, identify all liable parties, and work to secure the full compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses.
Common Types of Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents happen in a variety of ways, each presenting its own legal challenges when it comes to establishing fault and recovering compensation.
Intersection Collisions
Accidents at intersections where drivers fail to yield, run red lights, or make turns without checking for pedestrians and cyclists.
Dooring Accidents
Occur when a parked vehicle occupant opens their door into the path of an oncoming cyclist.
Crosswalk Accidents
Pedestrians struck while lawfully crossing in marked or unmarked crosswalks, often due to distracted or speeding drivers.
Sidewalk and Path Accidents
Cyclists or pedestrians injured due to poorly maintained sidewalks, bike paths, or shared-use trails.
Proving liability in these cases requires a thorough investigation — gathering police reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, and physical evidence from the scene. Mr. Wooley has the experience and resources to build a compelling case on your behalf.
