Here at the Tyrone Law Firm, we are dedicated to representation of clients and their families in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. When you think of someone being injured or killed by another’s negligence, many times the first thought is of an auto or truck collision. However, in a place such as the Greater Atlanta area, pedestrians and bicyclists are many times the victims of  negligent or careless motorists.

Bicycle Accident Lawsuits Nationwide:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that there were 44,000 bicyclists injured in 2006 and nearly 800 killed. Males account for the vast majority of bicycle injuries and deaths, and children between the ages of 5 and 15 are involved in nearly 20 percent of all bicycle accident cases.

If a motorist has caused you harm because he or she was driving with a reckless disregard for the safety of others, you can file a claim to obtain financial compensation for your suffering. Motorists have an obligation to obey the rules of the road. They also have a responsibility to exercise caution when driving.

Unfortunately, many motorists don’t appreciate that individuals can suffer serious injuries or death if struck by an automobile while riding a bike. Contact our firm today to schedule a free consultation.
