What Injuries Can a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in New Orleans Help With?

Unfortunately, there are many dangerous roads in New Orleans and places where motorcycle accidents are more common. Although motorcyclists in New Orleans understand the risks of serious injuries from an accident, NO motorcyclist should EVER suffer injuries due to careless and negligent parties. If a motorcyclist takes all precautions and follows the rules of the road, they should be able to get home safe and sound. Sadly, this is not always what happens, and many reckless parties cause unnecessary injuries and struggles from motorcyclists.

Motorcyclists don’t have seat belts, airbags, or a large metal car frame around them for protection. Instead, they often have little more than a helmet to protect them from injuries. Even the safest helmet cannot always protect you from head injuries, which means you are vulnerable to life-changing injuries any time you decide to venture out on your bike.

Some common motorcycle accident injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Skull fractures
  • Catastrophic injuries
  • Facial injuries, including a broken jaw, nose, or cheekbones
  • Eye injuries
  • Dental damage
  • Broken, crushed, or shattered bones
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Soft tissue tears
  • Amputations
  • Disfigurement
  • Burns or road rash
  • Internal organ damage

When you consider all the possible traumatic injuries that may result from a motorcycle crash, it is amazing that many people do survive. However, surviving your injuries is only the first step, as such injuries will surely cause a long, hard road ahead.

Your road to recovery can involve regular and invasive medical treatment, constant pain and suffering, mental trauma, lost income from not being able to work, and more. Some people never fully recover, as they sustain permanent disabilities that keep their lives from ever being the same. Any type of injury can disrupt your life, and some injuries can completely alter your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Many motorcycle accident victims experience both financial and more intangible losses to a devastating degree. If someone else caused your crash, you deserve to recover EVERY DIME you deserve for your losses. Consult with a highly experienced motorcycle accident attorney in our New Orleans office as soon as possible. We know how to best protect your rights!

Who Can a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in New Orleans Hold Liable For Your Crash?

Each motorcycle accident happens in a unique way.

  • Did another driver run you off the road?
  • Did you hit a deep pothole and go flying off your bike?
  • Did the brakes on your motorcycle suddenly fail, causing you to lose control?

No matter what happened, you need to determine who caused your accident, and our law firm knows how to thoroughly investigate an accident to determine all potentially responsible parties.

In many cases, negligent drivers are to blame for motorcycle accidents and injuries. Motorists in New Orleans are often careless or even aggressive around motorcycles. While a motorcyclist may be obeying all traffic laws and minding their own business, another driver may become frustrated and drive dangerously around the motorcycle.

Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in New Orleans include:

  • Distracted driving
  • Aggressive driving
  • Tailgating
  • Speeding
  • Dangerous passing (i.e., passing on the shoulder or cutting off a motorcycle)
  • Running traffic signals
  • Failing to yield
  • Failing to check blind spots before turning or changing lanes
  • Drunk driving
  • Drugged driving
  • Driving fatigued

While you can find dangerous drivers on almost every street in New Orleans, these drivers are not always to blame for motorcycle accidents. Other liable parties can include:

  • Motorcycle manufacturers that sell defective motorcycles or parts that later malfunction and cause an accident
  • Government agencies are responsible for dangerous road conditions and hazards, such as potholes, gravel on roads, or large cracks that can cause a motorcyclist to crash. If you've ridden on New Orleans streets, you know the dangerous cracks and potholes that can cause significant injury. We will hold negligent agencies accountable for their negligence in repairing the roads in and around New Orleans

You need a law firm on your side that is willing to take on ANY type of responsible party and their insurance companies—from individual drivers to giant corporations.

How Can a New Orleans Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help You?

How do you negotiate an accident settlement without a New Orleans attorney? Simple, you shouldn't! From the start, a New Orleans motorcycle accident lawyer can go to work to protect your rights to compensation. This includes investigating the accident scene carefully. A thorough investigation can often reveal evidence that will help build your case. Photographs of the accident, damage to your vehicle, and eyewitness statements can all help establish liability.

After a serious New Orleans motorcycle crash, you don't have the time or energy to do all this work yourself. That is why hiring an experienced New Orleans personal injury lawyer is key to winning maximum compensation. Your attorney will investigate your accident, work with your medical team, negotiate with insurance companies, and fight for your rights at every turn.

Without an experienced New Orleans motorcycle accident lawyer in your corner, insurance adjusters will try to lowball you and offer you far less than you need  - and deserve. If you accept an insufficient motorcycle accident settlement, you could be on the hook for thousands of dollars in medical bills and expenses down the road. So, how do you negotiate an accident settlement without a New Orleans attorney? JUST DON'T.

What Compensation Can My Personal Injury Lawyer Requestfor Me After a New Orleans Motorcycle Accident?

After a serious New Orleans motorcycle accident, injured bikers often want to know how much compensation they can receive. This is a difficult question to answer because many factors affect the final amount of an accident settlement or award. In general, however, motorcycle accident victims can seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. This includes:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Emotional distress
  • Future medical treatment and bills

When you speak to one of our experienced New Orleans motorcycle accident attorneys, we will discuss your case and help you determine the amount of compensation you might receive. Our goal is to protect you and help you move forward after a serious motorcycle crash. This may involve filing a motorcycle accident claim or a personal injury lawsuit. Before doing so, however, we will discuss all your legal options with you.

You Must Act Quickly After a Significant New Orleans Motorcycle Accident

After a serious motorcycle accident in New Orleans, it is important to act quickly. Louisiana law states that injury accident victims must file a personal injury claim within one year of the accident. This is known as the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you will not be able to file a future claim to collect the money you need.

While this might seem like a lot of time, valuable evidence can be lost or destroyed quickly if you don't gather it right away. In addition, the longer you wait to file a personal injury claim, the less likely insurance adjusters will believe that your injuries were related to the accident itself. This can cause unnecessary obstacles and make it more difficult to collect the compensation you deserve.

A skilled motorcycle accident lawyer in New Orleans will make sure you do not miss any critical deadlines for filing your claim.
