Introduction
Motorcycle accidents often lead to devastating injuries due to the rider’s lack of protection. While many crashes are caused by careless or distracted drivers, victims often face bias and blame when filing claims. At Singh Toro Law, we stand up for injured motorcyclists across Georgia—fighting to recover full compensation and protect their rights.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Georgia
Most motorcycle crashes are not the rider’s fault. They’re commonly caused by:
- Drivers failing to yield or check blind spots
- Unsafe lane changes or turns
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Sudden stops causing rear-end collisions
- Road hazards (potholes, debris, loose gravel)
Even minor mistakes by other drivers can have life-altering consequences for motorcyclists.
Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
Due to the lack of enclosure, injuries can be severe:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Fractures and crushed limbs
- Severe road rash or burns
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
These injuries often require surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term medical care—making legal compensation essential.
Georgia Laws Affecting Motorcycle Accident Claims
Motorcyclists in Georgia must follow specific regulations:
- Helmets are mandatory under Georgia law (OCGA § 40-6-315)
- Lane splitting is illegal
- Comparative fault applies (you can recover damages if you’re less than 50% at fault)
If you weren’t wearing a helmet, the other party’s insurer may try to reduce or deny your claim—even if the crash wasn’t your fault. That’s why legal representation is critical.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash
- Call 911 and get emergency medical help
- Document the crash (photos, witness info, police report)
- Do not admit fault or speak with the other driver’s insurer
- Seek full medical evaluation for visible and hidden injuries
- Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer before accepting any settlement
Types of Compensation You Can Claim
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Motorcycle repair or replacement
- Disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages (in fatal cases)
