Fatal Bicycle Accidents in Texas
E-bike accidents are becoming more common on Texas roads. When an e-bike collides with a vehicle, the results can be devastating. Riders have little protection against larger, heavier vehicles, especially at high speeds.
Common causes of fatal bicycle accidents include:
- Driver Inattention: Motorists often fail to see cyclists at intersections or driveways.
- Unsafe Turns: Drivers turning without checking their surroundings can cause deadly collisions.
- Poor Visibility: Low light and bad weather make it harder for drivers to notice cyclists.
- Speeding: Higher speeds reduce reaction time and increase impact force.
Victims of these crashes often suffer catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, or internal bleeding. Families face sudden grief, financial stress, and the difficult process of seeking justice.
