Bicycle Accidents

Injured in a cycling accident in Houston? Leatherwood Law is ready to roll with your case.

Houston bicycle accident lawyer Hogan Leatherwood

Cyclists deserve the same respect and protection as any other road user. But in Houston, many drivers fail to yield, pass too closely, or simply don’t see the bike until it’s too late. If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, we’re here to help you hold the negligent driver accountable.

At Leatherwood Law, we represent cyclists hit by cars, trucks, or commercial vehicles throughout the Houston area. We understand the unique mechanics of bicycle crash cases—and how to fight back when insurance companies try to shift the blame onto the rider.

You focus on your recovery. We’ll focus on getting justice and compensation.
