Leonard, Rickman and Holloway, PC: Practice Areas: Motorcycle Accidents
Thousands of motorcycles are registered in Georgia and are popular for recreation and transportation. Motorcycles are fun, fuel efficient, and less expensive than cars. Motorcycles, however, are much more dangerous than cars, and motorcyclists are seriously injured and killed in collisions with cars and trucks. Motorcyclists make up a small percentage of registered vehicles in Georgia but approximately five percent of all highway fatalities each year involve motorcyclists and their passengers.
A collision between a motorcycle and a car or SUV is a gravely unequal contest. A motorcycle itself provides virtually no protection in a crash so the motorcyclist's injuries are likely to be far more serious than those of the vehicle's occupants.
Even when motorcyclists and their passengers use proper safety equipment and clothing they may become injured as a result of faulty highway design or negligent roadway construction or because of defective safety equipment, or a malfunction of the motorcycle.
