Motorcycle Accidents
Atlanta, Georgia Personal Injury Lawyer


When someone riding a motorcycle is involved in a crash, he is over three times as likely to die than if he had chosen to ride in a car. This risk is much higher if he chose to ride without a helmet a rider without a helmet is five times more likely to suffer a serious head injury.

Roads contribute to the risk, too. In Georgia, some counties are notorious for higher motorcycle fatalities. Riders traveling in Bacon, Brantley, Dawson, Hancock, Jeff Davis, Lanier, or Seminole should be aware of the higher road risk for bikers in these areas.

The freedom of the ride is another factor. Physical protection of the rider on a motorcycle is minimal. One of the draws of riding a bike is also one of its biggest dangers.

Most motorcycle accidents result from negligence on the part of the other driver. Police reports are needed, and thorough investigations are important.

Having someone with experience in motorcycle accidents is invaluable here, because there can be so many contributing factors. Weather, time of day (sunshine), road condition, condition of the car involved, traffic on the road, sound volume in the car involved, and many other variables must be assessed.
