- Road hazards
- Motorcycle defects
These accidents can happen anywhere, from highways like Interstate 20 to local roads in Metro Atlanta. Our attorneys can take on complex cases and can help you determine the cause of your accident.
Usual Injuries From Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can result in life-altering injuries, or even death. The usual injuries due to motorcycle accidents include:
- Head trauma
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Road rash
The long-term effects of these injuries can be severe, including chronic pain, limited mobility and emotional distress. These effects can impact your daily life, work, relationships and overall well-being. Seeking compensation is vital to pursue the support you need to rebuild your life.
What Are The Rights Of Motorcyclists Injured In An Accident?
As a motorcyclist in Georgia, you have the right to claim damages for your losses and suffering. These include:
- Economic damages: These cover your financial losses such as medical expenses and lost wages.
- Noneconomic damages: These compensate for your intangible losses, such as pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Punitive damages: The courts may award these to punish the defendant in cases involving willful misconduct, malice or fraud. Punitive damages also aim to deter similar misbehavior.
If the driver who caused the accident has insufficient insurance to cover your damages, you may still be able to seek compensation for your injuries. You may have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage as part of your insurance policy. This allows you to file a claim with your insurance company, even if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured.
Having uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can offer financial protection and peace of mind in the aftermath of an accident. This can help cover your medical fees, lost wages and other damages. Our attorneys can help you understand how this coverage works and guide you through the claims process, advocating on your behalf to seek a fair outcome.
