- Not paying attention to surroundings
- Changing lanes without looking
- Driving while fatigued
- Speeding
- Driving recklessly
- Driving while intoxicated

BICYCLE COLLISIONS
Drivers are all too quick to blame a bicyclist when an accident occurs, making claims like the cyclist darted into traffic or wasn’t obeying the rules of the road. Drivers tend to forget, however, that they are not infallible and are often the cause of many serious bicycle crashes that can lead to catastrophic injuries and wrongful death.
In a collision case involving a bicyclist, the attorneys at Salam & Associates, PC , thoroughly investigate every case to determine who was really at fault and if compensation is owed to the injured bicyclist. We then handle every step of the process to make sure things are done correctly and a fair settlement is achieved.
From our offices in Richardson, we practice throughout Texas and New Mexico. We can also arrange to meet clients in our Las Cruces location (by appointment only).
