When Should I Hire a Lawyer?
As a general rule, if at any time you do not feel comfortable handling your claim on your own, for any reason, you should consult with and hire a lawyer. Beyond that, there are no hard and fast rules. We have come up with a few of our own that we advise potential clients on to help them make a decision whether to hire us or not. Below are a few of those. If you were not injured in the accident and therefore only have a property damage claim, you likely do not need to hire a lawyer. This is because insurance companies typically do not play games with the value of the property damage.
If you were injured in the accident then it is more likely that you will want to hire an auto accident lawyer. As your claim increases in value, so does the chances that the insurance company is going to dig in and fight to minimize your claim as much as possible. So if you have bills over $10,000.00 or found out you have a major injury like a herniated disc or broken bone, it is probably time to hire a lawyer.
It’s beneficial to hire a lawyer that’s familiar with your local court systems. Knowing how the courts work, whether it’s directly in Atlanta or in Fulton County is always a benefit that is typically exclusive to lawyers.

Riding your motorcycle around the city on a beautiful day is one of the most enjoyable and visceral experiences you can have. Unfortunately however, with that freedom and enjoyment comes a high degree of vulnerability to reckless drivers.
The danger to the motorcycle riding community is on the rise throughout Georgia as well, as evidenced by the steady increase in fatalities across the state since 2017 when we had 139 motorcycle fatalities to 2020 when there were 179. This 29% increase in motorcycle fatalities over 4 years is alarming and shows that more steps need to be taken to protect riders in Atlanta and throughout the state.

You can be certain as you take legal action, that the lawyers on the other side are doing their research on your lawyer and asking questions like; How experienced is this law firm in cases like this? Do they have a track record of success in motorcycle accident cases? Most importantly; Are they trial lawyers or are they looking to settle quickly (and possibly cheaply)?

Frequently Asked Motorcycle Accident Questions
The following are some common questions that victims involved in a motorcycle accident have.
For answers to your specific questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our legal team directly.
Who Should Cover The Costs Of My Motorcycle Accident?
You are eligible to have someone else cover your medical bills and other losses if you can show that their negligence led to your motorcycle crash. There are many forms of negligence that can lead to motorcycle accidents, such as:
- Distracted driving
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Speeding
- Running red lights
- Aggressive driving
- Drowsy driving
- Failure to yield
- Improper lane changes
If another driver’s conduct caused the motorcycle crash, that driver should be responsible for any harm you suffered. In some cases, other parties might be liable as well, such as the employer of a driver on the job. The best way to know who should cover your losses is to have a motorcycle accident attorney review your case.
How Do I Get The Compensation I Deserve For My Motorcycle Injuries?
Even if someone else caused your accident, you cannot expect a check to simply arrive in the mail. Instead, you must take action to seek the compensation you deserve, which generally involves filing insurance claims against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy. You should demand the full value of your past and future losses from the insurer, which is a complicated calculation. Never risk asking for less than you need – have a trusted attorney make this calculation for you.
The insurance company will likely make a settlement offer, which will likely be far too low. This is a jumping-off point for negotiations, and you should never accept an insurance offer without the help of an injury lawyer. If your attorney cannot negotiate a fair settlement, you might need to take the case to civil court by filing a personal injury lawsuit. A skilled attorney will identify when this is the right move in your case.
The Insurance Company Said I Don’t Need a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer. Should I believe them?
Many insurance companies will advise claimants that legal representation is unnecessary. This is a tactic they use to minimize payments. Insurance adjusters know that they can often get unrepresented claimants to accept far less than those with attorneys. This is why you should not believe them when they say there is no need to call a lawyer. You always want a motorcycle accident attorney advocating for your rights to the insurance company.
There is no need to worry about cost, as our attorneys only get paid if you do. There is nothing to lose by discussing your situation with our Atlanta motorcycle accident attorneys today.
What Are The Most Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries Our Law Firm Handles?
Some of the most common injuries that motorcyclists sustain in a collision are road rash, biker’s arm, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, crushed limbs, and fractured bones. Some of these injuries will continue to affect the victim’s life for months or years following the accident.
It’s possible that the victim may not ever recover from some of these injuries. Because of this, it’s important that you seek legal representation after a motorcycle accident to determine if you can recover compensation by filing a personal injury claim.
