What Should You Do If You’re Hit by a Car While Riding a Bicycle in Georgia?

If you are hit by a vehicle while riding a bicycle, your safety and medical care should come first. Call 911 or have someone call for you so emergency responders can evaluate your condition and document the incident. Even if you feel okay, it’s important to get checked, as injuries like concussions or internal trauma may not be immediately noticeable.

If you are able, try to document the scene. Take photos of your bicycle, the vehicle involved, road conditions, traffic signals, and any visible injuries. These details can help clarify what happened later. Be sure to exchange contact and insurance information with the driver, and gather contact details from any witnesses.

Police will typically create an accident report. This report may include statements, diagrams, and initial observations, which can be important when dealing with insurance or follow-up questions.

After leaving the scene, follow up with medical care. Bicycle crashes can result in injuries such as fractures, road rash, head injuries, or soft tissue damage that may require ongoing treatment. Attending all recommended appointments helps support recovery and ensures proper documentation.

You may also hear from insurance companies in the days following the crash. This could include your own insurer or the driver’s insurance provider. Providing accurate information is important, but you may want to review questions carefully before giving recorded statements.

In Georgia, liability can depend on several factors, including traffic laws, right-of-way, and visibility. Investigators and insurers may review all available evidence to determine how the crash occurred. Keeping organized records, such as medical bills, prescriptions, repair or replacement costs for your bicycle, and any communication, can make the process more manageable.
