Determining Liability in a Bicycle Accident

Georgia law protects cyclists, but proving fault requires skill and evidence. Liability may rest with:

    • A negligent driver who violated traffic laws
    • A business or city agency responsible for poor road maintenance
    • A manufacturer of defective bicycle parts

Our attorneys analyze police reports, eyewitness statements, and expert reconstructions to build a strong, fact-based claim on your behalf.

Compensation Available for Injured Cyclists

If you were injured in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to recover:

    • Medical expenses and ongoing care
    • Lost income and future earning capacity
    • Bicycle repair or replacement costs
    • Pain and suffering
    • Emotional trauma or loss of enjoyment of life

At Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins LLP, we fight for the full compensation our clients deserve—never quick settlements that undervalue their losses.
