Overview

Cyclists share the road but rarely share the protection. If a driver’s carelessness put you down in {location} — a door swung open, an unsafe pass, a right turn across your path — we build your case around what actually happened, not what a driver claims.

Why This Practice Area Matters

Most bicycle accident claims come down to lane position, visibility, and whether the driver gave you the space Georgia law requires. We document all three quickly, before memories fade and vehicles are repaired.

Common Causes

  • Unsafe Passing
  • Dooring from Parked Cars
  • Right-Hook Turns Across Bike Lanes
  • Distracted Driving
  • Failure to Yield
  • Poor Road Maintenance

Compensation You May Recover

  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Bicycle Repair or Replacement
  • Future Medical Care

Case Guide

Bicycle cases often turn on lane position, passing distance, and visibility. We document all of it quickly, along with any municipal road-design issues that may have contributed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can 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.

Does 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.

What 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.
