Injured While Cycling? Call an Attorney Who Has Recovered More Than $50 Million for Clients

Cyclists have far less physical protection than occupants of cars and trucks. A collision can cause serious injuries, including injuries whose symptoms are not fully apparent immediately after a crash. Medical attention and documentation can be important even when an injured rider initially feels able to leave the scene.

Crash details can matter in a bicycle injury claim. Useful bicycle crash evidence may include photographs of the scene, damage to the bicycle and vehicle, visible injuries, witness information, police records, roadway conditions, and available video. Visibility, right-of-way, passing distance, turning movements, distraction, impairment, and other driver conduct can affect how a collision is evaluated, including whether a drunk driver caused the crash.

Georgia law generally gives cyclists the same roadway rights and duties as drivers, subject to bicycle-specific rules. For example, a driver passing a bicycle must leave at least three feet between the vehicle and bicycle until safely beyond the rider. Whether the parties followed these rules may affect liability.
