Duluth Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

 

Welcome to Van Sant Law, your trusted Georgia personal injury law firm and experienced Duluth motorcycle accident lawyer. We understand the allure of riding your motorbike on Georgia’s warm, sunny roadways — and we also understand the risks that can come with motorcycle accidents. We’ve been working with injured accident victims in Duluth and the surrounding areas since 2003, helping them recover the compensation they’re owed for their injuries. When you choose to work with our attorneys, you can be confident we have the knowledge you need and experience you can rely on during this challenging time.

Understanding Motorcycle Accidents

A variety of factors can contribute to or cause motorcycle accidents. Sometimes, accidents are clearly due to the negligence of either the motorcyclist or another vehicle’s driver. In other cases, weather can impact road conditions or improperly maintained roadways may play a role in causing an accident.

Because the cause and responsible parties are not always immediately clear, it is important to consult with a skilled local attorney who can investigate, gather evidence, and help you understand your rights.

Do You Have a Case?

During your initial consultation, your motorcycle accident attorneys will ask you questions to determine whether you have a valid claim for damages and, if so, to identify the potential value of your case. 

To make the most of that initial meeting, be prepared to provide the following information:

  • Details about the accident, including date, time, and location
  • Police report
  • Contact information/insurance information for the other driver(s)
  • Information about the weather and road conditions when the accident occurred
  • Names and contact information for witnesses
  • Photos/videos of the accident scene, if available
  • Repair estimates for your motorcycle
  • Medical bills and documentation of the treatment you received
Establishing Fault

One of the most important elements of motorcycle accident claims is being able to prove that another party acted negligently, carelessly, or was otherwise responsible for the accident. That can sometimes be as simple as documenting that another driver was speeding, was operating their vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs or failed to obey traffic laws. Your attorney will work hard to determine liability and establish fault in your case.

You may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. However, the amount you might receive will be less than if the other driver was entirely responsible. For example, if the other driver was speeding but you were not wearing your motorcycle helmet, the defendant may claim that you have some liability too, and that your damages award should be reduced proportionately.

Important Considerations

In most cases, victims injured in Georgia personal injury claims have up to two years from the date of the accident in which to file claims for compensation. It is important to understand that waiting too long to act could mean you are barred from obtaining compensation for your losses.

At Van Sant Law, our attorneys work on a contingency basis. This means that you don’t pay anything upfront when you work with us! We only get paid when we are successful in helping you obtain the compensation you deserve.

Potential Compensation

After being injured in a motorcycle accident, you are likely facing expenses you didn’t expect. Your Van Sant Law legal team will fight for your rights to recover all the compensation you are owed, which may include:

  • Medical expenses already incurred, as well as anticipated future expenses
  • Lost wages/income
  • Repair or replacement for your damaged motorcycle and other personal property
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
