Why Choose Kelley Wolff Law for Your Negligent Driver Case?
At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we have a proven track record of securing results for cyclists injured due to careless or reckless drivers. We handle a wide variety of negligence-related bicycle accident cases, including:
-
Driver Negligence – Many bicycle accidents in Austin happen when drivers disregard cyclists’ right-of-way, especially at crosswalks and intersections.
-
Dooring Accidents – In high-traffic urban areas, drivers or passengers may open car doors without checking for cyclists, causing sudden and dangerous collisions.
-
Intersection Collisions – A significant number of serious bike accidents occur at intersections when inattentive or aggressive drivers ignore traffic signals or fail to notice cyclists.
-
Hit-and-Run Incidents – If a driver leaves the scene, we help victims file uninsured or underinsured motorist claims and pursue every available legal option for recovery.
-
Road Hazards and Poor Infrastructure – When drivers fail to adjust for road hazards, poor weather, or narrow lanes shared with cyclists, their negligence can lead to devastating accidents.
-
Drunk or Distracted Drivers – We pursue full accountability for drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or those texting, eating, or otherwise distracted at the time of the crash.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Your Top Questions Answered After a Driver Negligence Bicycle Accidents
Injured in a crash? Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys is here to answer your most pressing driver negligence cycling accident questions—from dealing with insurance to knowing when to hire a lawyer.
Can I Sue if the Driver Didn’t Have Insurance?
Yes. If the driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own UM/UIM coverage may step in. Our team can review all insurance options to help secure your recovery.
What if the Driver Blames Me for the Accident?
Texas follows modified comparative fault rules. Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover compensation—just not if you’re found more than 50% responsible.
How Long Do I Have to Sue a Negligent Driver in Texas?
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Starting early gives your attorney more time to build a strong case while evidence is still fresh.
Should I Get a Lawyer if I Think the Driver Was at Fault?
Yes. Proving negligence isn’t always straightforward. An attorney can collect evidence, speak to witnesses, and fight for full compensation—especially when the driver denies fault or the insurer pushes back.
What Qualifies as Driver Negligence in an Austin Bicycle Accident?
Driver negligence includes any behavior that violates the duty to drive safely—like texting, speeding, failing to yield, or drifting into bike lanes. If these actions caused your accident, legal action may be warranted.
