The minutes after a motorcycle accident can shape your health, finances, and future claim. Follow these steps to protect yourself and maximize your recovery under Georgia law.
| 1. Get Medical Care Immediately Call 911 and get checked—even if you feel okay. Hidden injuries like concussions or internal bleeding may not appear for hours. Your ER or urgent care records become key evidence in your claim. |
| 2. Report the Crash Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-273) requires you to report any crash with injury or $500+ damage. Request the crash report number and responding officer’s info. |
| 3. Document the Scene Take wide and close-up photos of all vehicles, skid marks, traffic lights, and weather. Save your helmet, riding jacket, and gear—they can help prove impact severity. |
| 4. Gather Witness Info Independent witnesses can make or break liability disputes. Collect names, phone numbers, and quick notes or recordings while memory is fresh. |
| 5. Be Wary of Insurance Adjusters Never give a recorded statement before speaking with a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts—even when they sound friendly. |
| 6. Call a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Early Evidence disappears quickly. Thompson Law can send preservation letters, secure black-box data, and protect deadlines (Georgia’s statute of limitations is usually 2 years). |

After a serious motorcycle crash in Atlanta, it’s normal to have questions about medical bills, lost wages, and who is responsible.
Our Atlanta Motorcycle Accident Lawyer team provides clear, practical answers about liability, insurance coverage (including UM/UIM), deadlines,
and the steps that protect the full value of your claim.
There’s no fixed number. Value depends on who was at fault, the severity of your injuries, medical treatment and prognosis, lost income, future care needs, and insurance coverage (including UM/UIM). Your lawyer will document medical records, financial losses, and daily-life impacts to support a full compensation demand.
Yes. Georgia law requires DOT-compliant helmets for all riders and passengers. Eye protection may also be required. Not wearing a helmet can complicate certain injury claims, but it doesn’t automatically bar recovery. Lawyers focus on whether helmet use would have affected the specific injuries.
Georgia uses modified comparative negligence. If you’re less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages (reduced by your fault percentage). If you’re 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover. An attorney will challenge inflated fault claims with crash reconstruction and evidence.
Notify your insurer, but do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company. Adjusters are trained to minimize claims and may twist your words. Instead, direct them to your lawyer, who will provide information at the right time and protect your case value.
