Atlanta, Georgia Bicycle Accident Lawyer Roger Orlando answers:

Are punitive damages available in Georgia bicycle accident cases?

You may be entitled to seek punitive or compensatory damages in a bicycle accident case under certain conditions. Specifically, if the person who caused the accident recklessly endangered your safety, they may be liable for punitive damages. This includes any behavior which could be considered extreme, outrageous, or intentional. Examples of this are someone intentionally running you off the road or forcing you into a dangerous position, someone who caused an accident while driving drunk, or other behavior which involves reckless disregard for the safety of other people on the road. Punitive damages are only one type of damages for which you can recover, however. You may also be entitled to compensation for medical expenses resulting from your injury, economic losses, such as wages lost due to inability to work as a result of the injury, and compensation for pain and suffering related to the accident or injury. You will also be able to recover for damage to your bike.
