Decades of Helping Statesboro Residents
When you’re hurt in a bike accident with a car, you need a lawyer who has experience in these types of cases. Your insurance claim might not move forward like a normal car accident claim. The insurer might try to blame you, particularly if the adjuster isn’t up to date on bicycle laws and safety practices. That’s where the attorney Troy Marsh comes in.
With over 31 years of experience and a history of holding motorists accountable when they hit bicyclists, Troy Marsh is a hard-working trial attorney who will assess your case quickly, identify those at-fault, gather all of your medical records and bills, and present your claim so you recover the max.
What Troy Marsh Can Do
When you or a loved one are hit by a car while riding a bike, having a reliable, hard-working attorney is important.
It could be the difference between getting what you need or some low-ball settlement. You could be suffering from serious injuries, and you need someone fighting to get what’s best for you and your family – not what’s best for the at-fault driver or the insurance company.
When attorney Marsh handles your bike accident claim:
He’ll be your only lawyer. You’ll never be passed off to an associate. If Mr. Marsh works with another attorney on your case, it’ll be because of their specific skills and at no cost to you. Your lawyer will still be Mr. Marsh.
He answers your questions. You can expect a weekly call with Troy or his staff. He’ll always be available to answer your questions, update you on the progress of your case, and address your concerns.
He gets results. With over two decades of experience, he knows what makes a strong case in car-bike accidents. He reviews the facts, identifies who was at fault, demands compensation from the insurer, and, if necessary, prepares your case for trial.
He takes on the risk. The Marsh Law Firm takes on the responsibility of financing your case. You only pay an attorney’s fee if we win compensation in your bicycle accident claim. Most of the time, expenses are reimbursed from your portion of the recovery.

Mr. Marsh has handled all types of bike accident cases. Intersection accidents are common, particularly when drivers make reckless turns. Another issue is drivers who forget to check their blind spots and merge into cyclists. Bike lanes are meant to keep cyclists safe, but they can’t when drivers don’t look out for bikes.

Help with your Injury
Getting hit by a car on a bike doesn’t automatically make the driver at fault. To recover compensation, you have to prove the driver or another party was responsible. It’s your responsibility to show the other party owed you a duty of care but acted recklessly.
Proving fault in a bike accident can be hard without an experienced attorney. Fortunately, attorney Marsh has been building strong claims for injured cyclists for over two decades. Let him gather the evidence, witness statements, and more. He’ll get to the bottom of what happened, make it clear that the driver was negligent, and that you’re owed compensation.
The Claims Process
After being hit by a vehicle, you likely went to the emergency room right away. Your priority should always be your health and safety. In the days or weeks after the crash, you might get a call or letter from the driver’s insurance company. We recommend consulting a lawyer before talking with the insurer about how much your case is worth and how to get the insurer to pay more.
During the insurance claim process, attorney Marsh will protect your rights with clear evidence that you are owed compensation. He’ll help document your injuries and how they’ve impacted your life to maximize how much you can demand. His goal will always be to get the insurer to negotiate for a higher amount. If an offer is good, he’ll say so. When it’s too low, he’ll fight for what you deserve.
Possibly, yes. Bike riders have to follow the rules of the road too. For example, you can ride in the road going the same direction as traffic, but you must stay to the right except when it’s dangerous or turning left. You have to obey traffic signs and signals. If you were careless while riding your bike and contributed to the crash, you could receive less compensation or prohibited from receiving any money.
If a vehicle caused an accident but didn’t stop to help, call the police and make a report immediately. It’s sometimes possible to identify the vehicle and driver. With this information, you can work with an attorney to demand compensation. Leaving the crash scene is also a crime, and the police could pursue charges against the driver.
Georgia doesn’t require bicycle helmets for riders who are 16 years or older. Of course, it’s safer if you wear a helmet, but it isn’t legally required unless you’re 15 years or younger.
Georgia has a Safe Distance passing law. Vehicles should put at least 3 feet between the vehicle and the cyclists to pass. If a vehicle passed you and came so close as to strike you or push you off the road or into traffic, the driver might’ve broken the law. File a police report, and talk with a bicycle accident lawyer.
