Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists have the same legal right to use Georgia’s roads as motor vehicle drivers, but none of the physical protection. When a driver’s negligence causes a collision, the resulting injuries are often severe. JP Law represents bicycle accident victims throughout the Atlanta metro, from the BeltLine corridors of Atlanta to the Buford Highway corridor in Chamblee and the trail networks near Kennesaw Mountain. All cases are handled on a contingency fee basis.

Most bicycle accidents are caused by preventable driver behavior. Distracted driving, failure to yield at intersections, unsafe lane changes, opening vehicle doors into a cyclist’s path, and impaired driving are the most frequent causes. More than 55% of bicycle accidents occur at or near intersections.

Because cyclists have no protective structure, even moderate-speed collisions can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and severe road rash. Injured cyclists in Marietta, Norcross, and across the metro may be entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs. JP Law evaluates the full impact of each injury before pursuing a settlement.

JP Law also handles bicycle accident cases in Brookhaven, East Point, Forest Park, Lawrenceville, and Suwanee.
