Cyclists Have Rights — George Makes Sure Drivers Respect Them
Under Texas law, bicyclists have the same rights and duties as motor vehicle operators on the road. But the reality on our streets is different: cyclists are often overlooked, underestimated, and blamed when accidents occur. Insurance companies count on that bias.
George Oginni builds bicycle accident cases that prove exactly what happened — through traffic footage, witness testimony, accident reconstruction, and expert analysis — and fights to ensure that driver negligence doesn't go unpunished because the victim was on two wheels instead of four.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
A driver turning right cuts across a cyclist in the bike lane or on the road shoulder.
A car occupant opens a door into a cyclist's path without checking — one of the most common urban bike crash causes.
Drivers who pull out of driveways or side streets without seeing an oncoming cyclist.
Drivers who pass cyclists with less than the required 3-foot clearance under Texas law.
Phone-distracted drivers who simply don't see cyclists until impact.
Potholes, debris, uneven pavement, and missing drain covers that city or property owners failed to repair.
