Are pedestrians and cyclists at more risk near UT Dallas?
Campus areas bring more people walking, biking and riding scooters, often near busy streets and transit. Texas has no statewide helmet law for adult cyclists or e-scooter riders. Not wearing a helmet does not by itself bar a claim against a careless driver, although an insurer may argue about how much it affected the injuries.
