BICYCLE ACCIDENTS
Bicycle Accident Attorney in Gwinnett County
Bicycle accidents often involve catastrophic or deadly injuries because of the difference in size between a bicycle and an automobile. This and the fact that a bicyclist is exposed and unprotected from the outside can result in injuries with devastating and sometimes life-long effects. This is why it is critically important for the injured bicyclists to seek representation from the beginning from a Gwinnett County bicycle accident lawyer. He or she will need an advocate throughout the difficult recovery to help obtain the compensation deserved and to fight the case with the client’s best interests in mind.
On a bike, you’re exposed. We hold reckless drivers accountable—period.
Safe Passing Law (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-56): Drivers must leave at least three feet when passing a bicyclist. Comparative Negligence (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33): Cyclists can still recover damages if they are less than 50% at fault.
Fatal Bicycle Accident Claims
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, 21,287 cyclists were injured in reported car accidents, including 3,514 who were killed or seriously injured in 2014, and the numbers are increasing every year as cycling gains popularity.
