Our Macon, GA, Personal Injury Attorneys Represent Motorcycle Accident Victims

If you or your loved one suffered injuries in an accident, you may face significant medical expenses, an extended absence from work, and other financial losses. If you have a severe injury, it can also affect your daily life and overall well-being. 

We understand that taking legal action can seem overwhelming on top of the other burdens that your motorcycle accident caused. However, if you do not pursue a case, you may be left paying out-of-pocket for damages caused by another person’s mistakes. Let the team at Poulin | Willey | Anastopoulo, LLC., fight for you while you focus on your recovery. 

 

We Will Identify and Pursue Your Damages

Our motorcycle accident attorney in Macon, GA, can review your monetary losses, help you estimate future accident-related damages, and pursue fair awards for your pain and suffering. Compensation may include:

• Past and future medical expenses. We can seek compensation for your current medical bills and awards for necessary future treatment. Damages may include emergency transportation and services, medical procedures and follow-up care, physical and cognitive rehabilitation, medications, mobility aids, long-term health care services, and life care expenses. 
• Lost income. Our lawyers can recover income lost due to your injury, including back pay, benefits, bonuses, tips, and other earnings. If your injury forces you to reduce your hours, change jobs, or you can no longer work in any capacity, we can pursue compensation for your future lost wages and loss of your earning capabilities. 
• Property damages. We can secure awards to pay for motorcycle repairs or purchase a replacement vehicle if the damages are a total loss. We can also pursue the value of other damaged personal property, including navigation equipment, safety equipment, cell phones, jewelry, and electronics. 
• Non-economic damages. Non-economic damages compensate motorcycle accident victims for the mental, emotional, and physical consequences of their injuries. Our lawyers can seek awards for permanent and disabling injuries, severe and chronic pain, scarring, disfigurement, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, depression, and other quality-of-life reductions. 
• Wrongful death awards. According to the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS), nearly 200 motorcycle accident fatalities occurred in Georgia in 2020, and motorcycle accident deaths have increased by more than 20 percent statewide since 2017. If your loved one died from a motorcycle injury, we can pursue wrongful death compensation for their qualifying survivors. Awards may include medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost income, and non-economic compensation. 

 

We Will Prove a Negligent Driver Caused Your Crash

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that about one-third of motorcycle, collisions occur because of a motorist turning into the path of an oncoming motorcycle. Crashes of this type are especially likely at intersections and when drivers make left-hand turns. Other driving behaviors that could lead to an accident include:

• Tailgating a motorcycle
• Lane splitting or passing a motorcycle too closely (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-312(a) gives motorcycles the right to the full use of a lane)
• Speeding or driving too fast for current conditions
• Distracted driving (texting, grooming, eating, or fiddling with vehicle controls)
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Failure to yield the right-of-way 
• Failure to stop at a marked intersection

If another motorist’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful actions caused your collision, our Macon motorcycle accident lawyer will establish liability and prove another party owes you compensation. Our team can hire and work with subject matter experts who can testify on your behalf, locate and interview witnesses, and collect case evidence, including surveillance videos, police reports, medical records, and more. 

We will do the work necessary to build a robust case while you concentrate on your health and your loved ones. 

 

We Will Handle Case Details and Communicate With the Involved Parties

Working with an attorney can remove the insurance or legal burden from your shoulders. Our lawyers will prepare and file your case paperwork, manage deadlines, and attend meetings and court appearances in your place when possible. 

Our Macon motorcycle accident attorney will also represent you during case-related communications, protecting you from lowball settlement offers and pressure to settle for less than you deserve. Additionally, letting us speak with insurers and opposing counsel ensures you do not accidentally say something they could use against you. 

We will approach every aspect of your case with one goal—to get financial awards for you and your family. This includes negotiating for a favorable settlement or representing you at trial if necessary.
