Motorcycle Accidents in Atlanta, GA

Riding a motorcycle in Atlanta is an exhilarating and liberating experience that is vastly different from driving a typical passenger vehicle. Unfortunately, it can also be dangerous.

Like commercial truck drivers, motorcycle riders receive additional training before hitting the road — for similar reasons. As with truck accidents, the consequences of motorcycle accidents tend to be more severe compared to car accidents.

This is mainly because motorcycle riders have less protection than car passengers and are therefore more likely to get seriously injured in an accident. If you or a loved one suffered catastrophic injuries in a motorcycle accident, you could be facing years or decades of medical bills and other related expenses.

At Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of injury victims in Georgia and have a proven track record of success in securing life-changing settlements. Contact us to schedule a consultation to discuss your case today.

Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Atlanta, GA

In many motorcycle accident cases, the driver of the car is the responsible party. Typically, the driver doesn’t see the motorcycle or assumes the motorcycle needs less
space than it does.

Either of these scenarios can be devastating because a sideswipe that might barely scratch a passenger car can cause catastrophic injuries to a motorcycle rider. When you are facing severe injuries and another party is at fault, you need an experienced lawyer to protect your interests. Having knowledgeable legal representation helps to prevent the insurance company for the other party from denying your claim or trying to undervalue your compensation.

How a Seasoned Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help You

After a motorcycle accident in Georgia, the insurance companies involved try to determine fault.
Georgia fault laws limit who can get compensation based on how much responsibility they have for the accident. If any party is 50% or more responsible, they can’t sue for compensation from the other party.

Since the insurance company of the responsible party will need to pay damages, both companies will seek to prove that their client wasn’t the at-fault party. This means that they will try to find evidence that demonstrates the other party caused the accident.

As your attorneys, we will also investigate the case. We can gather evidence from:

  • Witnesses
  • Video recordings, if they exist
  • Pictures of the accident scene
  • Police reports

By combining this evidence, we can reconstruct the events of the accident to create an accurate picture of fault.

The more evidence we collect, the stronger we can build your case — which is vital in Georgia. You can only get full compensation if the other party is 100% responsible. If you are responsible by any percentage, that percentage will be deducted from any awards you receive.

Negotiating a Settlement

Collecting evidence isn’t the only reason you should turn to a lawyer from Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers. We also can negotiate on your behalf for the best possible settlement.

Over our decades in the legal field, we have consistently secured significant settlements and verdicts for our clients, including notable successes in motorcycle accident cases.

Insurance companies will often negotiate more readily with attorneys than claimants. This is because they know that if you are represented by an attorney, you are more likely to be willing to go to trial if necessary. And when your lawyer has a track record like ours, the insurance company knows that it is in its best interests to make a fair offer.

Navigating Legal Procedures

At Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers, our attorneys have over 50 years of legal experience. This means that we are deeply familiar with the ins and outs of Georgia’s legal system.

This is a crucial advantage when you file a lawsuit. The court system is complex. Just to file a lawsuit, you need to file multiple documents with the court. A small mistake could set your case back weeks or months — or even get your case dismissed.

Our attorneys know what paperwork is due and when it is due. We don’t miss deadlines, and we are familiar with the tactics of opposing counsel. This ensures that your case stays on track while you are focusing on recovering from serious injuries.

And if your case goes to trial, we are ready to relentlessly advocate for you. We have won million-dollar verdicts for our clients through the personalized and creative approach that we bring to every case.

WE OBTAINED $500,000 FOR OUR CLIENT

While our client was making a left-hand turn on his motorcycle, a police officer, engaged in a high-speed chase at speeds exceeding 70 mph on a city street and without using sirens, recklessly changed lanes behind him. This resulted in a severe accident where our client sustained burns to half of his body and multiple bone fractures. Typically, compensation might have been higher, but the settlement was limited due to governmental immunity. The officer involved was criminally charged with reckless driving.
