Motorcycle Accidents in the Atlanta Metro

After an accident involving an injury on a motorcycle, you will be fighting a battle on two fronts. Not only do you have to work through the physical recovery, but you will also have to pursue compensation for your injury through whatever insurance policies are available. The insurance coverage that is available to you will depend on both the policies that you and any other involved driver purchased (commonly referred to as “coverage”), as well as the nature of the accident (who was at fault, etc). The insurance company will work hard to delay, de-value and in many cases outright deny your claim.

Motorcycle operators and passengers are faced with a variety of safety challenges. Motorcycles are not as visible in mirrors and can fit into other cars’ blind spots very easily. The lack of personal protection around a motorcycle is obviously a huge factor in accidents involving other vehicles. Motorcyclists also are not always given the space and respect they deserve from other vehicles. Cars encroaching on the lane a motorcycle is using is fairly common and can cause accidents.

Georgia state law requires that motorcyclists carry $25,000 each for both bodily injury and property damage. However, in today’s medical world that $25,000 might be spent on the ambulance ride alone. Typically the road to recovery involves figuring out what other insurance policies can be held responsible, and then fighting the insurance companies to get them to pay.
