The Right of Way Argument in Fairburn Motorcycle Accidents
The most common type of motorcycle accident is a left-turn accident. A driver who turns left in front of your motorcycle may leave you almost no time to brake. Georgia law requires turning drivers to “yield the right of way” to approaching vehicles that present an immediate hazard under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-71.
The driver might claim that you approached too quickly or appeared suddenly. We can examine sightlines, impact locations, witness accounts, and available recordings to test that explanation. An accident reconstruction specialist may help establish how much time the driver had to see you.
Our motorcycle accident attorneys in Fairburn also represent riders who are hurt in other types of collisions, such as when motorists follow too closely, change lanes carelessly, or enter traffic without looking. We connect the evidence of the driver’s actions to your crash and injuries.
Preserve What the Crash Left Behind
To build the strongest possible claim for compensation, taking immediate action after a crash is vital. According to safety guidelines from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), preserving physical evidence immediately following a collision drastically improves your ability to demonstrate how the crash occurred:
- Your motorcycle: Ask about preserving it for inspection before repairs change its condition or it is disposed of.
- Riding equipment: Keep your helmet, jacket, boots, and other damaged gear.
- Crash information: Save any photographs you took of the scene, witness contact details, and the police report when available.
- Medical records: Hang onto discharge instructions and tell your providers about new symptoms as they develop. Keep a journal of your daily pain and limitations.
Our team can help coordinate evidence while you concentrate on treatment.
The Lasting Costs of a Motorcycle Injury
Road rash can require skin grafts and leave permanent scars. A crushed ankle or damaged nerve may affect your ability to stand, drive, or perform your job. The potential long-term consequences of your injury must be included in the discussion about compensation. Signing a settlement can end your ability to seek further payment related to the collision. Before resolving the case, we consider the expected course of your recovery.
We review your doctors’ recommendations to identify future procedures, rehabilitation, and assistance you may need at home. For lasting work restrictions, employment records and qualified experts can help explain how the injury affects your earning ability. Your claim may also include physical pain, emotional distress, the loss of activities you previously enjoyed, and property damage.
