⚖️ Liability & Fault in Arlington
Georgia requires drivers to pass cyclists with at least 3 feet of clearance, and ordinary negligence principles apply to dooring, right-hook, and failure-to-yield crashes. Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) still lets you recover if you’re less than 50% at fault.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Can I sue if a pothole or road defect caused my crash?
Possibly, but claims against a government entity often involve special notice requirements and deadlines shorter than the standard 2 years — it’s important to act quickly.
2Does my auto insurance help if I was on my bike?
Sometimes. Uninsured motorist or MedPay coverage on an auto policy can apply depending on the wording — we review your policy to confirm.
3What if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Georgia doesn’t require adult cyclists to wear helmets, so it typically doesn’t reduce your recovery, though it may come up if you’re a minor.
⚖️ Legal Information
Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) applies: you can recover as long as you’re less than 50% at fault. Claims against a government entity for a road defect involve different notice rules — we identify which apply to your case.
Whether you were doored from a parked car or right-hooked at an intersection, we build your case with witness accounts, road evidence, and — when needed — your own ride data.
