Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Brunswick

When riding a motorcycle, your body is basically the only other protection you have besides your helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, and eye protection. That explains why victims of accidents involving motorcycles tend to suffer serious injuries.

If such a scenario sounds too familiar, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries or losses. However, insurance companies and their adjusters are not usually easy to deal with, especially given the societal bias against motorcyclists. They are often regarded as negligent and reckless on the road, making it difficult to prove their case.

That’s why you need an experienced Brunswick motorcycle accident lawyer to represent you against the other party. And if you hire one from Morgan and Morgan, rest assured your case is in safe hands.

What Makes Motorcycle Accident Cases Particularly Difficult?

These cases often involve unique challenges, most notably the fact that motorcyclists are more vulnerable to serious injuries due to the lack of protective barriers compared to standard cars. Also, proving negligence can be more complex, as there may be biases against motorcyclists. More than half of the time, when these accidents happen, insurance companies and claims adjusters often assume that motorcyclists are to blame.

Additionally, the extent of injuries and associated costs can be significantly higher than in standard injury cases. That also means you’ll need a specialist to handle your case, not just any general personal injury lawyer.

Against Whom Do I File a Claim With?

In Brunswick, you would typically file a claim against the party or parties responsible for the accident. That’s because Georgia is an at-fault state when it comes to filing a traffic accident claim.

The “at-fault” party, in this context, could be another driver, a motorcycle or parts manufacturer, a government entity responsible for road maintenance, or even a construction company.

What Is the Statute of Limitations on Motorcycle Accident Cases in Georgia?

The statute of limitations for motorcycle accident cases in Georgia is usually set at two years from the date of the accident. It's important to file within this timeframe. If you don’t, you’ll lose your right to sue.

What If I Was Partly at Fault for the Motorcycle Accident?

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages if you were partly at fault, as long as your fault is less than 50%. With that in mind, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
