While most motorcyclists follow all safety protocols and the rules of the road, there are some who ride their bikes recklessly. Weaving in and out of traffic, speeding, and performing stunts, like wheelies, can put other drivers in danger.
If you have been injured because of a motorcycle crash involving a negligent rider, you may be entitled to financial compensation. The negligent motorcycle rider must be held accountable for the damages they have caused.

How Do You Establish Fault in a Car Crash Involving a Motorcycle?
Motorcycle riders are often victims of car crashes because other drivers are negligent and do not take precautions to avoid collisions.
As mentioned above, there are times when the motorcycle rider is to blame. If a motorcycle rider is careless and participates in reckless behavior, they can cause major crashes.
As your legal team, our responsibility is to prove the motorcyclist is at fault for the crash. We will work to prove the rider caused your injuries and damages because of their reckless behavior.
We will work to establish liability and prove fault by reviewing the following pieces of evidence.
Police report
Eyewitness statements
Expert testimony
Video footage
Photos from the scene of the accident
Medical records
Traffic camera surveillance footage
At Metro Atlanta Law Group, we will perform a thorough investigation of your crash. Evidence is critical for establishing fault and holding the rider liable.
