Frequently Asked Questions

Does Georgia have a motorcycle helmet law?
Yes. Georgia requires all motorcycle riders and passengers to wear helmets that meet DOT standards (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-315). Failure to wear a helmet can be raised by the defense to reduce your damages.
What are the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in Georgia?
Left-turn collisions (drivers failing to yield to oncoming motorcycles), unsafe lane changes, distracted driving, road hazards, and impaired driving are the leading causes. Most are caused by negligent drivers, not riders.
Can I recover if a driver claims they did not see me?
Yes. "I didn't see you" is not a defense to negligence. Drivers have a duty to look for motorcyclists. We use accident reconstruction experts and witness testimony to prove the driver's negligence regardless of this claim.
