Motorcycles offer freedom and excitement—but they also come with serious risks. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injuries are often severe, the insurance companies push back harder, and the legal process becomes more complex than you might expect.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Georgia, here’s what you need to know—and how Fight Back with Jack can help you protect your rights and recover the compensation you deserve.

Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Dangerous

Unlike cars and trucks, motorcycles offer no physical protection in a crash. Even with a helmet and gear, riders face a high risk of:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Road rash and soft tissue injuries
• Spinal cord damage or paralysis
• Broken bones and disfigurement
• Long-term disability or chronic pain

Sadly, even low-speed crashes can result in life-changing injuries for riders.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Many Georgia motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers—not the motorcyclist. Common causes include:

• Left-turn collisions at intersections
• Drivers failing to check blind spots
• Unsafe lane changes
• Distracted or impaired driving
• Speeding or aggressive driving

Insurance companies may try to blame the motorcyclist, but we know how to investigate and push back with real evidence.

Your Rights After a Motorcycle Accident in Georgia

Georgia is a fault-based state, which means the at-fault driver (or their insurance) is responsible for your damages. You may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills (past and future)
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Motorcycle repair or replacement
• Emotional distress and PTSD

How Long Do You Have to File?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases—including motorcycle accidents—is 2 years from the date of the accident. But the sooner you act, the stronger your case will be. Evidence fades, witnesses move, and medical records can get harder to access over time.

Don’t Let Insurance Companies Lowball You

It’s no secret—motorcyclists are often unfairly stereotyped as reckless. Insurance companies use this bias to delay, deny, or drastically reduce payouts. They may offer you a quick settlement, hoping you’ll take less than you deserve before you know the full extent of your injuries.

Don’t sign anything. Don’t give a recorded statement. Call Jack first.
