Atlanta, GA (Law Firm Newswire) May 16, 2013 – Bikers are extremely vulnerable to unbelievably painful injuries or death if they are involved in an accident. “No matter what amount of safety gear a biker dons, they are still moving leather targets, simply because they do not have the same kind of protection that a car has —- they are not surrounded by a steel frame, do not have air bags and are not wearing seat belts. A collision often means ejection from the bike. Ejection often leads to death due to brain trauma,” indicated Stephen Ozcomert, an Atlanta injury [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) April 4, 2013 – Motorcycle accidents may be more about brain calculations than not seeing bikers. “I ran across an interesting article about motorcycles and accidents, which I thought might be the standard piece relating to drivers insisting they do not see bikers. I was surprised when I realized it had a piece of information in it about how a brain calculates distance that made me sit up and take notice,” explained Austin personal injury attorney Bobby Lee, of Lee, Gober and Reyna in Austin, Texas. It is no secret that motorcycle accidents are common; [...]

Atlanta, GA (Law Firm Newswire) March 7, 2013 – Motorcycle crashes maim and kill people, but they also cost $16 billion a year, plus medical expenses. “It’s well noted that motorcyclists are involved more often in fatal crashes, than passenger vehicles. The fact is, they are up to 30 times more likely to meet their death than occupants in a car, according to the Government Accountability Office,” outlined Stephen Ozcomert, an Atlanta injury lawyer, who practices personal injury, accidents and malpractice law in Georgia. “As an Atlanta injury attorney, I see a fair number of injured bikers and have represented [...]

Brunswick, GA (Law Firm Newswire) October 24, 2012 – Motorcyclist fatalities in Georgia are on the rise, according to Georgia’s Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. In 2008, 12 percent of Georgia’s motor vehicle fatalities were motorcycle drivers, an increase of some 59 percent since 2004. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates almost 2,000 people riding motorcycles were saved by wearing helmets in 2008, and that more than 800 additional lives could have been saved, if those people were also wearing motorcycle helmets. Most serious motorcycle accidents are caused by the negligence or carelessness of automobile drivers who do [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) October 15, 2012 – A motorcycle is thrilling, but bikers live on borrowed time. In this case, two bikers lost their lives in a devastating wreck with a pickup truck. “One of the hardest accident scenes to see is a motorcycle that has been broadsided. The damage it does is graphic, horrific and hits you with a visceral punch in the abdomen. There is debris from one end of the road to the other and in some instances, body parts. You have to say a mental prayer for those that lost their lives, as they [...]

Atlanta, GA (Law Firm Newswire) October 12, 2012 – Motorcycle accidents can be catastrophic in many circumstances. The motorcycle accident in question was considered to be utter mayhem. “The scene of a motorcycle accident is often quite gut-wrenching. This case in particular was one of the worst law enforcement had ever seen in their years of working horrific accident scenes. Two bikers were killed outright, and a third was critically injured when they were rammed from behind by another vehicle. It took police over six hours to try and make some sense of the carnage,” explained Stephen Ozcomert, an injury [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) October 11, 2012 – Drinking and driving a car is illegal. Drinking and driving a motorcycle is as well. “This case really gets under your skin, because the man who killed his motorcycle passenger should have known better. He was a former Sheriff’s deputy, with 15 years of service, and was out hooting it up on his ride, while DUI, lost control, went into a slide and dumped his passenger. She sustained severe head and neck trauma, and died the next day,” explained Bobby Lee, an Austin personal injury attorney of Lee, Gober and Reyna [...]

Norfolk, VA (Law Firm Newswire) September 26, 2012 – Summer is coming to a close, school is back in session, and you know what that means – FOOTBALL! College football season is upon us, much to the delight of the thousands of Virginia college team fans in our area. Unfortunately, celebrating a new season can also bring danger in the form of drinking and driving. Between tailgating parties, sports bars, and home viewing parties, alcohol consumption and game day are often synonymous. And one too many drinks can lead to very serious consequences. Recent studies show that the drinking and [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) August 8, 2012 – A biker, whose main reason for living was to ride his motorcycle, lost his life in a head-on collision. “There is just no explaining how some accidents happen, nor why they happen,” said Bobby Lee, an Austin personal injury attorney of Lee, Gober and Reyna, in Texas. “This crash points out that, no matter how careful you may be on your ride, you can’t always factor in what other drivers are going to do.” This tragedy happened during a motorcycle safety week, an irony not lost on his grieving friends and [...]

Atlanta, GA (Law Firm Newswire) July 27, 2012 – Getting out of a motorcycle wreck alive and able to function is virtually a miracle. It makes survivors crusaders for common sense safety. “Bikers who survive a horrific wreck often want to give back to their community the gift of common sense safety when it comes to motorcyclists. They want to raise the awareness of other drivers about sharing the road safely, about being aware of everything going on around them and reduce the number of serious injuries and fatalities racked up every year,” said Stephen Ozcomert, an injury lawyer in [...]

This drunk driving case caused two families major heartbreak. “There were five teens in the car involved in a rollover crash on the highway. Two died. The other three were seriously injured, including the drunk driver. The cause of the accident? Drunk driving, lack of judgment, inexperience and inattention. Two 15-year old teens lost their lives as a result of the driver being under the influence,” said Bobby Lee, a personal injury attorney of Lee, Gober and Reyna in Austin, Texas. One [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) May 31, 2012 – One way to reduce motorcycle accidents is to be more aware of all the traffic present in the area. Paying attention could save a biker’s life. “This accident was one of those things that tend to happen far too often when riding a motorcycle. Car drivers just do not see the bikers and often turn right in front of them. Without nowhere else to go but into the side of the vehicle, many a biker, and their passengers, have been gravely injured and/or killed,” recounted Bobby Lee, an Austin personal injury [...]

Atlanta, GA (Law Firm Newswire) May 9, 2012 – Too often these days motorcyclists end up involved in horrific accidents with other vehicles. Many times the drivers say they never saw the biker. “This reported case is typical of the kinds of things that may happen when someone is riding their motorcycle. While I wish it were not so, these types of wrecks happen far too often, largely due to the driver of the ‘other’ vehicle being inattentive. One of the first rules of the road is watch out for other drivers. That includes bikers,” added Stephen Ozcomert, an Atlanta [...]

Atlanta, GA (Law Firm Newswire) April 18, 2012 – Bikers need to also be aware of what is going on around them. In this case, the motorcyclist made a bad judgment call. “Typically, when a motorcycle and another vehicle are involved in an accident, it was the vehicle that caused the accident. This is usually because the driver did not see the biker or the cycle. In some cases like this one the biker made a bad judgment call, and the result was the death of his passenger,” remarked Stephen Ozcomert, an Atlanta injury lawyer who practices personal injury, accidents [...]

Atlanta, GA (Law Firm Newswire) January 20, 2012 – There are far too many inattentive drivers on the roads today. This reported case, involving a police officer, clearly demonstrates that. “When you practice personal injury law, including handling motorcycle crash cases, you sometimes think you just may have seen it all,” commented Stephen Ozcomert, an Atlanta injury lawyer in Georgia who practices personal injury, accidents and malpractice law. “Then, along comes a case like this one that makes you realize you have not seen it all and that there never seems to be an end to driver inattentiveness that can [...]
