YOUR TRUSTED ATTORNEY IN GEORGIA WITH
THE COURAGE TO FIGHT FOR YOU
Motorcycle Accident ATTORNEY in Georgia that you can trust
When it comes to motorcycle accidents, we understand that no two cases are alike — which is why we offer personalized service tailored specifically to each client’s needs and circumstances. Injuries sustained by a motorcyclist is often more severe because the motorcyclist is not protected by a car or truck surrounding them as they ride.
When handling a personal injury case, our goal is always to secure the best possible compensation for our clients — so when you hire us as your legal team, rest assured that we will fight on your behalf every step of the way for a fair and comprehensive settlement.
Most Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents can cause devastation for motorcyclists. The injuries that result can be severe. Many of the most common motorcycle accident injuries include:
● Ankle injuries
● Hand injuries
● Road rash (severe skin damage caused by sliding unprotected)
● Broken bones
● Head trauma
● Spinal cord injuries,
● Internal organ damage
The severity of these injuries depends on the speed at which they were hit, as well as any protective gear that the rider may have been wearing, such as a helmet.
It also depends on the specifics of the accident. A head-on collision with a larger vehicle will cause more severe and life-altering injuries than an impact that may occur where the motorcyclist is sideswiped.
Even if a rider is wearing a helmet and other protective gear, they can still suffer serious injury in a motorcycle crash.
What If the Accident Was Caused By Another Driver?
Motorcyclists are often blamed for accidents, but many of those accidents are not their fault. Most motorcycle drivers ride safely and within traffic laws and speed limits.
All too often, a driver may not “see” a motorcyclist, and it is this lack of awareness that leads to the accident. Drivers that are responsible for the accident may face legal consequences, such as personal injury lawsuits from the rider or even criminal charges.
For example, creating a hazard by driving aggressively or tailgating a motorcyclist can lead to a crash. Whatever the reasons, if another driver caused the accident, they are liable. But you may need to obtain a personal injury lawyer like myself to get fair compensation for the losses you will have suffered, including medical bills, lost wages, physical damages, and ongoing medical treatment such as physical therapy or future surgeries. Consult with me or if you are too injured, have a family member or loved one reach out so I can advise you what to do.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer for My Motorcycle Case?
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. As an experienced personal injury lawyer here in Dalton, I am expereienced in representing clients who have been injured in a motorcyle accident.
Motorcycle accident injuries can range from minor scrapes and bruises to more serious injuries, such as broken bones or head trauma. Insurance companies will try to pressure you into settling for much less than what you deserve and you may not get the compensation that you are entitled to. I am able to negotiate for compensation for things beyond just initial medical bills.
For this reason, you should not talk with an insurance representative until you have consulted with me. You may be entitled to more than what they would offer. As a skilled and experienced motorcycle injury lawyer I will fight for your rights and obtain the best settlement.
