Bicyclist and pedestrian injuries

The rules of the road pertaining to Georgia pedestrians and bicyclists are codified in Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.  Specifically, O.C.G.A. § 40-6-90 et. seq. imposes obligations upon pedestrians and motorists alike.  And these obligations, when ignored, can give rise to liability against motorists for hitting pedestrians and pedestrians for causing motorists to sustain injuries when taking evasive action to avoid hitting negligent pedestrians.  O.C.G.A. § 40-6-290 et. seq. imposes the same type of reciprocal obligations upon motorists and bicyclists.

Having handled a number of motor vehicle versus pedestrian/bicyclist cases, The Dow Firm, P.C. is well familiar with the applicable law and the facts necessary to develop a claim and secure a recovery for injured clients regardless of their status as pedestrians, bicyclists or motorists.
