Despite taking safety precautions, riders are too often injured by careless or distracted drivers. At Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins LLP, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll motorcycle accidents cause. For over 50 years, we’ve stood by Georgia’s injured riders—relentlessly pursuing compensation and justice from those responsible.
Our firm has successfully handled complex motorcycle injury claims involving negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, and defective parts. Whether you’re dealing with catastrophic injuries or grieving the loss of a loved one, we have the legal experience and resources to fight for the full recovery you deserve.
What Our Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Can Help You With
Traumatic Injuries and Long-Term Medical Care
Motorcyclists are vulnerable to spinal cord injuries, brain trauma, fractures, and disfigurement. We help you pursue damages that reflect the true cost of lifelong medical care, rehabilitation, and disability.
Insurance Company Disputes
Many insurers try to blame motorcyclists to reduce or deny claims. Our attorneys step in to handle negotiations, prevent bad-faith tactics, and ensure you're treated fairly throughout the claims process.
Wrongful Death Claims for Fatal Motorcycle Accidents
If you’ve lost a family member in a motorcycle crash, we’ll pursue a wrongful death action to hold the negligent party accountable and secure compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering.
Claims Involving Road Hazards or Vehicle Defects
Potholes, poor signage, or defective motorcycle parts can lead to serious crashes. We investigate all contributing factors and pursue claims against municipalities, manufacturers, or other third parties when applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Motorcycle Accident Claims
What should I do after a motorcycle accident?
Can I still recover damages if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
Yes. Georgia law requires helmet use, but failure to wear one doesn’t automatically disqualify you from compensation. However, it may affect the amount you can recover based on comparative fault laws.
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in Georgia?
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better we can preserve critical evidence and protect your rights.
What damages can I claim in a motorcycle accident case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, disability, and emotional distress. In cases involving gross negligence, punitive damages may also apply.
Who can be held liable for my motorcycle accident?
Liable parties may include another driver, a trucking company, a government agency responsible for road maintenance, or a motorcycle manufacturer if a defective part contributed to the crash.
How are motorcycle cases different from car accident claims?
Motorcycle cases often involve more severe injuries and a higher degree of bias against the rider. These claims require an attorney who understands both the legal and technical aspects of riding and accident dynamics.
Do I need an attorney to handle my motorcycle injury claim?
Yes. Insurance companies may attempt to minimize your injuries or offer a lowball settlement. An experienced attorney ensures you receive the compensation you deserve and helps you navigate the legal process effectively.
