Atlanta Personal Injury Attorney, Joseph P. McClelland, knows that motorcycle accidents are usually more severe than car accidents. Motorcycle injury lawyers know that these cases must be treated differently for litigation or settlement. These types of cases are the most likely to leave the person injured and not fully compensated. It is key to act precisely, diligently, and confidently handling these cases. We handle accidents in Atlanta, Decatur, Stockbridge, McDonough, Griffin, Jackson and Macon.
The obvious reason the bike accidents are more dangerous is that you don’t have a big piece of steel wrapped around you. OK, that was obvious, but let’s start from the beginning. When you wreck your bike, as the police start to arrive, the insurance company may already be alerted and preparing the case.
Time is valuable in motorcycle and tractor trailers accidents. If you have bee injured, call the Georgia Motorcycle Accident Attorney at 770-775-0938.
Motorcycle Accident Negotiations with the Insurance Company
We represent clients as their Atlanta motorcycle accident lawyer, Macon motorcycle accident lawyer and all over the state of Georgia.
Some companies such as Harley Davidson carry additional insurance for their drivers. It is extremely important to talk to a motorcycle accident attorney in Georgia immediately after the accident. Some insurance policies will deny coverage if they are not properly notified within a specific period of time.
The Georgia Supreme Court recently held that the cap on punitive damages was unconstitutional. Therefore, if punitive damages are an issue in the case, they are no longer. Punitive damages may be available if the other driver was charged and/or convicted of drunk driving (DUI), reckless driving, or leaving the scene of an injury accident.
If you are not sure, speak with our attorney about this possibility. Even if punitive damages may not be available, the potential might help the case settle.
