Houston Pedestrian & Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Hit by a Car While Walking or Biking in Houston? We’re Here to Help.

Pedestrians and cyclists are among the most vulnerable people on Houston’s roads. In busy areas like Downtown, Midtown, The Heights, and along major corridors like I-45 and US-59, a single careless driver can cause devastating harm. At Granados & Associates, PLLC, we represent injured pedestrians and bicyclists across Houston and throughout Texas—holding negligent drivers accountable and fighting for the compensation you need to recover.

Who Is Responsible in a Pedestrian or Bicycle Accident?

Texas drivers have a duty to yield and operate safely around pedestrians and cyclists. Many crashes happen because drivers:


  • Fail to yield at crosswalks
  • Speed through intersections
  • Drive distracted or intoxicated
  • Make unsafe turns without checking for cyclists

Even if you were not in a marked crosswalk, you may still recover compensation under Texas comparative negligence laws if the driver was primarily at fault. We gather surveillance footage, witness statements, crash reports, and expert analysis to build a clear case.
