Motorcycle Injuries

Atlanta, Georgia Motorcycle Injury Attorney

104271331Motorcycles have all kinds of pros and cons. On the one hand, the sense of freedom and thrill you get out of riding from Point A to Point B is great. In a single year, a bike, scooter, or motorcycle can save you thousands of dollars on gasoline, cutting your transportation expenses in half.

On the other hand, a motorcycle rider is not only at the mercy of the weather and the elements, but they also lack the protective steel and safety features a car typically provides, making them incredibly vulnerable in an accident. Not only do other drivers fail to pay proper attention to motorcyclists, but some see a motorcycle as a challenge, and deliberately exceed the speed limit and drive recklessly around bikers. Many drivers are distracted or simply don’t see you on the road, and will fail to yield the right of way, which is a leading cause of biking accidents today.

A motorcycle collision or accident of any kind is serious, sometimes resulting in injuries such as brain damage, head trauma, broken bones and skull fractures, concussions, road rash, cuts and scrapes, spine and neck injuries, and loss of limb. Cyclists have a greater risk of accidents with injuries and fatalities than anyone else on the road. Motorcyclists are killed every day in wrecks on U.S. interstates, highways, streets, and roadways. Legally, motorcycle accidents are similar to car and truck accidents. Yet in reality, motorcycle accidents differ greatly from car and truck collisions.

If you drive a motorcycle, you know the dangers you must face every time you ride, and are familiar with the carelessness and indifferent attitude of car and truck drivers in Georgia. Any number of things can cause a wreck:

  • Malfunctions or defects in motorcycle parts
  • Distracted motorists and reckless drivers
  • Big rig, eighteen wheeler, or semi truck side swipes
  • Failure to yield the right of way or getting cut off in traffic


At the Atlanta, Georgia, personal injury law firm of Kirschner & Venker, PC, our team has practiced personal injury and motor vehicle accident law for more than 25 years.

We have handled numerous motorcycle accident injury cases, and are skilled in working with doctors, economists and accident reconstruction engineers to demonstrate liability and negligence, prove damages, and argue for maximum compensation for you. Cases involving motorcycle accident injuries include:

Our client's relative suffered a wrongful death when his motorcycle struck a truck that was backing across a road. We used accident reconstructionists to prove cause and negligence. Our client struck a school bus as the bus pulled out of an intersection. Prior to our work on the case, three other law firms failed to prove negligence in this case. We successfully proved our theory through experts that the bus route required the bus to use intersections that were inherently dangerous for buses.

Each case settled for a substantial six-figure sum.
