Lawrenceville Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Does the Lawrenceville office take motorcycle accident cases?

Yes. The Scott Pryor Law Group's Lawrenceville office, downtown in the Gwinnett County seat, represents motorcycle riders and passengers hurt in crashes across Gwinnett County and Georgia. Schedule a free consultation at the office or start by phone. Phones answered 24/7, and you don't pay unless we win your case.

In the first conversation we ask about the crash, the vehicle that hit you and your injuries, and we answer your questions about how a motorcycle claim works. Photos of your bike help if you have them, but nothing is required before you call. If an adjuster has already reached you, tell us what was said.

Lawrenceville is one of the firm's two offices. The headquarters is in Peachtree Corners, and the same phone number reaches both, so you can meet at whichever one suits you.

Hire us and two people stay with your case: a dedicated attorney and a case manager. They take the insurance calls, answer your questions and tell you when something changes, so you can put your energy into healing. Nothing is due up front.

What if the insurance company blames me because I ride a motorcycle?

Answer it with evidence. Insurers sometimes assume a rider was speeding or reckless when a driver simply did not look. For Lawrenceville motorcycle riders, The Scott Pryor Law Group builds the record that shows what really happened: the scene, the damage to both vehicles, the witnesses and, when needed, expert analysis.

The bias has a reason behind it. Blame changes what the insurer pays. If you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault. O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33 So an adjuster has every reason to place as much of the fault on the rider as possible.

The proof often points the other way. A driver who failed to check a blind spot, turned left in front of the bike or followed too closely leaves a trail: where the vehicles came to rest, damage that shows the angle of impact, what witnesses saw and what the police report records. Accident reconstruction specialists can explain how the crash unfolded when the insurer disputes it.

You do not have to argue with the adjuster yourself. Once you hire us, those calls come to us, and we answer the blame with facts.

Will my motorcycle accident case go to trial?

Only a small share of cases go all the way to trial, but The Scott Pryor Law Group prepares every Lawrenceville motorcycle accident case as if it will. Insurers take that preparation seriously when they decide what to offer. When an insurer will not make a fair offer, the firm is ready to take the motorcycle case to court.

If no fair offer comes, the case goes to suit, and the firm's six-step litigation process begins. The steps run from filing and an initial client meeting through discovery, mediation and trial preparation. Discovery runs about 6 to 12 months, with mediation roughly 1 to 2 months after it. Settlement remains possible at every step.

The same bias an adjuster shows a rider can surface in a courtroom. That is one more reason the firm builds the evidence from the start rather than in the weeks before trial.

Founding partner Scott Pryor is a trial lawyer. Andrew holds licenses for all state courts in Georgia and Tennessee, and Zane Bradford's admissions include the Superior and Supreme Courts of Georgia. When an offer arrives, we explain what it means, and you decide whether to accept it.

Does Georgia have a motorcycle helmet law?

Yes. Georgia law requires all motorcyclists to wear helmets that comply with safety standards. O.C.G.A. § 40-6-315 The Scott Pryor Law Group's guide to Georgia motorcycle laws explains what that rule and the state's other riding laws require.
