Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle accidents can happen in a split second. Knowing what steps to take can help you get through the aftermath more confidently.

Contact Emergency Responders. Always report accidents to law enforcement. If you or someone else was injured in the accident, let the emergency responders know that medical treatment is needed.
Seek Medical Treatment. It is important to have your injuries evaluated by competent medical providers even if you think your injuries are relatively minor. This medical evaluation can help identify potential injuries so they can be treated appropriately. Victims injured in Cumming frequently visit Northside Hospital Forsyth for evaluation and treatment.
Consult a Personal Injury Law Firm. As soon as you feel up to doing so, schedule a free consultation with a motorcycle accident attorney at Van Sant Law. We will review your case and give you the information you need to make decisions about pursuing your rights.

Proving Negligence in Motorcycle Accident Claims

While identifying responsible parties is a key step in your claim, your lawyer must also be able to prove that a responsible party’s negligence led to the accident. Your lawyer will work to investigate, gather, and review evidence to support your claim.

Evidence will vary, depending on the facts and circumstances of your claim, but often includes some or all of the following:

Police reports/emergency responder reports
Photos and videos of the accident scene
Documentation of your injuries
Witness statements
Medical treatment records
Reports from safety inspectors
Chemical BAC reports
Accident reconstruction reports
Expert witness testimony
Cell phone records

Understanding Georgia’s Shared Fault Laws

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule for motorcycle accident claims and other personal injury cases — the amount of compensation you might receive for your losses may be reduced if the facts show you were partially at fault for the accident.

This means that if someone else is more than 50% responsible for the accident, you can seek compensation from them for your losses; if you were 51% responsible, you cannot file a claim for damages.

In Georgia, shared fault also means that the amount of your damages award will be reduced by the percentage you were at fault. For example, if your claim was valued at $100,000 but the evidence showed you were 30% at fault and the other driver was 70% at fault, your award would be reduced by 30%, or $30,000.

Determining Grounds for a Claim

To obtain compensation for your losses, your attorney must be able to show that someone else’s negligence led to the accident which caused your injuries. The value of your claim will depend on the nature and severity of your injuries, and the impact the accident has had (and is expected to have) on your life.

When you choose to work with Van Sant Law as your local personal injury law firm, our attorneys will work hard to identify all parties who have some responsibility for your injuries. While the other driver is often the primary responsible party, there may be other potential defendants in your motorcycle accident claim. These may include safety inspectors, auto parts manufacturers, government agencies, municipalities, dealerships, and others.
