Serving injured cyclists
in Charlotte and across NC
Cyclists have the same rights to the road as drivers. Our Charlotte bicycle accident lawyers, who ride themselves, fight for injured cyclists across the area.
When a driver hits a cyclist, it’s not just a crash. It’s personal. And at our firm—it’s deeply understood.
At Johnson & Groninger PLLC, you’re not hiring a law firm that happens to handle bike crashes. You’re hiring a team that lives and breathes cycling culture. Attorney Ann Groninger isn’t just one of the state’s leading bike injury lawyers—she’s a lifelong cyclist, race team member, and co-founder of Bike Law North Carolina.
Ann knows what it’s like to ride Charlotte’s streets. She knows the dangers you face from distracted drivers, unsafe infrastructure, and biased crash reports. More importantly, she knows how to take your case seriously when others try to minimize it.
If you’ve ever been hit by a car while riding a bike, you already know: there’s no such thing as a “minor” bike crash. Even low-speed impacts can result in devastating injuries. And yet, cyclists constantly face judgment—from insurance companies, police reports, and even the media.
Here’s the truth: You have the same rights as any other road user. When someone violates those rights, you deserve more than platitudes and excuses. You deserve action.
We represent cyclists across Charlotte and Mecklenburg County who’ve been hurt in all types of crashes, including:
Whether you were commuting, riding for fitness, or on a casual loop through the greenway—we take your crash seriously because we’ve been in your shoes.
Cyclists have very little protection in a crash. Helmets help—but they can’t prevent all injuries. We regularly help injured cyclists recover compensation for:
We work with medical experts and life-care planners to ensure your recovery plan is fully supported—not just by doctors, but by the legal system too.
Insurance companies love to downplay bicycle crashes. They may blame the cyclist. Claim you weren’t visible enough. Question your decisions. Or lowball your injuries because “it wasn’t a car crash.”
We don’t let them.
Attorney Ann Groninger has:
She knows the rules of the road. She knows the legal blind spots cyclists face. And she knows how to build a case that makes the insurance company—and the jury—pay attention.
If you’ve been injured in a bike crash that wasn’t your fault, North Carolina law may entitle you to:
You’re not just a line item on a claim form. You’re a person with a life that was interrupted—and that matters.
The steps you take right after a crash can make a huge difference in your case.
Depending on the crash circumstances, we may pursue claims against:
In some cases, liability isn’t obvious. We investigate every angle to ensure no stone is left unturned.
We’re not strangers to the cycling world—we’re part of it. Our clients choose us because we offer:
You don’t need to explain why this crash hit you so hard. We already understand. At Johnson & Groninger, we stand with cyclists because we are cyclists. And we’ll fight like hell to make sure your voice is heard, your recovery is prioritized, and your rights are enforced.

Charlotte-based. Serving cyclists across North Carolina.
Free consultations. No pressure. No fee unless we win.
You can still pursue a claim. Helmet use isn’t required by law for adults in North Carolina and doesn’t negate a driver’s responsibility to avoid a crash.
North Carolina uses contributory negligence, which can bar recovery if you’re even 1% at fault. That’s why early legal representation is crucial—so we can protect you from unfair blame.
You may still have options through your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage or surveillance footage. We’ve handled plenty of cases where the driver fled—but justice still followed.
Most cases settle. But we prepare every case like it could go to trial. That’s how we get results that reflect your real losses.
We represent clients statewide, with offices in Durham and Charlotte. Whether you’ve been injured at work or hurt in a crash, we’ll meet you where you are.
