Duluth Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Injured in a Motorcycle Crash Caused by Negligence?
A variety of factors can contribute to or cause motorcycle accidents. Sometimes, accidents are clearly due to the negligence of either the motorcyclist or another vehicle’s driver. In other cases, weather can impact road conditions or improperly maintained roadways may play a role in causing an accident.
Because the cause and responsible parties are not always immediately clear, it is important to consult with a skilled local attorney who can investigate, gather evidence, and help you understand your rights.

Georgia Motorcycle Laws
Motorcyclists in Georgia are subject to specific laws designed to improve safety. Some key regulations include:
- Helmet law: All motorcyclists and passengers in Georgia are required to wear helmets that meet Department of Transportation (DOT) standards.
- Lane splitting: Riding between lanes of traffic (lane splitting) is illegal in Georgia.
- Licensing: Riders must obtain a Class M license to operate a motorcycle legally.

Failure to follow these laws can not only endanger riders but also impact liability and compensation in a personal injury claim. Our Duluth motorcycle accident lawyers will examine all aspects of your case, including compliance with applicable laws.

-
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Georgia?In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, it's best to consult an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
-
What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet during the crash?Not wearing a helmet may affect your ability to recover certain damages, especially if you suffered head or facial injuries. However, it does not automatically bar you from recovering compensation. Let our attorneys evaluate the details.
-
Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault?Yes. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault, though your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
-
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
No. Insurance adjusters may try to get you to admit fault or accept a low settlement. Always speak with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer before giving a statement or signing anything.
-
How much does it cost to hire Van Sant Law?Our Duluth motorcycle accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no upfront fees and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
