Let Our Lawyers Build a Case for Compensation
Georgia law allows victims hurt in motor vehicle accidents to hold the at-fault driver or another liable party accountable. The state requires all drivers to carry auto liability insurance, and this coverage pays for the damages that occur in a crash the policyholder causes. This is true in motorcycle accidents, too.
The injured biker must build a case to show that the at-fault driver caused the accident and document their recoverable damages. With strong evidence, they can recover fair compensation for their expenses and losses. When they hire a Lithonia motorcycle accident lawyer from Kaine Law, we handle this entire process for them.
Our role in building a strong case includes:
- Investigating the bike crash in Lithonia
- Identifying, preserving, and analyzing evidence
- Identifying all potentially liable parties
- Obtaining necessary paperwork, such as the accident report from the Lithonia Police Department and relevant medical records
- Working with experts, such as doctors, life care planners, and accident reconstructionists
- Interviewing eyewitnesses
- Seeking video of the crash, if available
- Documenting the victim’s recoverable damages by reviewing medical records, bills, receipts, tax information, and personal testimony
We know that a compelling case is the best way to recover financial compensation for our clients. Whether we can negotiate an agreement with the at-fault driver’s insurance company or need to take the case to a jury trial, strong evidence is essential to winning a fair payout.
What Damages Will We Pursue for Your Motorcycle Accident Injuries?
Motorcycle accident victims usually endure a wide range of expenses and losses regardless of the severity of their crash and injuries. Our Lithonia motorcycle accident lawyers work to identify and value these damages, seeking fair compensation to cover them.
Each accident case is different, but the common types of damages we pursue include:
- Medical bills, care, and support
- Future care and support costs for long-term injuries
- Loss of income and benefits, if you miss work
- Diminished earning ability for those who cannot return to their job
- Miscellaneous related costs with receipts
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent or temporary disabilities
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of quality or enjoyment of life
The More Serious Your Injuries, the More Your Case May Be Worth
This is a general rule that applies to motor vehicle accident cases. Here are a few hypothetical examples to help illustrate how the severity of your injuries may impact your case:
- A temporary injury like a bone fracture could affect your ability to work for several weeks or months. Permanent injuries, such as the loss of a limb, could affect your entire career, causing much greater loss of wages, earning capacity, and job opportunities.
- Catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are often very expensive to treat and require long-term (if not lifelong) care, meaning that you could be eligible for more money to cover these medical costs.
- A disabling injury can lead to physical pain, mental trauma, limited mobility, and unwanted lifestyle changes. The longer you are disabled, the more you could pursue for these losses.
At Kaine Law, we recognize that catastrophic injuries are very difficult to deal with on a financial, emotional, and physical level. We want to help you recover as fully as possible and give you the means to rebuild your life after a devastating crash.
What if My Loved One Died From Bike Crash Injuries in Lithonia, GA?
Unfortunately, some riders suffer fatal motorcycle injuries. When the victim dies, their family could seek compensation based on Georgia’s wrongful death act, O.C.G.A. § 51-4.
Under this law, the immediate family is entitled to pursue wrongful death compensation that could include:
- Bills for medical care, funeral costs, and other economic expenses
- Lost income and benefits
- Loss of services
- Lost companionship, counsel, and care
- The pain and suffering the victim consciously experienced before death
As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) explains, motorcyclists have long been “overrepresented” among traffic accident fatalities, meaning that the percentage of riders killed in accidents exceeds the percentage of total riders on the road. When these tragic—and, often, preventable—accidents happen, we are here to support you.
The Lithonia wrongful death attorneys at Kaine Law manage fatal accident cases, and we can help your family get justice by managing every step of your claim from beginning to end.

The Insurance Company Might Try to Fight Your Claim
Our Lithonia, Georgia, motorcycle accident attorneys often settle these collision cases without filing a personal injury lawsuit or taking the case to court. We present compelling evidence to the insurance carrier and negotiate a settlement.
In general, the insurer would rather pay us than fight our demands at trial and still have to pay our client in the end. That does not, however, mean that they will make the settlement process easy on you. They might try to reduce their own losses by:
- Asking you to record a statement, which they will then use to pick apart key aspects of your story and insist that you accept less money
- Reading your social media posts, which they might use as evidence that your injuries are less severe than you claimed or that you were at fault
- Blaming the accident on you, since Georgia law allows them to pay less (or no) compensation when the injury victim was partly liable
- Pressuring you to settle before you understand your case’s real value
If the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier will not provide an appropriate payout or there are other reasons why your lawyer believes a lawsuit is necessary, you might need to sue the other party. This could make it more likely that the insurer will increase their offer. On the other hand, it could lead to a jury trial where the court determines the case outcome.
Always be aware that the insurer is not on your side, and that hiring a Lithonia motorcycle accident lawyer from Kaine Law can make it easier for you to notice and fight back against the unfair tactics they might use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do Immediately After a Motorcycle Accident?
Your health and safety should always come first after an accident. Get out of the road if you can, and make arrangements to see a doctor—or to receive emergency care at a facility like Emory Hillandale Hospital, if necessary—as soon as you can.
You will also want to:
- Notify the police about the accident
- Take photos of your injuries, your bike, and everything around you
- Get the other driver’s name and insurance information
- Avoid speaking to the insurance company alone
- Contact a law firm to learn about your rights
How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit in Georgia?
Generally, Georgia has a two-year deadline on motorcycle crash lawsuits under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. However, we need to begin work on these cases much earlier if possible. The sooner we begin our investigation, the stronger the case we can build. Some types of evidence do not last, so let us know about your crash as soon as your injuries allow.
How Long Will it Take to Resolve My Motorcycle Accident Case?
It is not unusual for cases to take weeks or even months to resolve. How long your case takes depends on how complex it is, how much evidence we are able to find, and how the insurance company reacts. If your case goes to trial, it will take longer to resolve than if we are able to secure a pretrial settlement.
The personal injury attorneys at Kaine Law are ready to fight by your side for as long as it takes to seek the financial compensation you and your family are depending on.
