When a driver isn’t paying attention, the consequences can be devastating, especially for pedestrians and cyclists.

In Decatur and throughout Wise County, these crashes leave victims seriously injured, permanently disabled, or worse.

These aren’t “accidents.” They’re preventable.
Most pedestrian and bicycle collisions are not random — they happen because a driver wasn’t looking, didn’t yield, or was going too fast for the conditions. We’ve seen serious crashes caused by:
- Drivers turning without checking for pedestrians in the crosswalk
- Motorists running stop signs or red lights
- Distracted drivers using phones or in-car tech
- Vehicles passing too close to cyclists
- Dooring incidents on city streets
- Speeding in school zones or residential areas
- Drunk or impaired driving at night
Many of these wrecks happen in low-speed zones, but even a vehicle going 25 mph can cause life-threatening injuries to a pedestrian or cyclist. When someone else’s negligence changes your life, we’re here to help you hold them accountable.
Common pedestrian and cyclist injuries in Wise County
Because there’s no physical protection, victims of these crashes often suffer catastrophic injuries, including:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
- Broken bones and orthopedic trauma
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Severe lacerations, road rash, and disfigurement
- Fatal injuries
These injuries require immediate care and long-term treatment. You may miss work, lose mobility, or need assistance just to get through daily life. The Decatur pedestrian accident lawyers at Hoover Rogers Law, LLP, fight for full compensation to cover the real, lasting impact of your injuries.
How fault works in Texas pedestrian and bicycle claims
Texas law protects pedestrians and cyclists, but that doesn’t stop insurance companies from trying to shift blame. They may argue that you crossed outside a crosswalk, weren’t wearing bright clothing, or didn’t follow the rules of the road.
Our attorneys are familiar with the tactics used to devalue claims. We conduct independent investigations, gather evidence, and work with experts to determine:
- Who had the right of way
- Whether the driver was distracted, speeding, or intoxicated
- Whether road design, visibility, or signage played a role
- Whether local ordinances were violated
Even if you were partially at fault, Texas follows a modified comparative fault system, which means you can still recover compensation if you’re less than 51% responsible. Our lawyers work to minimize your share of the blame and maximize what you’re owed.
Compensation for injured pedestrians and cyclists
If you were hit while walking or biking, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical treatment and follow-up care
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of quality of life
- Property damage (e.g., bicycle replacement, gear)
- Wrongful death damages for grieving families
These claims often involve high medical costs and long recovery periods. You need a legal team that understands how to calculate the full scope of your losses — and push for every dollar you deserve.
Time is critical — evidence disappears fast
Footage from nearby businesses, skid marks on the road, and witness statements can make or break your case, but they don’t last forever. The sooner you call Hoover Rogers Law, LLP, the sooner our lawyers can take action to preserve important evidence.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years, but don’t wait that long to start building your case.
