Serving Injury Victims Across Macon
Macon is the heart of Middle Georgia — a city of nearly 160,000 people spread across Bibb County, where daily life means navigating busy corridors like Riverside Drive, Forsyth Road, Pio Nono Avenue, and the interchange where I-75 and I-16 meet. Every one of those roads is a setting where serious accidents happen. Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. has been representing injury victims in Macon for decades, and our attorneys know the local courts, the local roads, and the tactics insurance companies use against Bibb County residents.
When you are hurt because of someone else's negligence, you face a system designed to pay you as little as possible. Our job is to change that equation. From the moment you call us, we take over the legal work so you can focus entirely on recovering.
Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Macon
Macon's road network carries substantial commercial truck traffic because I-75 and I-16 intersect here, making it one of the most important logistics crossroads in the Southeast. This creates a unique hazard for everyday drivers. Some of the most frequently cited accident corridors in Bibb County include:
- The I-75/I-16 interchange and surrounding on- and off-ramps, where high speeds and merging conflicts are common
- Riverside Drive between Tom Hill Sr. Boulevard and Forsyth Road, a high-volume commercial corridor with frequent rear-end and turning collisions
- Pio Nono Avenue, historically one of Macon's most accident-prone corridors due to its density of driveways, businesses, and pedestrian crossings
- Mercer University Drive and the surrounding area near Mercer University and I-16
- Gray Highway (US-129) approaching downtown Macon from the northeast
- The Eisenhower Parkway / Vineville Avenue area on the west side of the city
