• Keep all your bicycle gear, clothing and especially helmet.
• Do not have your bicycle repaired or replaced. Make sure it is preserved in the state it is in immediately following the accident.
• Go to the scene and gather any debris from your bicycle or other vehicle and hold onto it.
• Preserve any information or videos from your personal devices (Go Pro, Smart watches, or other gear) that may have captured the accident or recorded data about your speed, path, etc.
• Look for security cameras that may have video of the accident. If you see a store that has a camera that could have captured the accident, talk to the manager immediately.

Bicycle Accident Case Recent Results

Atlanta, Georgia bike accident lawyer Bryan Baer has handled dozens of cases for people seriously injured in bicycle accidents. The case below demonstrates the challenges involved in bicycle cases and how diligent, courageous and compassionate representation can lead to successful results.

Confidential Settlement to Young Man Riding His Bicycle to Work

Attorney Bryan Baer represented a young man in his mid-20s who collided with a car on his way home from work. The car pulled out of an access road to a Norcross, Georgia shopping center and into the crosswalk right in front of the bicyclist. The bicycle hit the passenger side of the car, and the bicyclist flew over the handlebars landing on the ground. Even though he was wearing a bicycle helmet, he suffered a fractured vertebra in his neck necessitating surgery and costing the bicyclist hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The police report faulted the injured bicyclist on the basis that the bicyclist was riding on a sidewalk and the automobile driver had the right of way.

Once retained, attorney Bryan Baer obtained video of the accident from the security camera of a nearby Dunkin Donuts. The camera footage showed that the car pulled out into the crosswalk immediately before the bicyclist got there, and had the driver looked both ways before pulling out into the cross walk, he would have seen the approaching bicyclist. Attorney Bryan Baer also leveraged data from the GPS device on the bicycle that recorded time and distance to rule out excessive speed. Proving it was legal for the bicyclist to be riding on the “sidewalk” was challenging and ultimately required an Affidavit from Gwinnett County Transportation officials. The Affidavit stated that the “sidewalk” was actually a multi-use path dedicated for multiple purposes, including riding bicycles, in the mid-1990s. With this information secured, attorney Bryan Baer obtained a favorable result for his client and settled the case before trial.
