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.
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.

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.
