Protecting the Rights of Bicyclists

If you were injured in a bicycle accident, you are not alone. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), in 2011, 677 bicyclists were killed in traffic crashes and another 48,000 were injured. Our El Paso bicycle accident attorneys at Farah Law represent bicycle accident victims, and we stand ready to pursue the compensation that you need and deserve!

Why Hire Farah Law?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that while only 1% of all trips taken in the United States are by bicycle, bicyclists are at a higher risk of crash-related injuries or deaths than the occupants of motor vehicles.

Bicycle Accident Prevention Tips

  • Wear a helmet – bicycle helmets reduce the risk of brain injuries in a crash.
  • Wear fluorescent clothing – this makes you visible from further away, even during the day.
  • Wear retro-reflective clothing – this can make you more visible at night.
  • Ride with the flow of traffic, not against it – data shows that getting hit from behind is unlikely.
  • Don't ride on the sidewalk – it is not a safer option because motorists and pedestrians are not looking for bicyclists on the sidewalk.
  • Lights at night – at night, use headlights, taillights, and reflectors and wear reflective clothing.
  • No headphones or cell phones – never wear headphones or talk on a cell phone while bicycling.
