Pflugerville, TX Bicycle Accident Lawyer
What Our Clients Say
After a bicycle crash the medical bills start immediately, but the real cost often stretches for months or years. SMB Law, PC makes sure a Pflugerville rider’s claim reflects the full picture, not just the first emergency-room bill. A knowledgeable Pflugerville bicycle accident lawyer makes sure future surgeries, therapy, and lost earning power are all counted before you settle. Shane has handled Central Texas injury claims since 2003 and personally builds the claim around the full, long-term cost.
Pflugerville’s trails and neighborhood streets connect to fast arterials and toll roads, and its young, busy, tech-connected community puts a lot of riders on the road. When a driver hits one of them, the injuries are frequently serious.
Where a Pflugerville bicycle accident claim is handled
Pflugerville is in Travis County, so a lawsuit is filed with the Travis County District Clerk at the Civil and Family Courthouse on Guadalupe Street in Austin — a few blocks from our office, where we appear regularly.
The damages a bicycle claim can recover
A fair Pflugerville bicycle claim is built on more than the initial hospital visit. Texas law allows recovery for past and future medical care, lost wages and lost earning capacity, physical pain and mental anguish, disfigurement, physical impairment, and the cost of a damaged bicycle and gear.
Cyclists absorb crash forces directly, so injuries like fractures, concussions and traumatic brain injuries, road rash requiring skin treatment, and joint damage are common — and their true cost shows up in follow-up surgeries, therapy, and time away from work long after the crash. We document that full arc with medical records and, where the injuries are lasting, expert testimony, so the settlement accounts for what the injury will actually cost you over time.
For lasting injuries, documentation is everything. A concussion or traumatic brain injury can affect memory, mood, and the ability to work long after the visible wounds heal, and those consequences are easy for an insurer to dismiss without proof. We build the record with treating-physician opinions and, where warranted, a life-care plan that projects future surgeries, therapy, and support — so a Pflugerville settlement is measured against the injury’s real trajectory, not just the bills already in hand.
Decades of Texas injury experience on your side
These cases are won on details, and details reward experience. You work directly with attorney Shane M. Boasberg, who has represented injured Texans for more than two decades and has been licensed by the State of Texas since 2003. He knows how Central Texas insurers value bicycle claims, how local juries view riders, and how to counter the reflexive argument that the cyclist ‘came out of nowhere.’ You get a lawyer who has done this many times — not a case manager reading from a script.

Cycling Pflugerville
Lake Pflugerville’s loop and the city trail network are the safe miles; the risk is crossing FM 685 and Pflugerville Parkway, where the city’s own improvement program acknowledges the intersection problem. Driver duty — safe passing, right of way — decides these cases.
Injuries in Pflugerville often overlap with other collisions; we also represent people hurt in crosswalk crash injuries, a motorcycle wreck case, and car wreck representation, backed by our Austin-based bicycle accident attorneys.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pflugerville doing anything about its dangerous intersections?
Yes — the city’s capital improvement program targets FM 685 intersections. For an injured cyclist, that public record cuts both ways: it documents the known danger, which strengthens claims about what drivers there should anticipate.
What can I recover after a Pflugerville bicycle accident?
Past and future medical bills, lost income and earning capacity, pain and mental anguish, impairment and disfigurement, and property damage to your bicycle and gear.
The insurer offered a quick settlement. Should I take it?
Be careful. Early offers often ignore future care. Once you sign a release you cannot reopen the claim, so it is worth a review first.
Where is a Pflugerville bicycle case filed?
With the Travis County District Clerk at the courthouse on Guadalupe Street, since Pflugerville sits in Travis County.
Do I have to travel far to work with you?
No. Our office is only about 16 miles south and near the Travis County courthouse; we also work by phone and video.
