Bicycle Accident Lawyers in Morrow, GA

Too often, it feels like Atlanta drivers are unwilling to share the road with bicyclists. This leads to many serious bicycle accidents resulting in injury or death, mainly because a bicyclist doesn’t have the benefit of protective siding or airbags. In the state of Georgia, bicyclists over the age of 16 are not even legally required to wear helmets, although helmets often do save lives. If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s recklessness on the road, you may be entitled to legal compensation for your medical bills, property damages, lost wages during rehabilitation, or your general pain and suffering. Contact Stein & Fox LLC today to request a free consultation and case assessment. Our personal injury law firm would be happy to help you file bicycle accident claims in Atlanta, GA. Our bicycle accident lawyers have helped many people receive the justice they deserve through bicycle accident settlements.

Common Bicycle Accident Causes Resulting in Personal Injury

According to Georgia law, motorists must remain at least three feet apart from bicyclists on the road for their safety. Motorists must also yield to bicycles in a bike lane. Failure to yield or to keep a safe distance may result in the driver’s liability for the accident. Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents that our personal injury lawyers in Morrow have seen include all of the following scenarios:

  • Failure to yield to bicyclists in the bike lane
  • Opening car doors as a bicyclist is passing
  • Driving while intoxicated or under the influence
  • Motor vehicles driving in a designated bike lane
  • Motorist’s inability to see a bicyclist in the bike lane

What You Should Do After a Bicycle Accident in Morrow, GA

If you have been involved in a bicycle accident in the Atlanta area, you need to know what to do in the aftermath. Please do the following for your safety and to protect your legal rights to compensation for your injuries or damages to your property:

  • Call 911 – You should never leave the accident scene, even if your injuries seem minor. Call 911 for immediate medical attention. Wait in a safe location free from oncoming traffic or other hazards for police and first responders to arrive. Use your best judgment about whether or not it is safe to relocate without causing further injury or distress. Be aware that some internal injuries may not be immediately evident.
  • Do Not Admit Fault – If it is safe to do so, you may exchange information with others involved in the accident and witnesses, including insurance details and contact information. However, you should be wary of what you say to others involved and even to the responding police officers and medical personnel. You should never admit fault right away. Investigations will reveal who was at fault for the accident in due time.
  • Gather Evidence – If possible, take photos of injuries or any damages to your personal property. Note the details of your surroundings, including road and weather conditions, lighting, posted speed limits, and your direction of travel and that of others involved. If vehicles were moved after the accident, be sure to take note. The more evidence you gather at the scene, the stronger your case for filing a bicycle accident claim later may be with our lawyers.
  • Know the Statute of Limitations – In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing a bicycle accident claim for personal injury is two years from the date of your accident. Failure to file your claim within that time frame could make you ineligible to receive compensation.
  • Call a Bicycle Accident Lawyer – Because several parties are usually involved in a bicycle accident settlement, it is in your best interest to call an experienced bicycle accident lawyer. The attorneys at Stein & Fox LLC will ensure you are treated fairly by the other driver involved and the insurance companies. We will also maintain all settlement communications on your behalf, so that you can focus on your recovery and getting back to what you love doing.
