Bicycle Accident Injury Attorney in Augusta, GA

Bicycle accidents frequently result in serious injury or even death. Many cyclists are harmed because of a negligent driver or because of a defective condition in the roadway. In some cases, an automobile driver may not be paying attention and may not see the biker before a collision occurs. Bike injuries commonly result from side-swipes with cars, collisions while turning, and from colliding with suddenly opened car doors. Other common injuries result from unmaintained roads, ongoing roadwork, and construction sites for which there is no visible warning. For example, an unmarked pothole is common in construction areas, and can cause riders to have a serious crash if not clearly marked.
