Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Valdosta

Representing Motorcyclists Throughout Georgia

Even more than car accidents, motorcycle accidents result in catastrophic personal injuries, including spinal cord injuries, paralysis, brain damage or traumatic brain injury, and major organ injury. They are also more likely to result in the death of a rider or passenger because there is very little protection in the collision.

If you or someone you care about has been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is important to know that you have the same legal rights as the victims of any other motor vehicle accident. However, insurance coverage for a motorcyclist or passenger can be more complicated. Many insurance policies that would normally provide coverage for an automobile collision may have a specific exclusion for motorcyclists.

At Studstill Firm, LLP, we help motorcyclists take action to pursue justice and compensation for their post-accident hardships. Call (229) 515-8900 now.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Drivers that hit motorcyclists—and their insurance companies—will often try to blame the motorcyclist for the crash or claim that they assumed the risk. But as far as Georgia law is concerned, negligence is negligence. Not being able to see the motorcycle victim is not a valid excuse or justification for the wreck. It means that driver was not paying close enough attention to the road and they can still be held responsible for the wreck.

Most of the motorcycle cases we have handled resulted from:

• A driver of a vehicle did not see the biker turning or slowing down in front of the car.
• A car turning left directly in the path of a motorcycle.
• A car changing lanes and sideswiping the motorcycle or forcing it off the road.
• Poor road conditions, including large potholes or inadequate construction signage.
• Defects in motorcycle design or manufacture.
• Negligence of the motorcycle driver (this type of case arises when a passenger on the bike is injured due to the actions of the driver).

The key to success in a motorcycle injury case is to conduct a thorough investigation, and aggressively pursue financial recovery from all insurance sources, including the negligent driver. That’s where our experienced Valdosta motorcycle accident attorneys come in.
