Marietta is a bicycle-friendly city with popular routes through Marietta Square, along the Mountain to River Trail, and on streets near Kennesaw Avenue, but that doesn’t mean cyclists are always safe. When drivers fail to yield or check their surroundings, bicyclists suffer the consequences.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injured cyclists throughout Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, and Cobb County. Whether you were hit in traffic or struck in a bike lane, we’re here to hold negligent drivers accountable and help you recover the compensation you need.
Why Do Bicycle Accidents Happen in Marietta?
Most bicycle accidents result from driver negligence. We handle cases involving:
- Failure to yield at intersections or crosswalks
- Right-turn or left-turn collisions
- Distracted or texting drivers
- Speeding in neighborhoods or near schools
- Dooring accidents (driver opens car door into rider’s path)
- Drivers ignoring bike lanes or road-sharing rules
- Drunk or impaired driving
Even a low-speed impact can cause serious, permanent injuries for an unprotected cyclist.
Serious Injuries from Bicycle Crashes
We help victims who have suffered:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and complex fractures
- Facial trauma and dental damage
- Road rash, deep lacerations, and infections
- Internal injuries and bleeding
- Fatal injuries leading to wrongful death claims
We work with medical providers and life care planners to fully document your physical and financial recovery needs.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were hit by a car while biking, you may be entitled to damages for:
- Emergency medical care and surgeries
- Ongoing treatment and physical therapy
- Lost wages and future lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Mental health support or trauma counseling
- Bicycle and property damage
- Funeral costs in fatal accident cases
We pursue full and fair compensation, not just what insurance adjusters are willing to offer upfront.
What If the Driver Tries to Blame You?
Insurance companies often try to shift blame to the cyclist. But Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover compensation if you were less than 50% at fault.
We strengthen your claim with:
- Police reports and crash scene analysis
- Eyewitness interviews
- Surveillance or dash cam footage
- Expert accident reconstruction
- Full documentation of your injuries
We push back when insurers try to devalue your case or blame you unfairly.
