Today, begins the first official work week for the year 2015. Like most Americans who make New Year’s resolutions I’ve decided to pick up cycling as a leisure sports activity to stay in shape, I love the outdoors, and because I miss riding bike trails in North Carolina. I’ve always believed that you should work in a profession that you’re passionate about and so combining my interest in bicycles and helping others who have been injured in accidents is a great fit for me. I suppose when one is growing up you never say to yourself I want to specialize in bicycle law but I think as you become more active in cycling events and learn more about transportation and infrastructure (city of Houston). I would like to think that I’m not the typical stuffed shirt attorney and that I actually possess somewhat of a pleasant personality and so my blog on Texas bicycle law will not be a typical blog that discusses solely the law as it applies to Texas bicycle accidents or Texas bicycle insurance coverage. This blog will actually document my jump from the typical personal injury attorney (read: car accident lawyer – which I do handle fyi) to one who focuses on Texas bicycle accidents and the law surrounding injuries and wrongful death of Texas bicyclists when encountering various automobiles on roadways (my personal injury practice focuses primarily on bicycle law, maritime injury, and toxic tort cases). Additionally from time to time I may discuss local bicycle events, bicycle shops, bicycle hardware and of course bicycles that I’m considering purchasing. I hope that you find this blog funny, informative, and easy to read. I hope you have a great Monday and hopefully I will see you on the trails, parks, or roads in Houston bicycling.
