Yeah, motorcycle wrecks are often very hard cases to handle. Almost invariably, the people who hit motorcycles will tell you they never even saw the motorcycle before it happened. Motorcycles a lot of time, they get blamed for speeding, they get blamed for weaving in and out of traffic they’re often, again, very difficult cases because the people who cause the wrecks with motorcycles often blame the motorcycle rider themselves. We handled a case in north Georgia where a motorcycle rider was coming around a curve and a person took a left turn in front of the motorcycle. Unfortunately, the girl who took the left turn in front of the motorcycle stated she never saw him and the motorcycle hit the car and the motorcycle rider perished in the collision.
And again, they’re very hard cases to handle because or I should say they’re very unique cases to handle because of the complexities of the lines of sight and the speed involved. And so those cases are they’re often rewarding when we’re able to get recovery for the riders because just as a group motorcycle riders are often criticized for the way they drive. So again, they’re difficult cases but they’re very rewarding when you’re able to get a recovery for the riders.

Marietta, GA personal injury attorney Michael R. Braun talks about a couple motorcycle accident cases he’s been involved in. He explains that motorcycle accidents present unique challenges in legal cases. It is quite common for the individuals responsible for these accidents to claim that they never saw the motorcycle prior to the collision. Motorcyclists are often subjected to blame for speeding or weaving through traffic. These factors make handling motorcycle accident cases particularly difficult, as the fault is often shifted onto the motorcycle riders themselves.
I recall a case we handled in north Georgia involving a motorcycle rider who was traveling around a curve when a driver made a left turn in front of the motorcycle. Tragically, the driver claimed she never saw the motorcycle, resulting in a collision that took the life of the rider.
These cases are intricate due to the complexities involved in assessing lines of sight and the speed of the vehicles. The unique nature of motorcycle accidents makes them challenging to navigate. Additionally, motorcycle riders as a group often face criticism for their driving behaviors.
Nevertheless, when we are successful in obtaining compensation for motorcycle riders in such cases, it brings a great sense of reward. Despite the difficulties, securing a recovery for these riders is deeply satisfying. It serves as an opportunity to challenge the biases and misconceptions surrounding motorcycle riders and to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve for their losses.
