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.
