Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents in Austin, Texas

Austin, Texas has earned the title of being one of the fittest cities. That means there are more pedestrians and cyclists on the streets of Austin. If you are driving a car in Austin, you must be more aware of the many people walking, jogging and cycling in and around town. Unfortunately, the number of pedestrians and cyclists being injured and even killed in Austin continues to grow.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a pedestrian or a cyclist there are several things you should be aware of:

1. if you are hit by a car or truck and you are a pedestrian or cyclist you may be able to recover under your own auto insurance as well as under the insurance of the driver who caused the accident;
2. you may be entitled to personal injury protection or medical payment coverage;
3. you need to make sure you are receiving the proper medical treatment.

Unfortunately, when a pedestrian or cyclist is hit by a car, the injuries to the pedestrian or cyclist are often severe and sometimes catastophic. At Gonzales & Gonzales, we work with a number of medical professionals to ensure that you have the proper specialist or medical doctor examining and treating you. Brain injuries can often result in these types of accidents. Making sure that the injured person receives proper evaluation, including evaluation by a neurologist, is imperative. Experienced accident lawyers can send letters of protection or even letters of guarantee to make sure that you receive the proper treatment without having to pay out of your own pocket. Insurance companies will often not pay until all treatment has been completed. Therefore, the injured person often fails to seek proper treatment as medical treatment can become too expensive. Don’t let the cost of medical treatment keep you from getting the type of medical treatment you require and deserve. Contact accident attorneys who truly understand what you are going through.
