Bicycle/Pedestrian Accidents
Columbus Bike Accidents Lawyers
Bike and Pedestrian Accidents Attorneys in Georgia
In Georgia and in many states, bicyclists are entitled to ride on the roadways along with motor vehicles. Even though the law requires drivers to "share the road" with bicyclists, accidents involving bicyclists often happen when a car or truck driver fails to pay attention to the roadway ahead. When that occurs, the injuries sustained by the bicyclist are often severe and can include paralysis, head injuries, or even death. If you or someone you love was hit by a car, you need a dedicated personal injury attorney to help you through the legal processes.
At Daughtery, Crawford & Brown, LLP, our attorneys are experienced litigators who understand what it takes to make an effective personal injury claim after a bike accident or pedestrian accident.

Bike and Pedestrian Accidents Involve Unique Claims and Unique Injuries
Bicyclists are entitled to use the roadway along with motor vehicles including cars and trucks. Unfortunately, some drivers are inconsiderate of bicyclists traveling on the roadway, and too often wrecks occur when drivers fail to pay attention to the roadway or fail to yield right of way to bicyclists.
