Who Is Liable for Your Motorcycle Accident in Valdosta, GA, and How to Prove It
Proving liability in a motorcycle accident requires an extensive forensic investigation. Even if it seems obvious that a driver was responsible, you’ll need hard evidence to prove it. Our investigators often find numerous hidden factors that contributed to the accident, resulting in multiple parties being liable, including the following:
- Drivers
- Pedestrians
- Other motorcyclists
- Government entities responsible for road maintenance and signage
- Manufacturers of defective motorcycle or motor vehicle parts
- Trucking companies
- Employers
Our knowledgeable Valdosta car accident lawyers will visit the site and work with our investigative team to analyze road conditions, weather conditions, forensic evidence, vehicle recalls, vehicle safety records, and vehicle ownership. We’ll gather evidence to prove our findings, such as eyewitness statements, video footage, photographs, vehicle black box data, forensic reports, and accident reconstruction reports. We do whatever it takes to make your case. In rare cases, we’ve even purchased wrecked vehicles to preserve evidence.
We always prepare cases for trial from the beginning, giving you a strong negotiating position and the best shot at maximum compensation.
“In motorcycle crashes, it's especially important to gather as much evidence from the scene as possible. That's because a lot of people have preconceived notions about people who ride motorcycles and so it's important to gather as much evidence early on. So that may be going to the scene, taking photographs, interviewing witnesses, and taking your court statements to show that the rider was the one who was operating his vehicle safely and it was the other driver that ultimately caused the crash.”
What Happens to My Claim If I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?
Georgia’s universal motorcycle helmet law requires all riders to wear helmets and eye protection. Not wearing a helmet could impact your motorcycle accident claim, but it should have no bearing on your case if your injuries are not head injuries. If you do suffer a head injury, the insurance company may say the injuries are your fault.
While it is true that not wearing a helmet could contribute to your injuries, it doesn’t automatically bar you from recovering compensation. Georgia’s modified comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation if you are less than 50 percent at fault for your injuries. However, the amount you receive is reduced proportionately by your share of the fault.
Insurance companies are already biased against motorcycle riders, and learning you were riding without a helmet gives them another excuse to pin the blame on you. We know what it takes to overcome prejudice and prove you were less than 50 percent at fault when someone else caused the accident. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident without a helmet, contact us immediately so we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
You May Be Entitled to Substantial Damages for Your Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Valdosta, GA
Motorcycle accident compensation may include economic, non-economic, and punitive damages. Economic damages cover monetary losses, such as current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and motorcycle replacement. Non-economic damages compensate for emotional losses, such as pain and suffering, disfigurement, and emotional distress. Punitive damages are awarded to punish the defendant and deter others. They are only available in rare cases when you have clear and convincing evidence of deliberate misconduct or gross negligence.
The amount you recover will depend on the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical care, and other facts specific to your case. Below are examples of our motorcycle accident case results:
- $5 million for the family of a man killed in a motorcycle accident.
- $1 million for a passenger injured on a motorcycle that was struck by a truck.
- $760,000 for the family of a woman killed in a motorcycle/dump truck collision.
- $400,000 for a rider who suffered severe leg injuries in a motorcycle crash.
- $250,000 for a rider injured when a driver pulled out in front of them.
Types of Valdosta Motorcycle Accident Cases We Handle
One of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents is drivers failing to watch for motorcycles on the road. They may pull out in front of them, merge into their lane, or open a car door into their path. Some drivers follow riders too closely, resulting in rear-end collisions. A rear-end accident is a much more dangerous accident for a motorcycle rider than for the drivers of other vehicles.
Drivers aren’t always the cause of motorcycle accidents. Defective motorcycle tires, defective brakes on cars or big trucks, and other manufacturer defects can also cause motorcycle accidents. Some accidents occur because of potholes or debris in the road. Regardless of what caused your accident, you can count on our experienced motorcycle crash lawyers in Valdosta to find the responsible parties and recover full compensation. We’ve recovered substantial damages for clients with every imaginable injury, including the following:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Severe burns
- Road rash
- Multiple broken bones
- Nerve damage
- Amputations
- Facial scarring
- Neck and back injuries
- Leg injuries
- Wrongful death
How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
The Georgia personal injury statute of limitations generally gives you up to two years to file a motorcycle accident claim. However, don’t wait this long to contact our Valdosta motorcycle accident law firm. The most important evidence may only be available for a short time. Early attorney involvement is crucial to build a strong case.
Insurance companies will promptly investigate and try to undermine your case from the outset. They may pressure you to accept a lowball settlement or make a recorded statement it can use against you. Contacting us early in the process allows us to protect your rights, build a strong case, and file your motorcycle accident lawsuit on time.
