Savannah Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Fighting for Accident Victims in Chatham County, GA
The fun, economy, and other benefits of riding a motorcycle are well-known to bike enthusiasts. Bikes can be ridden for transportation, sport, and enjoyment. However, motorcyclists face a significantly higher risk of injury or death in accidents than the occupants of cars, SUVs, and light trucks.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycles accounted for only 3.5 percent of all registered vehicles nationwide in 2021. Yet 14 percent of all traffic fatalities in that year involved motorcyclists. Furthermore, you are 24 times more likely to be killed in a traffic accident as a motorcyclist than as a passenger car occupant.
Being injured in a motorcycle accident can be a life-changing event that may take months or years of recovery. In the most severe cases, catastrophic injuries can occur that lead to permanent disability.
Recovering maximum compensation as a motorcycle accident victim is critical. At Scheer, Montgomery & Call, P.C., our team understands this; we rigorously investigate and thoroughly prepare claims as if they may go to trial. We work diligently to help our clients recover all the damages they deserve through negotiated settlements or litigation.

Common Causes of Savannah Motorcycle Accidents
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Left-turn collisions: Cars making left turns in front of motorcycles often fail to see them or misjudge their speed.
- Lane switching and blind spots: Drivers may not notice motorcycles when changing lanes, leading to collisions.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases crash severity.
- Lane splitting: Riding between lanes in slow-moving or stopped traffic can be dangerous due to the proximity of vehicles.
- Road hazards: Potholes, gravel, wet roads, and debris pose more significant risks to motorcycles than cars.

Representation in Motorcycle Accident Claims
In the wake of a motorcycle accident, you may be seriously physically impaired. Having to handle a personal injury claim can be an overwhelming prospect at such a time. You must prove the liability of the negligent or at-fault party, who can then be held responsible for your injuries.
At Scheer, Montgomery & Call, P.C., our team is highly experienced in handling these claims. We can investigate the accident and gather evidence, such as police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident scene photos, to determine fault.
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. We can seek to minimize your assigned fault percentage to maximize your compensation.
