Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Mulberry

There are bike lanes in some areas of the state, but others, like in Mulberry, have few to offer. Nevertheless, every driver with a license issued by the state receives education and training on how to properly share the road with a bike rider and what steps to take after they suffer an injury.

One of the ways we build your case is to consider why it happened in the first place:

• Driver distraction is a common cause of these accidents
• Left-hand turns often lead to a higher risk because the driver fails to look for and monitor pedestrians
• Speeding and reckless operation of a vehicle, making it impossible to stop when a bike rider enters the roadway
• Unclear or unmarked bike lanes put you at risk because you are unsure how to navigate the roadway with them
• Driver fatigue behind the wheel often means their reaction speed is much slower, putting victims at risk for accidents

The police report from your accident will provide some basic information on these areas. However, we dig deeper to identify any other party that could be held accountable for the losses you incurred.

We want to seek fair compensation, and to do that, we need to consider all parties at fault.

Bicycle Accident Victims Suffer Serious Injuries

Bicycle accidents happen in a matter of seconds, causing serious injuries even when the vehicle is moving at a slow rate of speed. If you are in an accident as a bike rider, always get medical care and document what happened thoroughly.

If you suffered any of the following injuries, we encourage you not to speak to or settle your claim with the insurance company until we analyze your losses and build a claim for you:

• Spinal cord injuries with partial or full paralysis
• Broken bones, sometimes with crushing injuries
• Road rash causes scarring and potential infections
• Burns from chemicals and heat exposure
• Soft tissue injuries, including neck and back injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions or changes to cognitive function
• Emotional trauma onset, including the start of post-traumatic stress disorder

Each of these types of accident injuries could require numerous hospitalizations and rehabilitation appointments, medical bills on an ongoing basis, and a serious impact on quality of life. We encourage you not to seek a claim or settlement until you speak to us about the extent of your injuries.

Types of Damages You May Recover in a Bicycle Accident in Mulberry

Victims of a bicycle accident have the legal right to pursue financial compensation from the at-fault party or their insurance company for the losses they suffered.

You have to know all your losses and what to assign as their value. Some of the damages we commonly seek in these accidents include:

• Medical costs from the accident and ongoing care
• Loss of earnings from missing work while you heal
• Loss of consortium, or changes in relationships due to injuries
• Loss of quality of life if you can no longer engage in activities you once enjoyed
• Pain and suffering for what you experienced physically and mentally from this accident
• Mental anguish, including the onset of conditions like severe anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder

These losses can seem like figures that mean less than getting back to your old life. As your bicycle accident attorney, we know you have an incredible amount of pressure on your back right now to take action. Our attorney will advocate for you and reduce the stress of navigating your claim.

Act Within the Statute of Limitations

The Georgia statute of limitations (Georgia Code § 9-3-33) is just two years from the date of the injury.

That means you have just two years to try to reach a negotiation with the insurance company, file a lawsuit against the at-fault party, and then go to court to fight for you only if necessary to do so. The sooner you contact us, the faster we start working on your case.
