Can I recover compensation if I was not wearing a helmet in Georgia?

Georgia law requires all motorcyclists to wear helmets (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-315). Failure to wear a helmet may reduce your recovery under modified comparative negligence if head injuries were worsened. Georgia Auto Law works to minimize your fault attribution and maximize your recovery.

Why are motorcycle accident claims more difficult?

Insurance companies often unfairly blame motorcyclists for accidents. Georgia Auto Law counters this bias with accident reconstruction, thorough medical documentation, and aggressive negotiation to ensure riders receive full and fair compensation.

What damages can I recover after a Georgia motorcycle accident?

You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage (motorcycle repair or replacement), and long-term rehabilitation costs. Severe cases involving TBI or spinal injuries frequently warrant seven-figure claims.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Georgia?

Georgia’s statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the accident date (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

Is lane splitting legal in Georgia?

No. Lane splitting — riding between lanes of stopped or slow-moving traffic — is illegal in Georgia. If you were lane splitting at the time of an accident, the other party’s insurer may use it to argue comparative fault and reduce your recovery.

How much does a Georgia motorcycle accident lawyer cost?

Georgia Auto Law represents motorcycle accident victims on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case. We advance all costs including accident reconstruction, expert witnesses, and court filing fees.
