Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys represent Austin cyclists injured by unsafe road conditions and infrastructure failures, helping them recover the compensation they deserve.

The Role of Our Attorneys in Road Hazard Bicycle Accident Cases

Road hazard-related bike accidents can be catastrophic—leading to severe injuries and long-term recovery. At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we understand the complexity of these cases and are here to guide you through the legal maze. Our Austin-based team brings deep knowledge of personal injury law and local road infrastructure issues, ensuring you get the legal representation you deserve.

We have extensive experience handling claims involving dangerous road conditions throughout Travis County and Central Texas. Whether you hit a pothole on East Riverside Drive or skidded over unmarked construction debris on Congress Avenue, we tailor our strategy to fit your unique case.

Why Choose Kelley Wolff Law for Your Road Hazard Bicycle Accident Case?

At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we are relentless advocates for cyclists hurt by preventable road hazards. We handle a range of claims related to:

Driver Negligence – When motorists fail to recognize hazardous road conditions—like swerving around potholes or debris without checking for cyclists—they put riders at extreme risk. Sudden, careless maneuvers near bike lanes can result in devastating collisions.
Dooring Accidents – Even in the presence of road hazards, drivers must check their surroundings before opening car doors. Cyclists navigating around obstacles like debris or poor pavement are especially vulnerable to dooring when forced closer to parked cars.
Intersection Collisions – Road hazards near intersections, such as broken pavement or faded lane markings, can confuse both cyclists and drivers. This increases the likelihood of accidents when vehicles fail to yield or misjudge a cyclist’s position.
Hit-and-Run Incidents – Cyclists who crash due to a driver’s reckless reaction to road hazards—like abrupt swerving or lane changes—are sometimes left behind without aid. We pursue all legal avenues to identify the at-fault party and secure rightful compensation.
Road Hazards and Poor Infrastructure – Cracked roads, unfilled potholes, loose gravel, and unclear bike lane markings often go unaddressed in Austin. We investigate third-party liability, including city or county negligence, to determine fault and recover damages.
Drunk or Distracted Drivers – Impaired drivers are far less likely to react safely to road hazards. Their inability to adjust or maintain proper lane control in the presence of poor road conditions endangers cyclists who are already vulnerable.

Everyone at Kelley Wolff Law took great care of me and my case. I highly recommend them and will be sending anyone I know in need of a personal injury attorney their way!

My husband and I were in a car accident in December '23 and both sustained spinal injuries. We were definitely overwhelmed getting through the holidays that year, and finding Kelley Wolff helped tremendously. After they accepted our case, they took care of everything to get us set up with medical appointments. The medical process was seamless due to their assistance. We completed treatment within around 4-5 months and then moved from Texas to Colorado - I was worried that this would complicate our case, but they took care to ensure it wouldn't complicate or drag it out.Travis & Colin kept us informed throughout the process, and were very helpful when it came time to give our depositions. We both felt very prepared for the process. Our case ultimately went to mediation, and they ensured we were well-prepared for the mediation, including what to expect during and after. The mediator was able to propose a solution that worked for all parties, which we gladly accepted. Once the funds were approved and allocated, we received checks the next business day.We are so glad to be done with this process, only because it was stressful, but I highly recommend consulting Kelley Wolff if you find yourself in a car accident or other personal injury case. Travis & Colin are both exceptionally kind, brilliant, and thorough attorneys, and I feel confident recommending them to any of my loved ones.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Colin, a partner at Kelley Wolff Law, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support and guidance he provided throughout our case. From the very beginning, Colin made everything easy to understand and was incredibly communicative—always keeping us informed and never making us feel like just another file on the desk.What stood out the most to us was how deeply Colin respected and understood our bicultural background. He approached every conversation with genuine sensitivity and awareness, which helped us feel seen, heard, and comfortable during what could have been a stressful process.No matter the size of your case, Colin treats it with the same level of seriousness and professionalism. He never pressured us into decisions but instead guided us thoughtfully, helping us understand all our options and empowering us to choose the path that felt right for us.We highly recommend Colin and the entire team at Kelley Wolff Law. Their integrity, compassion, and attention to detail make all the difference.— Aylin & Orcun
