Macon Bicycle Accident Lawyers
Cyclists in Macon share the road with larger, faster vehicles and face serious dangers from inattentive or aggressive drivers. When a motorist's negligence causes a bicycle accident, the cyclist almost always bears the brunt of the injuries. Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. fights to make sure cyclists receive the same full compensation under Georgia law that any other accident victim is entitled to.
Georgia law grants bicyclists the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicle operators. Motorists must treat cyclists as they would any other vehicle on the road. Violations of traffic law by a driver that cause injury to a cyclist can establish negligence per se.
Every person operating a bicycle on a roadway has all of the rights and duties applicable to drivers of vehicles, except those provisions which by their very nature can have no application. Motorists who fail to respect these rights and injure cyclists face liability under Georgia law.
