What Makes Motorcycle Accidents Different?
Car, bus, and truck occupants are “wrapped” inside a vehicle that provides some measure of safety to those travelers. Motorcyclists and their passengers, however, are entirely exposed, so in a collision, they are quite likely to sustain the most devastating types of injuries.
After a motorcycle accident, and especially if you have suffered internal injuries, multiple fractures, a traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury, or an injury that requires amputation, you will need the maximum of amount of compensation that is available.
A Savannah motorcycle accident attorney at Spaulding Injury Law can help. You may also need a medical expert who can explain the full extent of your injuries and/or an accident reconstruction specialist who can explain what happened and which party should be held accountable.
What Kinds Of Motorcycle Accidents Does Our Savannah Law Firm Handle?
Motorcyclists deal with a number of safety concerns. However, most of the motorcycle accident cases we handle are caused by:
- Left turns: More than forty percent of car-vs.-motorcycle collisions happen when either a motorcyclist or a driver is making a left turn.
- Other drivers with obstructed visibility: When a driver’s vision is obstructed by buildings, parked cars, or any other obstacle, a driver may slowly roll into a traffic lane in front of an oncoming motorcyclist.
- Debris on the road: Motorcycles only have two wheels, so potholes, oily pavement, and debris on the road can pose a considerable threat to a motorcyclist.
- Inexperience: It takes a long time to become an experienced motorcycle operator. New riders need to avoid the busiest streets and highways. And if you have never taken a motorcycling safety course, it’s a smart idea.
- Negligence: Negligence includes reckless driving, speeding, and driving while impaired. While negligence causes all sorts of accidents, the injuries caused by negligence in a motorcycling accident are apt to be devastating – or worse.
What Safety Measures Can A Motorcyclist Take To Prevent Another Accident?
Experienced riders know what precautions to take, but if you are new as a motorcyclist, these suggestions may help you avoid the most serious motorcycle accidents:
- Wear a helmet. Georgia is one of only twenty states that require all motorcyclists to wear a helmet whenever they ride. Unlike cars, motorcycles offer their users no physical protection whatsoever, so a helmet is imperative.
- Boots, gloves, and a motorcycle jacket are also essential for every motorcycle rider.
- Negligent drivers run stop signs and traffic signals every day. When traffic lights change, be certain that the vehicles crossing in front of you come to a full stop before you move through the intersection.
- Blind spots cause too many motorcycle collisions. It is always wise to presume that a driver can’t see you unless that driver directly acknowledges you in some way.
Of course, the entire burden of safety doesn’t fall exclusively on the motorcyclist. Truck and automobile drivers also have an obligation to keep their eyes on the road and to be particularly aware of bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians.
How Can A Motorcycle Accident Attorney Help A Victim Of Negligence?
Particularly if you have suffered catastrophic injuries because of a vehicle driver’s negligence, you are going to need the maximum amount of available compensation. In order to succeed with your lawsuit, you must be advised and represented by a qualified accident attorney.
A good accident lawyer can assess the evidence in your case, study the medical and police reports, and provide the legal advice that you will need.
What Can You Expect To Receive As A Victim Of Negligence?
If you and your attorney can prove that you were injured by negligence and that you are entitled to compensation, you will be reimbursed for your medical bills, lost wages, and more.
Personal injury attorneys Theodore Spaulding and Jeremy Hayes routinely represent motorcyclists and others who have sustained serious injuries because of negligence. We frequently call on medical and accident reconstruction experts to prove the claims of our clients.
