Georgia Bicycle Accident Lawyers Fighting For Injured Cyclists

You Need a Lawyer You Can Trust After Being Injured in a Bicycle Accident

Your bicycle accident happened fast. But dealing with your crash can take weeks, months, or maybe even years. Perhaps you have a serious injury. Maybe you can't work or do many of the things you love, including riding a bike.

Medical expenses can add up fast. So can other bills — whether it's to pay for transportation while you can't drive or ride. Or perhaps for daycare for your kids or physical therapy for yourself. And then there are all your other bills, the ones you normally get every month. They don't stop coming. And if you're not working, you might not be able to pay them.

Common types of bicycle accidents

Bicycle accidents can happen at any time, anywhere, but there are a few situations that are especially dangerous, including:

  • Right hook: A right hook occurs when a driver makes a right turn without noticing an oncoming cyclist to their right. This can lead to a collision at an intersection as the cyclist continues straight while the vehicle turns and hits the bicycle.
  • Left/right cross collision: These types of bicycle accidents happen when a vehicle turns left or right in front of an oncoming cyclist’s path. These collisions can occur when drivers fail to maintain a proper speed and distance from cyclists.
  • Changing lanes without looking: Bicyclists can also be put at risk for accidents when drivers change lanes without checking their blind spots. This can lead to sudden collisions if a cyclist is in the driver's blind spot and goes unnoticed during the lane change.
  • Failing to yield: Bicycle accidents can occur when drivers fail to yield the right of way to cyclists, particularly at intersections, crosswalks, and other shared spaces.
  • Driving too close to the bike lane: Driving too close to the bike lane or designated cycling areas can significantly increase the risk of collisions. This can force cyclists off the road or lead to sideswipe accidents if there is not enough space for both vehicles and bicycles.

What are common types of bicycle accident injuries?

As cyclists navigate busy streets, they can face hazards that can lead to a range of injuries. From chest pain to leg pain, and being knocked off their bikes, these accidents can result in a variety of injuries.

What we can do for you

Bicycle accidents can be extremely complicated, including ones clearly caused by another driver. Why? Because many drivers refuse to admit they did anything wrong. They might even try to blame you, saying you did something to cause the collision. And that's if you can find the driver at all - hit and runs are very common in bicycle accident cases.

Then there are the insurance companies. The one working for the driver who caused your bicycle accident likely only has one thing in mind - to deny your accident claim. The reason? Most insurance companies only care about their bottom line. And bicycle accidents can often be very expensive, costing them thousands or potentially even millions of dollars.

They don't scare us. Gary knows all the tricks insurance companies play. And he knows how to beat them at their own game. He knows what evidence matters. And he knows how to find it. Most insurance companies come around to our side and agree to offer a settlement that fully addresses your needs. If not, we're prepared to fight them every step of the way in court.

Take your case seriously right from the start. Contact Gary right now and schedule your free case evaluation with a Georgia bicycle accident lawyer who puts your best interests first.
