How Do Most Sandy Springs Motorcycle Accidents Happen?
A motorcyclist must follow Georgia’s traffic laws and motorcycle safety rules, but an accident can happen to the most careful rider due to negligent car and truck drivers who do the following:
- Speed, or drive too fast for poor weather and visibility conditions
- Drive while distracted
- Engage in aggressive driving
- Drink and drive
- Fail to yield the right of way to a motorcyclist
- Improperly merge into a motorcyclist’s lane
- Illegally pass a motorcyclist
- Follow too closely behind a motorcycle
In some cases, other entities may cause or contribute to motorcycle accidents, such as a negligent road maintenance agency that left a hazardous pothole or a road-planning agency that designed a dangerous intersection. Proving the at-fault party’s liability or portion of liability under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence system requires evidence showing that the at-fault party owed a legal duty of reasonable care to the motorcyclist, that they breached this duty of care, that the breach of duty caused the injury, and that the injury victim sustained damages from the injury.
Recovering Damages In a Sandy Springs Motorcycle Accident Case
You don’t have to be left overwhelmed by medical expenses at the same time that you’re trying to recover from serious injuries like fractures, head injuries, back or neck injuries, or painful and scarring road rash. Instead, a successful claim recovers compensation for common damages such as the following:
- Your total past and future medical expenses and out-of-pocket costs
- Total income loss, projected future earnings, or reduced earning ability
- Compensation for pain, suffering, and catastrophic injuries, such as permanent disability, disfigurement, loss of limb, loss of an organ, loss of one of the senses, or diminished quality of life
Wrongful death damages may be available to the family of a fatally injured Sandy Springs motorcycle accident victim.
