The State of Georgia has previously addressed bicycle safety and accident prevention with the Better Bicycling Bill (HB101), and it has more recently considered further action in the Safer Cycling in Georgia Act (HB393). In the southeast quadrant of our state, local legislatures are pursuing their own safety efforts with bicycle safety and preventive measures in Pooler.
Our seasoned bike crash attorneys at Chattahoochee Injury Law commend these efforts to make streets and roadways safer for bicyclists in Chatham County. We believe that efforts to hold negligent motorists accountable for causing bicycle accidents will also increase bicycle safety awareness in our community.
Residents who use the Pooler Parkway and Quacco Road might have noticed construction to widen the roadway and add dedicated turn lanes south of I-18. In part, the preventive measures included in the construction will improve bicycle safety by providing more room for bicycling and enabling cars and bicycles to negotiate turns with less interference.
Pooler is also providing input to a Chatham County Master Plan that seeks to identify ways to link local bicycling paths.
Experienced cyclists in Pooler appreciate roadway improvements, but also recognize that they play a significant role in their own ability to ride safely and avoid accidents. Some common personal safety and preventive measures include:
Together, these proactive steps not only reduce the risk of accidents but also promote a culture of mutual respect and safety between cyclists and motorists on Pooler’s roads.
If you are injured in a Pooler bicycle collision, you can make a claim for compensation for your injuries from the negligent parties that caused it. Those parties will likely defend against your claim by arguing that you were not riding safely and took no measures to prevent the accident. If their defense succeeds, and they prove you were more than 50 percent at fault for the accident, under Georgia law, unfortunately, you cannot recover any compensation from them.
When you retain a knowledgeable bicycle accident lawyer from Chattahoochee Injury Law to represent your interests, your lawyer will analyze evidence about the accident to assess how effective those defenses might be. That evidence might include police reports, photographs of the accident scene, eyewitness testimony, and statements from individuals in the accident. If it shows that you were riding safely and took measures to prevent the crash, your claim for compensation will be significantly stronger.
The experienced legal team at Chattahoochee Injury Law has represented injured bicyclists in lawsuits for many years. We know and use Pooler’s roads, bicycle paths, and lanes, and have helped both novice and experienced cyclists improve their knowledge of bicycle safety and preventive measures in Pooler.
Unfortunately, safe bicycling practices and accident prevention can only take you so far. If a negligent motorist causes you to crash and suffer injuries, please call us for a complimentary consultation about how you can file a bicycle accident lawsuit to recover compensation for your economic and non-economic losses. We will fight to secure the reimbursement you need to cover your medical bills, replace the income you lost while recuperating, and get back on your feet as soon as possible.
