Motorcycle Accident Crash Attorney
A motorcycle accident can have life-altering repercussions. You may be struggling with an incredibly painful injury, or suffering from emotional trauma. You have the right to recover compensation for these (and other) injuries if someone else is at fault.
However, personal injury cases can be complicated. Not only will you meet resistance from insurance companies every step of the way, but they will do whatever they can to minimize payouts–and maximize their profits. Hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer will not only allow them to handle all the paperwork and stress that come with filing a claim, but will allow you to focus on your recovery and increase the likelihood of retrieving the money you deserve.

Motorcycles are more difficult to spot than other vehicles. Because of this, motorcyclists must always drive defensively. Bikers should never assume that other drivers on the road can see them, specifically drivers of the vehicles in front of them. Motorcycle accidents often happen when a driver:
-
Pulls out of a side street or parking lot in front of a motorcycle
-
Makes an abrupt turn in front of a motorcycle
-
Changes lane in front of a motorcycle
-
Fails to spot the motorcyclist in a passing lane
According to statistics motorcycle crashes have accounted for 7% of Georgia traffic fatalities, a number that is even more significant when you take into account that motorcycles only make up 2% of all registered vehicles in the state.
If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, immediately contact the police to make a report, especially if there is an injury or fatality involved.
If you are the one who is injured, you should seek immediate medical help. Even if your injury appears minor and you do not need immediate care, some injuries are not immediately apparent.
At the scene, you should collect the contact information for the other parties involved, as well as their insurance. You should also collect contact information from witnesses, as investigating police officers don’t always gather that information.
Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer soon after the accident. Our accident lawyers at The Ugwonali Law Firm recommend that you do this before speaking to any insurance carrier.
