Most motorcycle accident claims hinge on proving the other driver simply didn’t look — a left turn in front of you, a lane change into your path. We build that proof with witnesses, skid marks, and impact analysis, not assumptions about riders.
⚖️ Legal Information
Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) still applies: you can recover as long as you’re less than 50% at fault. Wearing proper gear or a helmet doesn’t excuse a driver who violated your right of way.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Can I recover damages if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
Possibly. Georgia requires helmets for most riders and passengers, and it may factor into comparative fault, but it doesn’t erase a negligent driver’s responsibility for causing the crash.
2What if the driver who hit me fled the scene?
You may have a claim through your own uninsured motorist coverage if you carry it. Reporting the crash to police right away strengthens a hit-and-run claim.
3Do motorcycle accident cases settle for less because I was on a bike?
They shouldn’t — value depends on your injuries and damages, not your vehicle. We build cases with objective evidence specifically to counter that kind of bias.
⚖️ Liability & Fault in Tennille
Georgia follows modified comparative negligence (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) — you can recover as long as you’re less than 50% at fault, with your award reduced by your share. Insurance companies sometimes lean on bias against riders instead of the facts; we don’t let that stand.
