Riders in DeKalb County face a specific kind of danger that has nothing to do with their own skill. A motorcycle occupies a fraction of the visual footprint of a car, and drivers conditioned to scan for cars simply do not register a rider in the next lane. Most motorcycle collisions are caused by a driver who never saw the motorcycle at all.
Our office is on Hugh Howell Road in Tucker. We represent riders injured on Lawrenceville Highway, Mountain Industrial Boulevard, Hugh Howell Road, and the I-285 and I-85 interchanges where traffic volume and speed make riders most vulnerable.
Georgia gives motorcyclists the same rights, protections, and responsibilities as the driver of any other vehicle. A rider injured by a careless driver is entitled to the same full compensation as any other crash victim.
That is not how insurers handle these claims. Their playbook is predictable and it starts before they ever speak to you:
We counter each of these with evidence rather than argument: event data from the other vehicle, scene and roadway documentation, witness statements, reconstruction analysis, and medical testimony connecting the injuries to the mechanism of the crash.
Without a vehicle frame, a rider absorbs the full energy of the collision. We handle cases involving traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage and paralysis, road rash and degloving injuries requiring skin grafting, fractures of the pelvis and long bones, limb amputation, internal injuries, and wrongful death. Where the injury is permanent, we retain life care planners and vocational experts to establish the true future cost.

Georgia generally allows two years from the date of the crash to file suit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Georgia also applies modified comparative fault under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, which reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault and bars recovery entirely at fifty percent or more. Insurers use comparative fault as leverage to force early, undervalued settlements. We build the fault record before that conversation happens.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy is often the difference between a nominal recovery and a meaningful one. We review every policy in the household to find available coverage.
I was not wearing a helmet. Can I still recover? Generally, yes. Helmet use affects the analysis of damages, not the existence of the driver’s duty to drive safely. We address it directly rather than letting the insurer treat it as a bar to recovery.
What if the driver says they never saw me? That statement is an admission of a failure to keep a proper lookout. We use it, and we support it with visibility, sight-line, and conspicuity evidence.
Can you help if the crash happened outside Tucker? Yes. We handle motorcycle claims throughout metro Atlanta and across Georgia, including Augusta, Macon, Decatur, Stone Mountain, and College Park.
