In Georgia, a motorcycle owner or rider must establish insurance in order to own or operate a motorcycle. Your motorcycle insurance is critical in the event of a motorcycle crash in Atlanta and may be your best source of securing your financial security in the event of a serious crash-related injury. This is an important-and legally necessary-investment and should not be overlooked.

  • at least $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person when a motorcycle crash occurs;
