The City of Atlanta is Hosting the National Biker Roundup
This week the City of Atlanta is hosting the National Biker Roundup for motorcycle enthusiasts. Unfortunately, on the second day of the event, one motorcyclist has been killed and five others injured. One remains in critical condition. The motorcycle accident occurred on August 5th involving 2 SUV’s, 2 18-wheelers and the 3 motorcycles. All total nine people were injured in this tragic collision. Whether there is a wrongful death case due to the negligence of one of the truckers or others is presently unknown. The news accounts are sketchy but all too often, when motorcycle riders are killed, wrongful death claims are oftentimes present. Approximately 40,000 motorcycle riders are expected to attend the week long event here in Atlanta which began on August 4th and concludes on August 9th. Because the City of Atlanta has terrible traffic and many 18-wheelers on the highways coming into and out of Atlanta, safety is paramount for all motorcycle riders and other motorists on the road. Regrettably, the Georgia injury lawyers at Finch McCranie, LLP have handled many motorcycle accidents over the years involving wrongful death and serious injuries. We can only hope that there will be no further tragedies during this otherwise fantastic event for motorcycle enthusiasts. Be careful if you are out there. Have fun – but be safe!
