We represent bicycle accident victims.

The accident lawyers at Gonzalez & Waddington believe in preventing accidents than filing for compensation. We know bicycle accidents can result in terrible physical injuires.

Better sage than sorry.

We encourage bicycle riders to protect themselves. We have taken various steps to encourage bicycle riders to protect themselves, we have given away 1000 bicycle helmets and sponsored public service announcements about bike safety. We take every opportunity to prevent the tragedies we see every day in our work. We encourage the use of bike trials and are lobbying for separate bicycle lanes. A majority of brain injuries suffered by bicyclists in a crash could have been prevented by a helmet.

According to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute every year:
• More than seven hundred bicyclists died in crashes with motor vehicles
• About 540,000 bicyclists visit emergency rooms with injuries - 67,000 have head injuries, and 27,000 have serious injuries requiring hospitalization.

From our offices in Augusts GA, we represent bicyclists all over Georgia:
