Gwinnett County Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Can I get a motorcycle accident lawyer anywhere in Gwinnett County?

Yes. The Scott Pryor Law Group represents riders hurt in motorcycle crashes anywhere in Gwinnett County, including Lawrenceville, Duluth, Suwanee, Buford, Norcross and Snellville. The firm keeps two offices inside the county, its headquarters in Peachtree Corners and an office in downtown Lawrenceville, and a rider can work with whichever is more convenient.

Neither office is limited to its own city, so a rider hurt in Suwanee or Snellville can use either one. The free consultation, the contingency fee and the way we run your case are the same at both.

One phone number reaches both offices, and it is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For more on each office, see our Lawrenceville motorcycle accident page and our Peachtree Corners page.

Wherever you meet, a dedicated attorney and case manager handle your case, and we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. You don't pay unless we win your case.

How do most motorcycle crashes with cars happen?

Many motorcycle crashes start with a driver who did not look: a left turn across the rider's path, a lane change into a blind spot, a car following too closely or one backing out without checking. The Scott Pryor Law Group investigates Gwinnett County motorcycle crashes to show exactly what the driver did.

Other causes come up too. Speeding, inattention and impaired driving all play a part, and so do drivers who pass a rider too fast. Potholes, debris and wet pavement can make a driver's mistake harder for a rider to escape.

A driver who says they never saw the motorcycle has not given a reason for the crash. A motorcycle is smaller and harder to judge at a distance than a car, which is why a careful driver looks twice before turning or changing lanes.

To show what happened, we collect photos of the scene and both vehicles, the officer's crash report, what witnesses saw and any camera footage from nearby. When the facts are disputed, accident reconstruction specialists can explain the angles and speeds involved.

Why can a minor motorcycle crash cause a serious injury?

A rider has none of the airbags, seatbelts or steel frame that protect people in a car, so a crash that would only dent a bumper can break bones or injure the brain. The Scott Pryor Law Group documents every injury in a Gwinnett County motorcycle claim so the insurer cannot treat a low-speed crash as a minor one.

A helmet and riding gear help. Even so, riders who wear both can still be badly hurt, because nothing stands between them and the road.

Some injuries take hours or days to show. Medical records made early tie the injury to the crash, and they answer an adjuster who later suggests the injury came from somewhere else.

A motorcycle claim can include past and future medical care, lost income, pain and the damage to your bike and gear. Our Georgia motorcycle accident page explains how a motorcycle case is valued.
