Round Rock, TX Bicycle Accident Lawyer
A bicycle offers no steel cage, so a driver’s momentary inattention can leave a Round Rock rider with life-changing injuries. If a motorist hit you while you were on your bike, SMB Law, PC moves fast to protect the evidence and pursue the full recovery Texas law allows. A Round Rock bicycle accident lawyer who acts quickly can secure the dashcam footage and witness details that decide these cases. Shane M. Boasberg has represented injured Texans for over twenty years and personally preserves that proof before it disappears.
Round Rock riders share the road with heavy commuter traffic feeding I-35 and the tollways, and many crashes happen where neighborhood streets and trail crossings meet fast arterials. Those are exactly the spots where drivers fail to look for a cyclist before turning or pulling out.
Where a Round Rock bicycle accident claim is handled
Round Rock sits primarily in Williamson County, so a lawsuit from a Round Rock crash is filed with the Williamson County District Clerk at the Justice Center in Georgetown. Most claims settle with the insurer well before suit, but we prepare every case as if it will be tried — that is what moves adjusters.
The two-year deadline and fast-fading evidence
Two things decide many Round Rock bicycle cases: the clock and the proof. Texas generally gives you two years from the date of the crash to file suit, and missing that deadline usually ends the claim no matter how badly you were hurt. Just as important, the evidence that proves what happened — the driver’s dash-cam, nearby doorbell and business cameras, 911 audio, and skid or debris patterns — can disappear within days.
We send preservation letters immediately, photograph the scene and your bike before it is repaired or scrapped, and lock down witness statements while memories are fresh. Acting early is often the single biggest factor in what a Round Rock claim is ultimately worth.
A Round Rock crash report is a starting point, not the last word. Officers arrive after the fact, sometimes accept the driver’s version, and occasionally miscode who had the right of way. We treat the report as one piece of evidence and build the rest — the physical damage to the bike and vehicle, the final rest positions, and independent camera footage from nearby homes and businesses — so the record reflects what actually happened rather than a rushed roadside conclusion.
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 in Round Rock
Round Rock cyclists share the road with some of the most dangerous intersections in Texas — three of the state’s top 50 sit on Louis Henna Boulevard alone, and crossings like Greenlawn & Louis Henna (29 crashes in 2025) put riders at particular risk. The Brushy Creek Regional Trail network is safer, but its street crossings are where trail traffic meets car traffic.
Texas law requires drivers to pass cyclists at a safe distance and yield where riders have the right of way. When they don’t, documenting the driver’s violation — not the cyclist’s presence — is what wins the claim.
A serious crash in Round Rock rarely fits a single label — SMB Law, PC also handles crosswalk crash injuries, a motorcycle wreck case, and car wreck representation, and you can learn more from our Austin bicycle accident attorneys.
Frequently asked questions
What should a cyclist do after being hit in Round Rock?
Call 911 and get the driver identified in a police report, photograph the scene and your bike, seek medical care the same day, and avoid giving the driver’s insurer a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer. Texas gives you two years to file, but evidence fades in days.
How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Texas?
Generally two years from the date of the crash. Because key camera footage and witness memories fade within days, it is best to involve a lawyer as soon as possible.
The driver says I was hard to see. Does that hurt my claim?
Not by itself. Texas reduces recovery only by your share of fault, and drivers have a duty to watch for cyclists. We gather the evidence that answers the ‘came out of nowhere’ defense.
What if the driver had little or no insurance?
Your own uninsured/underinsured-motorist coverage may apply, and we look for every available policy. Texas minimum limits are low and serious bicycle injuries often exceed them.
Do I have to travel to your office from Round Rock?
No. Our office is about 20 miles south on I-35, and we handle Round Rock consultations and updates by phone and video.
