Bicycle Accident cases in El Paso
Cyclists in El Paso ride Mesa Street, Montana Avenue, and Alameda Avenue alongside traffic that doesn't always give them space. Texas treats bicycles as vehicles with a right to the road, yet with border-crossing traffic and Interstate 10 freight through the Borderplex, riders across El Paso County are still hit by turning, passing, and distracted drivers.
If a driver turned across your path, passed too close, or opened a door into you, you may be able to recover for your injuries. A participating Texas law firm may review your El Paso bike crash.
Common El Paso bicycle accident situations
- Right-hook and left-cross collisions on Mesa Street, Montana Avenue, and Alameda Avenue

Why quick action matters in Texas
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30–90 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
