If you've been injured in a motorcycle accident in Georgia, here’s what you need to know to protect yourself, your health, and your case.
A motorcycle accident can turn your life upside down in a heartbeat. One minute you’re enjoying the open road—and the next, you’re facing painful injuries, expensive medical bills, and uncertainty about what comes next. At The Sullivan Law Firm, we know the unique risks motorcyclists face, and we’re here to help you protect your rights when the unthinkable happens.
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Georgia, here’s what you need to know to protect yourself, your health, and your case.
Motorcycle riders don’t have the same protection as drivers in cars, which means even low-speed crashes can cause serious injuries. Whether you walked away from the wreck or were taken by ambulance, get a full medical evaluation as soon as possible.
Some injuries—like internal bleeding or traumatic brain injuries—aren’t obvious right away. Getting treated early protects your health and strengthens your personal injury claim.
No matter how minor the accident may seem, always call law enforcement. A police report provides an official record of the motorcycle crash and can help establish key facts, such as who was involved, what happened, and who may be at fault.
This report is one of the first documents insurance companies (and lawyers) will look at when reviewing your case.
From doctor visits to physical therapy, lost wages to prescription costs—document it all. The more records you keep, the stronger your case will be.
It also helps to write down how your injuries are affecting your day-to-day life. Can you not drive? Missed work? Can’t pick up your child? That matters—and we’ll help make sure that matters in your case.
After the accident, you’ll likely get a call from the other driver’s insurance company. They might sound friendly—but they’re not on your side. They’re trained to get you to say something they can use to minimize your claim or deny it altogether.
Don’t admit fault. Don’t give a recorded statement. And don’t accept a settlement offer without talking to a lawyer. At The Sullivan Law Firm, we handle all communication with insurance companies on behalf of our clients.
Motorcycle accident cases aren’t the same as car accidents. Jurors, insurance companies, and even law enforcement sometimes have biases against motorcycle riders, assuming the biker was speeding or reckless. That’s where we come in.
At The Sullivan Law Firm, we know how to fight back against these assumptions. We’ll:
In Georgia, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. That might seem like plenty of time, but the sooner you act, the better.
Waiting too long could make it harder to gather evidence—or worse, make you ineligible for compensation.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible to recover damages for:
