While bicycling offers obvious health, financial, and environmental benefits, those who choose this mode of transportation face a significant risk of severe personal injury and even wrongful death. When a cyclist is injured because of another party's negligence, the cyclist may be entitled to financial compensation for his or her injuries. At Hasty Pope LLP, we are sympathetic to the struggles a cyclist faces in recovering from a bicycle accident. Our bike accident attorneys - lawyers serving Gainesville, Canton, and Atlanta, Georgia as well as surrounding communities - provide comprehensive legal services for injured cyclists. Contact our firm today if you have been injured on the road and are in need of superior legal counsel.
Among the most common causes of bicycle accidents are collisions with motor vehicles (including automobiles and tractor trailers, as well as motorcycles), road hazards (for example, potholes, gravel, oil slicks, and other obstacles), drunk driving accidents, and cyclist error (for example, failure to obey traffic laws or wear a helmet). A bike accident can cause injuries ranging in severity from relatively minor cuts and bruises to catastrophic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and even death.
If you have suffered a personal injury in a bike accident, our bicycle accident attorneys can help. Our lawyers, based in Gainesville and Canton, Georgia, also serve Atlanta and surrounding communities. Contact our firm today to schedule a case evaluation.
In order to obtain compensation for a bike accident injury (or any type of personal injury), the injured party must present evidence that another party acted negligently; that is, that the defendant failed to take reasonable measures to prevent the accident. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, a number of parties - for example, a motorist, bicycle manufacturer, or the organization responsible for maintaining safe roads - can be held responsible for a bicycle accident. In most states, including Georgia, the cyclist himself can also be held partially responsible (comparatively negligent) for his or her injuries. An experienced bike accident lawyer can make the appropriate party or parties answer for their negligence and obtain compensation for his client's injuries.
