Motorcycle Accidents Cause Substantial Injuries
Motorcycle accidents almost always cause severe, more extensive injuries than their motor vehicle counterparts, simply because the body is less protected when on two wheels. Because of this, your recovery may take longer, and the financial burden of medical bills, lost wages, and suffering may increase dramatically.
Motorcycle injuries may include:
- Broken bones
- Road rash
- Head trauma
- Brain injury
- Nerve pain
- Muscle pain
- Burns
- Paralysis
- Emotional or mental trauma
Although individual injuries may vary, and each situation is unique, all motorcycle accidents deserve a fair settlement and all victims deserve to recover from their accidents. You should not be punished for someone else’s recklessness or negligent driving. Our team is prepared to fight for the settlement that you deserve.
Do You Have to Wear a Motorcycle Helmet in Georgia?
In Georgia, motorcycle riders are required by law to wear a helmet while riding. Not wearing a helmet can result in you being fined up to $1,000 and/or being sentenced to a year of jail. Although most courts do not impose such high fines, they do have the authority to do so.
The helmet must meet or exceed the safety standards set by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). A helmet that meets these standards has been tested and proven to help provide protection against head injuries in the event of a crash.
Wearing a motorcycle helmet is not only required by law, but it is also a good idea for the safety of the rider. Helmets can greatly reduce the risk of head injuries and can save lives in the event of a crash. Head injuries are the most common cause of death in motorcycle accidents, and wearing a helmet can greatly reduce the risk of such injuries.
In addition to a helmet, riders should also wear other protective gear, such as gloves, boots, and jackets. These items can provide protection against road rash and other injuries. Protective gear can also make the rider more visible to other motorists, which can help prevent accidents. It is important for riders to choose the right gear and to wear it properly. A helmet that does not fit properly may not provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.
