Free ConsultationBicycle Accidents in Athens
Athens is a cycling community. With the University of Georgia campus, extensive greenways, and a culture that embraces alternative transportation, thousands of people ride bikes on our streets every day.
Unfortunately, this also means bicycle accidents are common. Drivers who aren't paying attention, who fail to check mirrors before turning, or who simply don't expect to share the road with cyclists cause serious accidents every year.
Georgia law gives cyclists the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicle drivers. When drivers violate those rights and cause injuries, they should be held accountable. We've been fighting for accident victims in Athens for 48 years, and we understand the unique challenges cyclists face.
