What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Georgia

Bicycle accidents often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protection compared to cars. If you’ve been in a bicycle crash, taking the right steps can protect both your health and your legal rights.

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if injuries aren’t immediately visible, internal damage or concussions can occur. Get evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible, and keep detailed medical records for your case.

2. Call 911 and Report the Crash
A police report is critical evidence for your claim. Make sure law enforcement documents the scene, statements, and any apparent injuries.

3. Gather Evidence at the Scene

• Take photos of the accident (your bike, the vehicle involved, road conditions, and injuries).
• Get witness contact information.
• Note any traffic cameras or businesses with surveillance footage nearby.

4. Avoid Speaking to Insurance Companies Alone
Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim or shift blame onto you. Before giving any statements, consult a Georgia bicycle accident lawyer who can protect your rights.

We Handle All Types of Bicycle Accidents in Georgia

Bicycle accident claims are often complex—especially when insurance companies try to shift liability onto the cyclist. At Neil Kopitsky, we have extensive experience handling:

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries

Unlike drivers, cyclists lack physical protection, making injuries far more severe than in car accidents. Some of the most common injuries we see in bicycle crash cases include:

• Head Injuries and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
• Broken Bones and Fractures
• Lacerations and Road Rash
• Internal Organ Damage
• Soft Tissue Injuries
• Permanent Disfigurement or Disability

If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a bicycle crash, seek medical treatment immediately—then contact us for legal support.

Who is Liable for a Bicycle Accident in Georgia?

Georgia follows an at-fault system, meaning the driver responsible for the accident is legally required to compensate the injured party. However, liability can be disputed, making legal representation crucial.

✅ Negligent Drivers – Failing to yield, distracted driving, speeding, or running red lights.
✅ Government Entities – If dangerous road conditions contributed to the crash.
✅ Bicycle and Vehicle Manufacturers – Defective brakes, tires, or frames.
✅ Property Owners – If hazardous private property conditions contributed to the accident.

🚨 Georgia’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule
Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33), if you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

📌 Example: If you are found 20% responsible, your compensation will be reduced by 20%.

How Much Compensation Can You Recover After a Bicycle Accident?

After a serious bicycle accident, recovering full and fair compensation is critical. Insurance companies often try to lowball settlements—but we fight for every dollar you deserve.

A bicycle accident settlement or verdict may include compensation for:

• Emergency medical bills and hospitalization costs
• Ongoing medical treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional distress)
• Permanent disability or scarring
• Wrongful death damages (for fatal bicycle accidents)

🚴 Our team fights aggressively to maximize your settlement and ensure you aren’t left covering medical bills on your own.
