E ERIC GUIRARD SECURES HUGE SETTLEMENTS FOR LOUISIANA MOTORCYCLE WRECK VICTIMS.. ...CALL E TO SETTLE YOUR CASE!
Due to our warm weather and beautiful scenery, motorcycle riding is very popular in South Louisiana. Motorcycles represent fun and freedom, but because riders have little protection in a crash, motorcycle accidents cause many serious injuries and deaths.
It’s no secret that the speed and small size of motorcycles are often a deadly combination. Motorcyclists are nearly 30 times more likely to die in an accident than drivers and passengers in cars and trucks and are over five times as likely to be injured, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In 2019, Louisiana reported 84 fatalities and nearly 1200 riders injured in crashes.
Motorcycles are far less safe in accidents than closed vehicles. Even if you are wearing protective leather clothing, in most cases, the only real protection motorcycle riders have is their helmets. Whether a biker is wearing a helmet or not, motorcycle accidents typically cause serious trauma to bikers and require significant medical treatment. Many bikers incur high medical bills and often miss time from work. In cases where there are serious injuries caused by the negligence of another driver, you need an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer, like E, to investigate your accident and make sure you get the benefits you need.
Many riders have heard a story about a car driver claiming “I never saw him” after a motorcycle accident. That’s because the leading cause of motorcycle accidents is the failure of motorists to recognize motorcycles in traffic. Motorcycles have a narrow profile and are easy to overlook. Most often, a car turns left unexpectedly in front of an oncoming motorcycle, and the biker cannot avoid a collision. A driver risks colliding with a motorcyclist when he or she fails to check his or her blind spot or signal when changing lanes. Other common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
Do you recognize on the list below the injuries that you or your loved one suffered in a motorcycle accident? These are among the most common motorcycle accident injuries:
The first thing you should do after an accident is check yourself and the others involved for injuries. Immediately call 911 whether you, passengers, other drivers, or everyone is hurt.
As soon as you are able, Protect your legal rights and potential compensation for your damages by gathering important information. Speak with witnesses, passengers, other drivers, and the police officer. Take photos of anything that you think might be relevant to your case. Because you’re on a motorcycle, insurance companies will try to blame you. That’s why it’s important to contact the police to make an official report.
And remember–do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company, including your own, without first contacting a personal injury attorney. While it’s imperative to contact all insurance companies, you have the right to be represented by an attorney while you’re doing so. Partnering with an attorney who specializes in motorcycle injury law, like E, will protect you from saying anything that might be held against you later. Underestimating your damages (pain and injuries often appear days after your accident) can reduce your rightful compensation.
After a motorcycle crash, you need an attorney by your side to help you fight for maximum compensation. You may have totaled your bike, and racked up thousands of dollars in medical bills. You deserve to find out if someone else is liable to pay for these damages.
