A 44-year-old woman was killed last week in a motorcycle accident near Braselton in Jackson County, Georgia. The victim, Gena Scott, was riding her motorcycle on highway 53 when a Toyota RAV made a left turn in front of the motorcycle. Scott's bike crashed into the passenger side of the Toyota, and she was thrown several feet and later died at the scene. Charges have not been filed yet. Accident reconstruction experts are retracing the seconds leading up to the crash.
It is a sad fact that even when a motorcyclist follows all the traffic rules, driving within the speed limit, and wearing a helmet, they are still seriously injured or killed when other motorists fail to see them. As an attorney who has represented numerous motorcycle accident victims, it has been my experience that most car and truck drivers tend to notice only other cars and trucks around them.
Motorcycle accidents tend to result in serious injuries or fatalities because riders have very little protection in the event of an accident. While a helmet may protect from head injuries to some extent, it does not protect against the kind of body trauma injuries that can kill a rider. Impact with another vehicle, even at normal speeds, can throw a motorcyclist dozens of feet away, increasing the risk of severe or fatal injuries.
Unfortunately, most jurors seem to want to blame, at least partially, the motorcyclist for simply riding on a motorcycle. Jurors also tend to be fixated on the speed of the motorcycle as well. As Georgia motorcycle accident lawyers know, it is very difficult to judge the speed and distance of any approaching motorcycle and this increases the dangers associated with riding a motorcycle.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed by a drunk driver or injured by the carelessness, recklessness or negligence of another, contact Georgia Super Lawyer Jason R. Schultz PC to make sure you are compensated for all of your lost wages, medical expenses and pain. Do not face the insurance company alone.
