Our Attorney Knows the Most Common Causes of Columbus, GA, Motorcycle Crashes
As an auto accident law firm serving Columbus, GA, we understand how motorcycle accidents happen and the areas where motorcyclists are most at risk. We understand the roles heavy traffic, complex intersections, and high speeds can play in these crashes. We also know the mistakes drivers make that cause these crashes.
Some of the places where Columbus motorcycle crashes might be more likely to occur include:
- Major intersections with heavy traffic flow
- Busy commercial areas with numerous shopping centers and restaurants, such as near Peachtree Mall, Columbus Park Crossing, and The Landings
- I-185, which often has heavy commercial traffic moving at high speeds, increases the risk of truck accidents
- Interstate exit and entrance ramps, where distracted drivers might not see motorcyclists in the next lane
- US Route 27, commonly called Veterans Parkway, especially during rush hour
- Downtown Columbus, where there is heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic and an increased risk of motorcycle vs. pedestrian accidents, too
Drivers who cause these collisions often report that they did not see the motorcycle. This error could occur because they are distracted, drunk, drugged, speeding, bad weather, or another reason. Regardless of the contributing factors, they are still responsible for causing the crash and the resulting injuries. The most common ways these accidents occur include:
- Failure to yield right of way, often while turning left
- Failure to stop for a traffic sign or signal
- Merging before clearing the lane
- Failure to maintain lane
- Rear-end accidents
Our Columbus motorcycle accident lawyer knows how to gather evidence to show what happened and hold the at-fault driver responsible based on it. He fights for fair compensation for every client and holds the at-fault motorist or other liable parties accountable.

How Long Do I Have to Hire a Columbus Motorcycle Accident Lawyer to Handle My Case?
We encourage motorcycle accident victims and their families to contact our Columbus, GA, team as soon as their injuries are stable. If your loved one suffered catastrophic injuries and is undergoing care for those injuries, reach out as soon as possible on their behalf. The sooner you hire us to represent you, the sooner we can go to work:
- Managing the communication in your case
- Protecting your right to a fair payout from the insurance companies and others
- Preserving crucial evidence to show negligence and liability
Contacting us early could make a significant difference in your personal injury case. For example, imagine a nearby business that had surveillance cameras in its parking lot and that captured your motorcycle accident. If we do not locate this video and preserve it, the business could record over it after a week or two, and we would lose this key evidence forever.
Is There a Deadline to File a Lawsuit?
There are deadlines in these personal injury cases. They apply to filing a lawsuit in civil court, although it is essential to meet this statutory deadline to maintain your leverage while negotiating a fair settlement with the insurance companies, too. In general, accident victims have two years from the date of their injuries to file their lawsuit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33.
As long as we are representing you in time to do so, we will ensure you meet this deadline.
