Mopeds are a convenient and affordable way to get around Columbus, especially in high-traffic areas like Downtown, Fort Benning Road, and Veterans Parkway. But when drivers fail to share the road or pay attention, a moped rider can suffer serious, even life-changing injuries.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured moped riders throughout Columbus, Muscogee County, and across West Georgia recover compensation after being hit by a negligent driver. If you’ve been seriously hurt, we’re here to protect your rights and fight for what you’re owed.
Why Moped Accidents Happen
Most moped crashes are caused by drivers who fail to notice or respect smaller vehicles on the road. Common causes of moped accidents include:
- Drivers failing to yield or cutting off mopeds
- Unsafe lane changes without checking blind spots
- Speeding through intersections or stop signs
- Distracted driving (phones, GPS, eating)
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Even a minor impact can throw a moped rider off the vehicle and cause devastating injuries.
Common Injuries in Moped Crashes
Without the protection of a steel frame, airbags, or seat belts, moped riders are completely exposed in a collision.
We help clients who’ve suffered:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones and joint injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Road rash, lacerations, and infections
- Amputations or permanent disability
- Fatal injuries resulting in wrongful death claims
We work closely with your doctors to understand the extent of your injuries and the impact on your long-term recovery.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If your moped crash was caused by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization
- Rehabilitation and ongoing medical care
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental health support
- Damage to your moped and personal property
- Funeral expenses in fatal crash cases
We don’t accept lowball offers. We fight for the full value of your case.
What If You’re Being Blamed?
Insurance companies often try to shift blame to moped riders, claiming they were going too slow, not visible, or improperly positioned on the road. But Georgia law allows you to recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault.
We counter these tactics with:
- Police reports and crash scene photos
- Eyewitness statements
- Traffic or dashcam footage
- Helmet cam or GPS data (if available)
- Expert accident reconstruction
