Cycling is a popular way to get around Augusta, whether for recreation, exercise, or commuting. But when drivers fail to share the road, a bicycle ride can turn into a life-altering accident. If you were hit by a car near Downtown Augusta, along the Augusta Canal Trail, or while crossing Broad Street, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injured cyclists across Augusta, Martinez, Evans, and Richmond County. We understand the severe consequences bike crash victims face, and we’re here to hold negligent drivers accountable.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents in Augusta
Many bicycle accidents are caused by drivers who fail to watch for cyclists or follow traffic laws. We handle cases involving:
- Drivers failing to yield at intersections or crosswalks
- Unsafe left or right turns
- Opening car doors into a cyclist’s path (dooring)
- Distracted or texting drivers
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Impaired driving
- Bike lane encroachment or failure to share the road
Even at low speeds, a car-versus-bicycle crash can result in serious injuries.
Serious Injuries We Handle
Bicyclists are highly vulnerable in a crash. We represent clients with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Fractures and broken bones
- Road rash, lacerations, and infections
- Facial trauma or dental injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Wrongful death resulting from fatal bike crashes
We work with medical experts and specialists to fully document your injuries and their long-term effects.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If a negligent driver caused your bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency room and hospital care
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Lost income and loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Mental health support for trauma or PTSD
- Bicycle repair or replacement
- Funeral and burial costs in fatal accident cases
We don’t accept lowball settlements. We fight to make sure your financial recovery matches the true cost of your losses.
What If the Driver Tries to Blame You?
Drivers and insurers often claim the cyclist was riding unsafely or outside a designated bike lane. But under Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule, you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault.
We defend your case using:
- Crash scene photos and police reports
- Eyewitness statements
- Video footage (dash cams, surveillance)
- Expert accident reconstruction
- Detailed medical records
We push back against unfair blame and protect your rights.
