Injured on Foot or Bike in Atlanta? We Can Help
Cyclists and pedestrians face serious risks on Georgia’s busy roads and community paths—from downtown crossings to rural highways and suburban neighborhoods. When a driver fails to yield or obey traffic laws, our Georgia pedestrian and bicycle accident lawyers step in to coordinate medical care, collect critical evidence, and handle insurance negotiations. We represent clients across the state, including Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, and beyond, helping Georgia families move forward after devastating injuries.
Your Ally in Recovery
From crosswalk impacts to bike‑lane sideswipes, we focus on building a strong claim while you focus on healing. If the crash involved a vehicle claim issue, our Georgia car accident lawyers can assist with insurer notices, property damage questions, and UM/UIM where needed. For downtown and intown cases, many clients prefer an locally-based, Atlanta personal injury lawyer who understands local roads, police reports, and hospitals like Grady Memorial and Emory Midtown. With deep experience across Georgia communities, our team stands ready to guide you through what comes next. Call today to see how we can help.
Know Your Rights: Georgia Crosswalk Rules & Bike Laws
Our team investigates each case with precision—reviewing the scene, requesting surveillance footage, gathering medical records, and organizing photos, bills, and wage documentation. From there, we build a clear claim and push for a fair result under Georgia law.
Key Georgia rules to know:
- Crosswalks: Drivers must stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in marked crosswalks.
- Bicycles: Helmets are required for riders under 16, and strongly encouraged for all cyclists.
- Sidewalks: Local ordinances control whether riding on sidewalks is allowed.
If fault is shared, Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule still allows recovery when you’re 50% or less at fault—though your compensation may be reduced by that percentage.

Pedestrian & Bicycle FAQs for Georgia Residents
Do pedestrians always have the right of way in GA?
Bicycle car collision incidents and pedestrian crashes often result from distracted driving, failure to obey traffic signals, and poor light conditions. At Molinary Law, we investigate accident causes to hold negligent drivers accountable.
Can adults ride without helmets?
Yes—Georgia requires helmets only for riders under 16. Adults may still bring a claim if another party’s negligence caused the crash.
Can I ride on the sidewalk?
It depends on local law. Some cities limit sidewalk riding; we’ll check your city or county rules and focus your claim on the conduct that caused the injury.
I was hit by a car, what should I do?
Call 911, exchange information, photograph the scene and your injuries, and get medical care. Keep damaged gear and your bike; they may be important evidence.
What if I’m partly at fault?
Georgia allows recovery if you’re 50% or less at fault, with compensation reduced by your percentage. We work to clarify fault using reports, videos, and witness statements.
