FAQ

What should I do if I get in a motorcycle accident in Atlanta?

In the event of a motorcycle accident, seek medical attention immediately and call law enforcement. The police can help you write an official motorcycle collision report, which is valuable evidence for your motorcycle accident claim.

It's also important to collect photographic evidence showing property damage, road conditions, confusing signs, and other relevant information. If you're able, try to gather the other party's driver's license, insurance information, license plate number, and any witness contact information.

Is Atlanta in a no-fault state for motorcycle accidents?

Georgia is an at-fault state for motorcycle accidents, which applies to all accidents in the city of Atlanta. This means the negligent driver responsible for the crash will cover all of the resulting costs. You may be compensated for medical expenses, accident injuries, property damage, lost income, punitive damages, and more.

How do I bring a lawsuit against a negligent driver?

To bring a lawsuit after a motorcycle accident injury, you must prove negligence and causation. Negligence is a failure to act reasonably, such as texting while driving. Causation is proving that the defendant's actions caused the accident. Proving causation can be difficult if other factors were involved, which is why it is crucial to contact an Atlanta motorcycle accident attorney immediately.

Is it possible to receive compensation even if you are not the motorcycle accident victim?

In Georgia, you can file a claim for damages in an accident as long as you're not more than 50% responsible. However, the amount you can recover will be reduced based on your level of fault. Keep in mind that there's no exact way to reduce damages based on fault. A jury will determine fault and adjust damages based on the evidence presented if the case doesn't settle. To navigate these complex cases, it's best to consult an experienced Atlanta personal injury attorney for an evaluation and guidance.

Can a motorcycle passenger also file a claim?

As a passenger on a motorcycle during an accident, you're likely not at fault. You have the right to seek compensation through a personal injury claim. A lawyer can assist with holding the responsible party accountable. In some cases, the same attorney can represent both the motorcycle driver and the passenger. However, there may be instances where a conflict of interest arises.

What is the average settlement for a motorcycle accident in Atlanta?

Settlement information is often kept private, and each case is unique, so it's difficult to arrive at one average amount. Although 75% of personal injury cases settle for less than $30,000, your claim may reach the hundreds of thousands, depending on your situation. A skilled Atlanta personal injury attorney can help you value your settlement, taking into consideration medical expenses, the severity of your accident injuries, property damage, and more.

Is hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer in Atlanta, GA necessary?

While it's not mandatory to hire a lawyer, Atlanta bike crashes often result in serious injuries. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer will be able to unpack what happened and what might happen next. With professional and transparent legal support, you can begin to understand the facts around your Atlanta motorcycle wreck or catastrophic injury and get a sense of how other people have managed their recoveries. With information and support in your back pocket, you will feel empowered to fight for the compensation you deserve.

How much does an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Atlanta cost through Mighty Law?

Mighty Law's motorcycle accident attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means you pay only if you win. We also charge 10% less than the industry average. Cases that settle directly come with a pre-suit fee of 30% or less of the final settlement amount. Cases requiring a lawsuit have a post-suit fee of 36% or less. Again, these fees are well below the industry average.

What does the process of working with Mighty Law look like?

Start by filling out your contact information online or giving our law office a call, and a Mighty Law representative will reach out and look into the specifics of your case. Once we have the information we need, we'll assign you a case manager to collect documents and devise a treatment plan.

Our Atlanta motorcycle accident attorney team will then build your case and file a demand letter with the insurance company. Most claims result in a settlement after various rounds of negotiation, but we may also help you file a motorcycle accident lawsuit if needed.

How long will it take to investigate a claim in Atlanta?

The average length of time for a personal injury claim is 1.5 years. In Georgia, you have 2 years to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit after a motorcycle accident. The length of your claim will depend on a handful of key factors, including the insurance companies involved, the circumstances of the motorcycle crash, and whether you wish to pursue a lawsuit.

Who pays for medical bills in a motorcycle accident in Atlanta?

You or your insurance will most likely pay for medical bills immediately following a motorcycle crash. However, since Georgia is an at-fault state, the responsible driver will ultimately cover all charges. You'll receive reimbursement when your case is resolved.
