Georgia Motorcycle Injury Lawyer
Do I need a Georgia injury lawyer for my motorcycle crash?.

In today's economy insurance companies now more than ever have tightened their "claim purse strings." These insurance companies are making it harder for injured victims to receive the benefits they are entitled to under Georgia law. To maximize your settlement value you need an injury attorney that has experience taking insurance companies to court when they don't pay.

What Is My Motorcycle Case Worth?

Below are some of the considerations for determining case value:

  1. Damage to my bike and personal items, (i.e.) helmet, gloves, pants, shirt, etc.
  2. Payment of all medical bills and consideration of any future medical bills.
  3. Payment of all lost of wages, including overtime, and other benefits plus consideration of future loss of earnings.
  4. Compensation for pain and suffering - this area of the claim doesn't follow a formula. It takes years of experience to determine a fair amount and all factors of the case are considered including scarring, residual symptoms and permanent disability.
  5. Violation of state and federal laws by all parties involved in the claim.

 

Georgia Motorcycle Accident Claims

Motorcycle accidents often result in more catastrophic injuries such as quadriplegia, traumatic brain injury and death. In many cases motorcycle riders are left with permanent injuries, outrageous medical bills and lifelong emotional damages. If you've been involved in an accident, you have the right to file a claim against a negligent driver if you can prove 3 things.

 

Negligence - The driver failed to use due care when operating his automobile.

 

Causation - The negligence of the driver caused the accident.

 

Damages - You suffered damages as a result of the accident.
