Bicycle Accident Lawyer in Atlanta
Injured In an Atlanta Bicycle Crash? Let Us Help You.
Bicycle riding is a popular form of transportation, especially in climates as warm as Georgia. Although this form of transportation is very convenient, it can be extremely dangerous - especially when the other drivers on the road are negligent.
The injuries sustained in a cycling accident are often catastrophic. These life-changing injuries could leave the victim and their families with exorbitant medical bills and the need for lifelong medical care.
If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an Atlanta bike accident, contact Kalka & Baer LLC.
An Atlanta accident attorney in our office will meet with you for free to discuss your injuries and options after a serious crash.
Determining Fault in a Georgia Bike Accident
Cyclists are often assumed to be at fault in a car and bicycle crash. Bikers are seen as a nuisance on roadways and are often on the receiving end of other drivers' aggression. Along with holding the same responsibilities as the other vehicles on the roadways, you also have the right to the same treatment. You have the right to your space and you have the right to safety; however, those rights are frequently compromised by negligent drivers.
Because of the complexity of Georgia bike wreck cases, you need an attorney who will examine every possible angle to ensure you receive the compensation you need and deserve. By performing a line-of-sight reconstruction, we are able to prove unequivocally that there is no way the other vehicle shouldn't have seen you.
We also pull cell phone records to determine if the other driver was distracted at the time of the accident. The paint transfer on the negligent driver's vehicle can also be extremely helpful to your case, as it can disprove their claims that you darted in front of them.
What If I Was Injured in a Hit and Run Bicycle Accident?
-
In cases of injury, or property damage in excess of $500, report immediately, or as soon as practicable, by the quickest means of communication, the accident to the local police, office of county sheriff, or nearest state patrol.
-
File within 30 days of reporting the accident, a statement under oath setting forth the facts of the accident and claiming that he/she has a cause of action for damages against an unidentified person; and
-
Make available for inspection, at the insurance company's request, the auto that the insured was occupying at the time of the accident.

Serious Representation for Serious Injuries
Cyclists have very little to protect them if struck by a large vehicle. Because of this incompatibility, the injuries sustained in bicycle crashes can be life-altering, leaving you with lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and the inability to fully support yourself and your family for the remainder of your life.
We represent victims of negligence who have sustained serious injuries in Atlanta bike accidents including:
- Road Burn
- Fractured Limbs
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Neck Injuries
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Musculoskeletal Trauma
- Disfigurement
- Wrongful Death
Although the insurance settlement that you are offered may seem tempting, the reality is that the insurance company knows how much money it will take to ensure you are taken care of for the remainder of your life, but will not offer that compensation right away.
The insurance company of the liable party will try to settle your case for as little as possible; therefore, it is extremely important to consult with an Atlanta personal injury attorney before signing any paperwork or accepting any statements.
History of Recovering compensation
You have enough to worry about - why should you have to worry about paying legal fees as well? Why would you want to work with a lawyer who charges you for their time? And why should you pay when you did not receive any compensation for your injury case?
At Kalka & Baer LLC, we put our money where our mouth is. We don't make empty promises and charge you if we don't succeed. We are so confident that we could obtain a favorable settlement for you, that you will not pay anything until we recover compensation.
