Bicycle Accident Personal Injury Claims:

People ride on bicycles every single day in Georgia. Riding bicycles is a great way to get exercise. However, when you or your loved ones are riding a bicycle you are very vulnerable to injury or even wrongful death if you are struck by a negligent motor vehicle driver. When a car or truck strikes a bicycle on the road way it usually results in very serious injuries or even death. There are no "fender benders" when a car or truck collides with a bicycle rider.

How often are people injured or killed in car wrecks involving bicycles?

Some 2002 statistics involving bicycles as published by the National Center of Statistics and Analysis are:

• 662 deaths resulted from accidents involving bicycles.
• 48,000 injuries involving bicycles.
• 2% percent of all traffic fatalities involve collisions involving bicycles
• 2% of all the injuries caused from auto accidents each year.
• bicycle accidents

Bicycle accidents are going to happen no matter how careful bicyclists are. Personal injury or wrongful death claims arise when someone is injured or killed due to the negligence of someone else. One example would be a motor vehicle driver who fails to maintain control of their vehicle due to excessive speed, DUI, or driving while distracted (cell phone use, texting, eating while driving, etc.). The damages for personal injury claims include past and future medical expenses, past and future lost income, and pain and suffering. If the negligent driver was racing or DUI, then there may also be punitive damages (damages to punish the driver for wreckless disregard for human life). Our firm has had great success in obtaining settlements and verdicts that fully compensate our client's for their personal injury and wrongful death claims.
