Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C., an Atlanta motorcycle accident attorney, has commented on the motorcycle accident that occurred on June 27, 2019 in the southbound lanes of Interstate 85. He points out that motorcycle accidents are becoming more and more prevalent than ever before. This highlights the fact that motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable parties on the road who deserve the most protection because of such vulnerability.
Kenneth S. Nugent himself says, “At Kenneth S. Nugent, PC Attorneys at Law, we are always looking to improve the quality and safety of our state and have been saddened by the outcome of many accidents across Georgia. We hope that all involved in these accidents will receive a speedy recovery. If you have been injured in a serious motorcycle accident in Georgia caused by the negligence of another party, you have rights to compensation at this time.”
There are many possible causes of motorcycle accidents. These include unsafe lane changes, speeding and/or improper bike handling; rear-end accidents; adverse weather-related road conditions, such as wet roads; multi-vehicle accidents; head-on and front-end collisions; failure to maintain proper distance; lack of or improper maintenance; and motorcycle design and manufacturing defects.
The I-85 motorcycle accident in Atlanta GA shows just how vulnerable motorcyclists are. According to statistics, 10 percent of all traffic accidents in Georgia involve motorcyclists. The warm weather in Georgia has made motorcycle riding very popular in the state. The problem, however, is that motorcycles are far less safe in accidents compared to closed vehicles. Even for those who are wearing protective leather clothing, in most cases, the only true protection that motorcycle riders have is their helmets. This means that there are many cases of motorcycle riders getting injured through the negligence of other motorists.
The lawyers at The Law Offices of Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. have 25 years of experience in representing motorcycle accident victims in Georgia. By making just one call to their office, an attorney will be able to determine if the victims have a case, even if they were partially responsible for the accident.
The attorneys at Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. are not just experienced in providing legal help to victims of motorcycle accidents. They can also be depended on by victims of car accidents and other motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, workers compensation & workplace injuries, insurance bad faith, dangerous products & premises, and nursing home abuse.
It is expected that health care providers such as doctors and nurses are properly trained and will be able to treat people medically but such is not always the case. Some people get injured or die because of the negligence of medical professionals. It has been estimated that an average of more than 1,500 people get killed annually because of medical malpractice in Georgia alone. The team of lawyers at the firm have years of experience in protecting the rights and advocating the interests of medical malpractice victims.
And then there is the possibility of wrongful death. The surviving families of wrongful death victims are faced with many obstacles, including the substantial costs of emergency medical treatment and funeral expenses. Furthermore, if the victim happened to be the bread winner for the family, the family members can expect financial hardships in the future. Family members have specific rights to certain compensation under the law if an act of negligence was the cause of the death of their loved one.
It may also be that the injury or even death was caused by a defective product. The defective product attorneys at the firm can determine if the client has a case. The injuries resulting from defective parts such as tires or products such as mislabeled drugs, are under the products liability law, which the attorneys have significant knowledge about.
