Atlanta Motorcycle Accidents

Because motorcycles aren’t enclosed like other vehicles, accidents are more traumatic and often cause life-changing injuries. If you’ve suffered a motorcycle accident, your first course of action is getting your life back together. That might include undergoing extensive surgeries, taking time off work, and getting ample rest. Even if you aren’t working, the medical bills continue to come in, and the at-fault driver’s insurance company doesn’t want to compensate you. This is adding to your stress and might be hurting your mental health. Don’t shoulder this burden by yourself. With our firm by your side, you can focus on healing while we file a claim against the party responsible and help you collect compensation to pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and more.

Motorcycle Accident Claim Basics

After suffering a motorcycle accident, the other driver’s insurance company will quickly get to work, investigating the case. Depending on what the insurance company finds, it will likely choose one of two courses of action. It will attempt to avoid paying any compensation or try to get you to accept a small settlement, regardless of the severity of your injuries. If you agree to a settlement offer, you cannot seek further damages. It’s critical that you do not accept a settlement before consulting with a motorcycle accident attorney.

Many people think they have to file a lawsuit if they consult with an attorney, but that isn’t the case. Instead, your attorney will explore your options and help you choose the best path forward, whether that’s a settlement or a lawsuit. Either way, your attorney will be at your side, ensuring that your rights are protected during the process.

Motorcycle Accidents

Approximately 56 percent of motorcycle accidents occur between a motorcycle and another vehicle. Unfortunately, around 78 percent of these accidents are head-on collisions, which cause significant injuries and can be fatal. Often, these accidents happen due to distracted driving or because the motorists didn’t see the motorcycle.

Motorcycle accidents can also be caused by lane splitting, which increases the collision rate on the roadways. The reduced space can cause motorists to hit motorcyclists on the side. Other causes include driving under the influence and failing to obey traffic laws. If you’ve been the victim of a motorcycle accident, you need to consult with an attorney to find out if you have a claim against the other driver.

“As a former felony prosecutor, I believe that there is no fight that is too small or too big to fight when seeking justice for my clients.”

Do I have a case?

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident due to the recklessness or negligence of another driver, you may have a case. Your case must be filed before the statute of limitations on personal injury cases is up. You also must meet other conditions to file a successful case against the at-fault driver. To begin the process, consult with an experienced motorcycle accident attorney. Your attorney will evaluate the evidence and help you receive compensation for your injuries.

How much is my case worth?

Because each situation is different, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney must evaluate your case to determine how much compensation you deserve. Compensation is based on different factors, including the value of your lost property, your past and future medical bills, and the reduction in your quality of life. Also, if you share any of the fault for the accident, that will factor into the monetary award. Consult with an attorney to find out how much you can expect to collect due to your accident.
