Bicycle Accidents

Have you been injured by another driver in a bicycle accident? Lawrenceville area bicycle accident attorney, Robert Giannini, provides free case evaluations for injured bicyclists. The Atlanta area is notorious for its heavy traffic. These conditions can make it incredibly difficult to ride a bicycle without being injured. There are nearly 1,000 bicycle accidents in Georgia each year. Bicyclists are still entitled to the same duty of care as other drivers on the road. When the driver of an automobile is careless, a bicyclist often ends up injured much more seriously than another car or truck driver would be. Bicycles do not offer steel frames, windows, or airbags and therefore, injures are often catastrophic.

The average weight of a compact car is just under 3,000 pounds, and with large cars that number can jump to 4,000 pounds or more. The average road bicycle weighs about 17 pounds. And when you consider that a car driver is barreling down the road inside a 3,000-pound machine, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that an exposed biker pedaling a 17-pound bike will be in a lot of danger should the two collide.

According to data released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a division of the United States Department of Transportation, 783 bicyclists were killed in traffic crashes in the US in 2017, and many more were injured. Emergency rooms have seen their share of broken arms and legs, internal injuries, and head injuries. When a bicyclist collides with a vehicle, such as a car or truck, the injuries can be severe, possibly even fatal. And while you may think the bicyclist is the only one in danger, that is not accurate. Motor vehicle drivers may swerve to avoid hitting a bicyclist and hit another vehicle, crash into a bus stop or building, etc., there are many scenarios and none of them are good.

Whether you’re a bicyclist or a vehicle driver, you’re going to need a skilled personal injury attorney to navigate the complex journey ahead of you as your case is reviewed by insurance companies or goes to court for trial. Bicyclists have almost no protection for their body in the event of a collision, even a low impact collision has the potential to cause severe or even life-threatening injuries. A bicyclist could experience broken bones, head injuries, concussions, internal bleeding, road rash, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, or even death. Medical care is costly and costs are on the rise. If you’re in an accident you could be facing enormous medical and hospital bills, costly prescription medication prices, property damage, lost wages, and devastating emotional trauma.
