Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are a serious problem in Atlanta and throughout the state of Georgia. In fact, motorcycle accidents are 26 times more likely to result in death than car accidents. According to DDS, in 2019, (motorcycle drivers represented over 10% of the total number of traffic fatalities. They also represented over 20% of the total number of fatalities). The lack of protection that motorcycles offer their riders makes them vulnerable in a crash.

Reasons For Motorcycle Accidents

There are several reasons for the high number of motorcycle accidents in Georgia. One reason is that many drivers do not see motorcyclists as they drive, because they are much smaller than cars. This can lead to drivers turning in front of motorcyclists or pulling out into their path without seeing them.

Another reason for the high number of motorcycle accidents is that motorcyclists are often going faster than cars, but they still have the same rights and privileges on the road. This can lead to drivers not giving motorcyclists the room they need to avoid a crash.
