Atlanta Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

A motorcycle can be an economical, enjoyable way to get around Atlanta, but these benefits certainly come with a risk. Motorcycle drivers suffer disproportionate levels of injuries and accidents, and according to the NHTSA, motorcycle fatalities accounted for 14% of all traffic fatalities, while motorcycles only account for 3% of all registered vehicles in the United States, and 0.6% of total miles driven. As these statistics indicate, there are inherent risks to operating a motorcycle that you must understand before taking to the open roads.

No matter how safe and defensive a motorcycle rider may be, they are always at the mercy of the passenger vehicle drivers that they share the road with. Unmarked lane changes, left turns, and drunk drivers are some of the biggest dangers to motorcycle riders today, but the list of risks is much longer than these.
