Motorcycle accidents can cause severe injuries to those involved. If you were hurt in one, you will need to retain the services of a skilled Atlanta motorcycle accident lawyer to discuss your options.

How do motorcycle accidents occur?

There are a number of different ways that motorcycle accidents can occur. However, the majority of these accidents are a direct result of driver negligence. Some of the most common kinds of motorcycle accidents include the following:

• Texting and driving
• Driving while intoxicated
• Tailing motorcyclists too closely
• Inclement weather conditions
• Dooring accidents
• Accidents at stoplights
• Other drivers failing to look before merging or changing lanes

Is PIP available for motorcyclists in Georgia?

In the state of Georgia, unfortunately, motorcyclists are not covered under Personal Injury Protection Insurance (PIP). PIP is a type of no-fault auto insurance that supplies injured parties in auto accidents with financial compensation to cover a part of their expenses that were caused by the injury.

In the event that you are injured in a motorcycle accident, the only way to recover financial compensation is if you can demonstrate that the other party caused the accident in a personal injury claim. To begin this process, you will need a skilled personal injury attorney on your side. Give us a call today to get started.

Can I recover compensation after being hurt in a motorcycle accident?

To be able to file a successful claim, you will have to demonstrate that you were hurt as a direct result of another party’s negligence. In order to be able to recover compensation, you will need to retain the services of an experienced attorney that can help you craft your claim and satisfy the burden of proof. You may be able to recover compensation through both economic and non-economic damages.

What is the statute of limitations for motorcycle accidents in Georgia?

Personal injury claims are time-sensitive. If you were injured and would like to pursue legal action, keep in mind that you will have a small time frame to do so. This is because the state of Georgia has a statute of limitations of two years. This means that you will have two years from the date of your motorcycle accident to bring legal action against the negligent party who is liable for causing your accident. The sooner you file your claim, the better. To begin this process, reach out to our skilled personal injury firm today to learn more about how we can help you through this legal process.
