George McCranie Law Firm›
Helping Motorcycle Accident Victims Receive Fair Compensation for Their Injuries In any personal injury lawsuit, the other driver’s insurance company will try to lay the blame at your feet (at least partly) for causing the accident. In Georgia, this is a very effective method of reducing the insurance company’s liability to the extent of nullifying it entirely. In cases where the other driver’s insurance adjuster proves that you are at least 50% at fault for an accident, that is a bar to you recovering any damages whatsoever. With motorcycle accidents, there is an added dimension to this. Motorcyclists are not necessarily known for their defensive driving. Insurance adjusters therefore often exploit this prejudice when there is an accident. They will claim that you were speeding, which added to your injuries. They may also claim that you were “lane splitting” or passing between two cars. These claims often puts an added burden on you, the plaintiff, to prove your case. For that reason, you need an experienced motorcycle accident attorney who will present a fully researched and complete complaint to the insurance company and the court. We can help you build a case that takes into account potential defenses that rely on unfair prejudices against motorcycle riders. At The George Mc Cranie Law Firm we can prepare your case to be trial-ready, and help you increase your chances of receiving a fair settlement.
