Atlanta Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Maximizes Your Recovery for Serious Injuries and Wrongful Death

Most Georgia motorcycle accidents occur in metro Atlanta

Motorcycle accidents are 35 times more likely to result in fatalities than automobile accidents, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. The majority of Georgia’s motorcycle-related accidents occur in the metro Atlanta area, where traffic is dense and motorcycles are abundant. At McMenamy Law, our lawyer has helped accident victims win multimillion-dollar settlements for more than 21 years.

Motorcycle crashes most often occur as a result of an automobile driver’s failure to notice the motorcyclist on the road. Motorcycle accidents in Atlanta are also caused by:

  • Speeding
  • Poor weather conditions
  • Potholes
  • Changes in lane heights
  • Running a red light or disobeying traffic signs
  • Failing to use turn signals
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Common injuries in motorcycle accidents

Motorcycle accident victims usually suffer serious injuries that are far more severe than those from the average car accident. Common injuries include road rash, facial fractures and disfigurement, broken bones and burns. Limb amputations, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, head injuries and traumatic brain injuries are among the more serious injuries motorcycle accidents can cause. Fatalities are common with motorcycle crashes. Because of the nature of the injuries motorcycle accidents often cause, damages in these cases can be enormous.

A common misconception is that motorcycle accidents are the fault of a reckless, negligent cyclist. However, most motorcycle crashes result from the negligence of the driver of a car, van or SUV, and could have been avoided if the driver exercised caution while driving. At McMenamy Law, our accident attorney helps recover the maximum damages available for people who have been injured as a result of motorcycle crashes.

What you can recover after a motorcycle crash

When a vehicle driver’s negligence causes a collision with a motorcycle, the driver may be responsible for compensating the injured motorcyclist for any of the following damages:

  • Medical bills
  • Property repair or replacement
  • Pain and suffering
  • Ongoing therapy and treatment
  • Lost wages
