I was hit by a car making an illegal left hand turn and I went over the car's hood but thankfully was not badly injured. The insurer was, to be polite, not in the business of paying out settlements to legitimate claims and I hired Bill to work this. He was professional empathetic (as a cyclist himself) and worked this from a number of approaches thoroughly. I highly recommend him based upon my experience and, by the way my wife's as well. Excellent job.

Bill was recommended to me when I got hit by a car while cycling in 2024. He clearly has a wealth of experience with my type of case and he took plenty of time to explain what I could expect from the process and settlement. He kept me well-updated as he negotiated with the third party insurance as well as my health insurance, and in the end I was very surprised and satisfied with the outcome. I would recommend Bill to anyone who finds themselves in my situation. His office is professional, effective, and a pleasure to work with.

Bill was helpful getting the insurance company to respond with the help that was needed. Without his work, I was not even able to get them to respond to me. He was able to guide me with what I needed to do to be successful with my claims.

Bill Shirer is an excellent attorney for injured bicyclists in need of assistance. Bill was a consummate professional at handling my accident which occurred when a SUV failed to yield making a left turn on a flashing yellow light. The accident resulted in severe facial trauma including the loss of multiple teeth and numerous facial fractures requiring several surgeries. His guidance and counsel throughout the process was invaluable. I could not be happier with the outcome of my case due to Bill's diligence and expertise.

Bill was above and beyond in every aspect of representing me. Hopefully I do not get hit by a car again. If I did, I would run straight back to Bill. Thank you Bill for everything that you did for me!

Cycling through Far North Dallas offers great routes, scenic neighborhoods, and a strong community of riders. But even the most experienced cyclists face dangers from distracted drivers, unsafe intersections, and poor road conditions. When an accident happens, you need someone who understands both the sport of cycling and the complexities of Texas personal injury law.

Bicycle Accident Lawyer in Far North Dallas

That’s where Cyclist at Law comes in. With more than 35 years of trial law experience and over 100,000 miles on the bike, I represent cyclists throughout Far North Dallas and the greater DFW area. I’m not just an attorney — I’m a cyclist who knows the roads, the challenges, and the value of every mile you ride.

Dedicated Legal Representation for Far North Dallas Cyclists

Far North Dallas is one of the most active cycling communities in North Texas. Between routes near Prestonwood, Bent Tree, and Addison, riders often share the road with heavy traffic. Unfortunately, all it takes is one distracted driver to change everything.

At Cyclist at Law, I help injured cyclists recover full compensation for:

  • Medical bills and ongoing treatment
  • Lost wages or reduced work capacity
  • Pain, impairment, and emotional distress
  • Bike damage and replacement value

Every case is handled directly by me — from the first call to final settlement. My goal is simple: to protect your rights, manage the insurance process, and make sure you can focus on recovery instead of red tape.

Understanding the Challenges Cyclists Face After a Crash

Cyclists face unique challenges after an accident that most drivers — and even many lawyers — don’t fully understand. Insurance adjusters often undervalue the damage to high-end bikes or assume cyclists can simply “get a new one” online. They also overlook the emotional and psychological toll that follows a collision.

As both a trial lawyer and an experienced cyclist, I understand the true impact of these crashes. Beyond physical injuries, many cyclists deal with post-collision anxiety, fear of riding again, and a loss of community connection from no longer participating in group rides.

I use this knowledge to present a complete and accurate claim — one that fully represents your injuries, your bike, and your lifestyle.

Why Choose Cyclist at Law in Far North Dallas, TX

Choosing an attorney after a cycling accident shouldn’t come down to advertising slogans or firm size. You deserve someone who actually understands cycling.

Here’s what sets me apart:

  • 35+ years of personal injury trial experience
  • Board-certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
  • AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell — the highest peer review rating
  • 100,000+ miles ridden and over 100 triathlons competed
  • Personal case handling — no assistants or paralegals managing your claim
  • No fees unless you recover compensation

When you hire Cyclist at Law, you get direct access to an attorney who’s both passionate about the sport and relentless in the courtroom. I handle your claim as if it were my own, ensuring every detail — from medical records to carbon frame replacement — is addressed properly.

Common Bicycle Accident Claims in Far North Dallas

Far North Dallas has busy intersections and fast-moving traffic corridors that often put cyclists at risk. I’ve represented riders in all types of accident scenarios, including:

  • Vehicle vs. bicycle collisions at intersections
  • Drivers making right turns without checking bike lanes
  • “Dooring” accidents involving parked vehicles
  • Crashes caused by distracted or texting drivers
  • Potholes and road debris leading to injuries
  • Hit-and-run cycling incidents

Each case is different, but my approach remains consistent — investigate thoroughly, gather witness statements, communicate with insurers, and build a strong, fact-based claim for maximum recovery.

Recovering Compensation After a Bicycle Accident

After a crash, you have the right to pursue damages for both your injuries and your property loss. Cyclist at Law helps you recover:

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Full replacement value of your damaged bike, wheels, and gear

I know how to present these damages in a way insurance companies respect. When adjusters undervalue a carbon bike or claim it can be repaired cheaply, I explain why replacement is necessary — not optional. Having owned over 20 high-end bikes myself, I understand the real costs and nuances of bike damage claims better than most.

Serving Cyclists Across Far North Dallas and Surrounding Communities

I proudly represent cyclists throughout Far North Dallas, including neighborhoods like Prestonwood, Bent Tree, Frankford, Hillcrest Estates, and Addison. Whether you’re a weekend triathlete, a commuter, or part of a local cycling club, I’m committed to protecting your rights on and off the road.

Because I’m an active member of the Texas cycling community, I ride many of the same roads my clients do. That firsthand familiarity with local routes, driver behavior, and city infrastructure helps me build stronger, more informed cases.

What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Far North Dallas

Knowing what to do immediately after a cycling crash can make a major difference in your recovery and case outcome.

Here’s what I recommend:

  • Move to safety and call 911 immediately.
  • Ask police to file an official accident report.
  • Exchange information with the driver and any witnesses.
  • Take photos of your bike, injuries, and the accident scene.
  • Seek medical attention — even if you feel fine.
  • Call Cyclist at Law before talking to any insurance adjuster.

I’ll help you preserve evidence, document your damages, and prevent the insurance company from twisting your words. The earlier you call, the stronger your claim will be.
