Bicycle Accident Lawyer Stonecrest, GA

Our Stonecrest, GA Bicycle Accident Lawyer Assists Injured Victims Like You

Cyclists in Georgia have the same rights to the road as any other vehicle. Drivers are expected to pay attention to the smaller, vulnerable cyclists to avoid hitting them or opening a car door into their direct path. When drivers are distracted, they may not notice the much-smaller bike sharing the road. Some drivers may even be irrationally aggressive to a slower-moving cyclist; our attorneys have seen multiple instances of bicycle accidents caused by road rage. Whatever the reason for your bicycle accident, our Stonecrest, GA bicycle accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve from the at-fault driver.

When you work with Andrew R. Lynch, P.C., you receive full-service legal representation after a bike wreck. Whether the accident was caused by an errant driver, another cyclist or pedestrian, or because the city or county didn’t maintain bike trails for safety, we can help you get the compensation you deserve. Call us today for a free consultation.

How Our Attorneys Help Bike Accident Victims

Most bicycle accidents are caused by negligence, either a distracted driver, careless pedestrian sharing your sidewalk, trail, or bike lane, or because the municipality responsible for making sure that roads and public-use trails are in good repair (i.e., no cracks in the pavement that pose a fall hazard or proper markings for bicycle lanes). If you were hurt in a bicycle accident you didn’t cause, then there’s a good chance one of these entities is liable for the harm you suffered.

Our lawyers help you understand your rights to file a civil suit for compensation, getting you the money you need for top-quality medical care, replacing a mangled bike, and providing fair consideration for your pain and suffering. We collect evidence to build a case of negligence against the party who caused your accident and then negotiate a settlement on your behalf.

Many bicycle accident victims may not realize the full extent of their rights. We help you learn more about what you may be entitled to. We also handle all the matters necessary to get you fair compensation, from building the case to representing you in court and negotiating a settlement with the at-fault party.

Complications In Georgia Bicycle Accident Claims

Bicycle accident claims have a few complications that other types of traffic accidents may not. First, most victims have very high medical bills. Even with a helmet, there’s a good chance that being hit by a car could cause a head injury, and some people may suffer moderate to severe concussions. You could be out of work for months if you have multiple broken bones or internal injuries that require surgery. This means that your medical damages could easily top six figures. Insurance companies heavily scrutinize expensive claims, which means that the case your lawyer builds must be strong to ensure you receive your fair due.

Secondly, the party that caused your accident could blame you. If you were biking on the road, even though you’re allowed to be there, a driver could claim you were taking the necessary care for your own safety. Our attorneys understand these challenges and have developed effective strategies to overcome them.
