Motorcycle Accidents in Georgia
If you've been injured in a car or motorcycle crash that was someone else's fault, you may want to consider suing the negligent driver. By filing a personal injury claim, you may be able to receive compensation for your losses and ensure that justice is served. It can be intimidating to go through the lawsuit process, but it could ultimately be worth the effort - not only for the financial benefits, but also for the sense of closure and peace of mind it can bring.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents are often the most dangerous because of the lack of metal frame and safety equipment surrounding the rider compared to what cars and trucks provide. Motorcycle accidents commonly result in serious long-term injuries and unfortunately even death. According to statistics, motorcycle riders are 26 times more likely to die in an accident than those riding in a car or truck. The most common motorcycle accident injuries are head, neck and spine injuries, abrasions, broken bones, and internal organ damage.

Ouch My Neck!
Head and neck injuries are among the most severe motorcycle accident injuries since they often involve traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord damage. Head injuries can range from simple bruises and contusions to more serious concussions and skull fractures. Neck injuries can include whiplash, which can cause pain, stiffness and a loss of motion in the neck area for weeks or months after an impact. Spine injuries may lead to paralysis or other lifelong disabilities due to nerve damage.
Road Rash
Abrasions occur when skin is scraped off as a result of contact with asphalt or other objects that may be present on the road at the time of an accident. Abrasions are also known as “road rash” because they typically occur when riders fall off their motorcycle onto the pavement. These abrasions can range from mild scrapes and cuts to more serious lacerations that require medical attention. In some cases, abrasion wounds can become infected which could lead to additional medical complications if left untreated. Broken bones are another common motorcycle accident injury that can occur when riders experience sudden deceleration due to being thrown from their motorcycle during an impact with another vehicle or object. Broken arms, legs and ribs are all common outcomes of motorcycle accidents depending on how severe the impact was and where a rider’s body was located at the time of impact relative to other elements on the road like guardrails, other vehicles, natural obstacles (trees, rock formations, etc.).After a motorcycle accident, it is highly recommended that you retain an experienced Personal Injury Attorney.

Internal Damage You May Not Notice
Internal organ damage is also common and often emergent during motorcycle accidents due to blunt trauma sustained during impacts with other vehicles or objects along the side of the road like trees or telephone poles. Blunt trauma occurs when force is applied directly onto internal organs such as the heart or lungs which can cause severe damage depending on how much force is applied during an impact event. Additionally, motorcycle accidents often involve secondary impacts such as flipping over their motorcycle (high-side) which may also cause organ damage in addition to broken bones if riders land incorrectly after being thrown from their motorcycle during an initial collision event with another vehicle or object on the roadway surface itself. Alternatively, a rider who high-sides may be just ahead of their motorcycle when it flips and then may have internal organ damage complicated by crush injuries sustained after the initial impact.
Motorcycle Safety Equipment
Motorcycle safety equipment has improved but it is still far from perfect. Riders may still suffer severe or deadly injuries during adverse weather, high speed, interactions with other drivers, or when facing other road dangers. Motorcycle accidents can occur anytime, in any weather conditions, but certain factors can increase the risk of a dangerous ride. For example, since motorcycles are smaller than cars, trucks, or vans, some drivers may not notice them, hence the saying, "Look twice, save a life". Additionally, some drivers may not be as attentive to the road and other vehicles (including motorcycles) as they should be, further increasing the dangers of motorcycle riding.
Understand Your Options After A Motorcycle Accident
Insurance companies are driven by profit, so they may attempt to minimize the amount they must cover for damages. Even if you were not responsible for the incident, it is likely that an insurance company will seek a way to reduce their costs and shift blame onto you as a result. Keep in mind that agents and adjusters of these companies do not have your interests at heart - rather, they prioritize safeguarding their employer's money. They can go to extreme lengths to achieve this goal.
