I'm looking for a Texas attorney to represent me in a lawsuit against Target and others for my injuries from a poorly assembled/designed Schwinn bike. If you know of a Texas plaintiff's attorney with experience in bike cases, please let me know.

After three surgeries to a shattered elbow that still doesn't bend all the way, my advice is don't buy cheap bikes from mass retailers.

Sorry to learn of your misfortune, BigD. Being in Boston, I cannot offer much help on your question. Sounds like what you want though, is a law firm that represents consumers in defective products, or products that were poorly assembled, causing the end user injury.

At another forum, I posted questions I would like ask Mr. Lee Scott, CEO of Walmart stores. The questions:

Mr. Scott, when you sell bicycles, you charge a fee for "professional assembly". Where are you professional bicycle mechanics trained? Are they trained by the Barnett bicycle institute in Colorado, or the United Bicycle institute in Oregon?

Do your store sales people spend time with bike buying customers, to ensure that the bike they are buying is the proper size?

Are all bicycles given a final checkout, to ensure that tires are inflated to pressure, brakes and shifters are properly setup, and the bike is properly adjusted and safe to ride?

Yeah, those are the questions I would have for Mr Lee Scott, or the top bananas at any of the big discount retailers. But, I'm not going to ask them.

Dan Lundeen of Houston is an advocate of some note in the cycling circles of Texas. He does a lot of work for cyclists in the rather un-cycling city of Houston. As a practicing attorney and organizer of HABA (Houston Area Bicyclist Alliance) and a board member of the Texas Bicycle Coalition along with several other positions of trust in the community I'd think he would know who to refer you to.

I've been gone from Houston a few years now but I'm sure this fellow is still quite active. He can certainly direct you to precisely to those who can help you if unable to champion that cause for you himself. I don't think that's his field but who better to find a lawyer than another lawyer.
