Motorcycle Injury Lawyer Georgia
Motorcyclists are vulnerable on our roads because they are smaller, lighter, and less stable than cars. Most importantly, when motorcyclists are involved in accidents, they are very likely to sustain serious, grave, and life-altering injuries, i.e., brain damage, eye injuries, broken bones/fractures, road rash, back injuries, neck injuries, disfiguring scars, and separated shoulders, for obvious reasons.

ILLEGAL PASSING

- Passing in a no-passing zone
- Passing at excessive speeds
- Passing on the right
ROAD CONDITIONS
Motorcycles can be more prone to losing control when encountering uneven or irregular road surfaces. These areas must be specially marked. A poorly marked hazard can directly lead to a motorcycle accident injury, particularly around road construction projects.
Examples of poor road conditions for motorcyclists include:
- Repaving of the road or lane
- Improperly repaired pothole or temporary road patch
- Raised surfaces (such as utility access)
- Improper Lane closure
LOW VISIBILITY
INATTENTIVE DRIVERS
A common driver mistake is failing to pay proper attention. Careless drivers often fail to spot the smaller motorcycle amid the traffic flow as it moves into traffic from a stop. The rider may be cut off when pulling into traffic.

CONGESTION / TRAFFIC
When driving in slow-moving, congested traffic, many drivers take their eyes off the road ahead. They tune their radios, make cell phone calls, or even break Georgia law by sending text messages. Stop-and-go traffic often irritates drivers, making them prone to rush ahead or drive aggressively when a space opens in the congestion. An irritated driver acting aggressively is often unlikely to see a motorcycle rider until it is too late.
Examples of congestion or heavy traffic situations that may result in a motorcycle accident include:
- Rush hour traffic on I-75, I-85, I-20, or I-16;
- Beach, resort, National Park, or other destination traffic
- Traffic resulting from road construction
