Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Macon

Unlike other motorists, motorcyclists do not have airbags, bumpers, or other safety features found in cars and trucks. As a result, accident survivors can face many severe injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Concussions
• Neck injury
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injury
• Lacerations
• Disfigurement
• Burns

As a motorcyclist, your number one defense against injury is wearing a helmet. The state of Georgia estimates helmets saved 72 lives in 2017 and 96 the year before. It’s also the law: Georgia has a universal helmet law, so anyone who rides must wear one or face penalties. Wearing protective jackets, boots, and pants can also help shield your body from injury. 

Also, never drink and ride. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found that 25% of motorcycle riders in fatal accidents were alcohol-impaired — the highest percentage of all motor vehicle operators. Alcohol also played a factor in 37% of single vehicle accidents where a motorcyclist was killed.

If you have suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident involving a negligent driver, you might be eligible to receive compensation. A Morgan & Morgan attorney can help prove your case, taking steps that include:

• Documenting your injuries and motorcycle damage
• Interviewing witnesses
• Using medical records to confirm and prove your injuries
• Checking accident reports and sobriety tests
• Reviewing all motorists’ driving histories

Being involved in a motorcycle accident is traumatic enough. If you're also fighting for compensation, you shouldn't have to go it alone. A Morgan & Morgan attorney can help you fight for damages including medical costs, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
