Compensation We Pursue for Motorcycle Accident Clients in Duluth
When we handle your motorcycle accident case, our representation includes evidence collection that proves the elements of negligence, which are:
- Duty of care —the negligent driver’s responsibility to drive safely and responsibility
- Breach of duty —the driver did not provide you with the requisite duty of care
- Causation —the driver’s negligence caused the collision and your resulting injuries
- Damages —the accident resulted in economic and non-economic damages
Once proven, we can pursue the negligent driver for the costs of your injuries and their related expenses.
Economic Damages
Economic damages after your accident include tangible costs that have out-of-pocket costs. They can include:

- Loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage or destruction
- Diminished property value
Our case assessment team will collect the bills, receipts, and estimates that document these current and future costs.

We will obtain copies of your written prognosis and other documents that prove the toll the accident has and will take on your life.

Our Motorcycle Accident Attorney Serving Duluth Explains Personal Injury Laws
The state of Georgia has laws in place that allow you to pursue a negligent driver. Our legal team will ensure you are aware of the state’s laws and how they impact your case.
Relevant laws include:
- O.C.G.A § 9-3-33— the personal injury and wrongful death statute of limitations. In general, it allows you up to two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit or two years from the date of demise to file your wrongful death lawsuit.
- O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5— the statute of limitations against a government or municipal agency. In general, you have up to six months to file a claim.
- O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33— Georgia’s contributory negligence law. It apportions fault for the accident to each involved party. If you are found to bear less than 49% of the fault, you can still recover 51% of the accident’s costs. If you are found to bear more than half of the fault, you cannot recover any damages at all.
At Kaine Law, we understand each of these state laws and the impact they can have on your case. When we represent you, we ensure your case is filed on time and fault is accurately assigned.
We Compile Evidence That Proves Your Right to Financial Recovery
Your evidence file will tell our motorcycle accident attorney and the at-fault driver’s representative what caused the accident. Evidence that supports your case can include:
- Accident report
- Medical records
- Photos and videos
- Witness statements
In addition to collecting and organizing your evidence, our personal injury law firm will:
- Investigate your accident
- Document your injuries
- Assess your monetary damages
- Canvass for photos and video
