What if I am partially at fault?

What should I do after a motorcycle accident?

After a motorcycle accident, the first step you should take is to contact emergency services. Minor injuries may become worse and serious injuries should be treated immediately. Additionally, not seeking medical attention can hurt your case. Next you should contact an experienced Gwinnett County motorcycle accidents lawyer.

Do I have to wear a helmet to operate a motorcycle?

State law in Georgia requires all motorcyclists to wear protective head gear. Additionally, it is in your best interests to wear a helmet because the majority of motorcycle deaths are attributed to head injuries.

Can a defective road cause a motorcycle accident?

While frustrating and unsettling to passenger cars, potholes, and uneven pavement can cause serious injury to motorcyclists.
