As an experienced personal injury attorney, I can assess your financial recovery options, advocate for you against insurance companies and hold the responsible party accountable. I proudly serve clients in Atlanta, Fulton County, DeKalb County and the surrounding areas.
The Immediate Steps After A Motorcycle Crash
The moments following a motorcycle accident are often chaotic and stressful. However, your actions during this time can impact your future claim. In a motorcycle accident, take these steps, if you can:
- Move out of immediate traffic danger.
- Dial 911 to report the incident and request medical assistance.
- Collect essential information from the other driver.
- Document the scene by taking photos or video of the vehicle damage, road conditions and your injuries.
- Keep documentation of all medical treatments, doctor visits, physical therapy and related bills.
- Start a detailed diary of the accident, your injuries and how it affects your daily life.
- Notify your own insurance company about the incident, but limit discussions about fault.
- Engage a personal injury lawyer to investigate the facts and initiate your personal injury claim.
Swift action helps preserve evidence and memory details. A Georgia motorcycle accident lawyer can guide you through the specific laws and steps required to secure your claim’s foundation.
Georgia’s Motorcycle Laws And How They Affect Compensation
Understanding traffic law is central to any motorcycle claim. In Georgia:
- Lane-splitting is illegal.
- All riders and passengers must wear a helmet.
- If the motorcycle does not have a windshield, the rider and passenger must wear protective eye gear.
- Passengers may only ride on motorcycles designed for more than one person.
Georgia uses a modified comparative fault system. This means that the at-fault driver is financially liable for the property damage, medical costs and other losses suffered by the injured parties.
You may pursue compensation only if you have less than 50% fault for the crash. The compensation you receive will be reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault. For example, if you receive $100,000 but have 20% fault, you can recover only $80,000. If your assigned fault reaches 50% or greater, you cannot recover any damages.
How A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help You
I offer the diligence and resources necessary to build a compelling case against those responsible for your damages. With an in-depth understanding of Georgia statutes, I can advocate for your best interests and strive to recover maximum compensation.
Georgia has a strict deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit. The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Georgia, including those involving motorcycle accidents, is two years from the date the injury occurred. Your attorney can move quickly to ensure you do not miss any deadlines.
