From our office in Baton Rouge, we represent injured clients throughout the entire state. If you are unable to come to us after your accident, we can come to you to help you develop a cohesive legal strategy that aims for maximum recovery of your damages.<\/p>\n<p>Our firm has years of professional experience representing victims of all types of motor vehicle accidents. We know the unique issues that motorcycle accidents can raise for injured victims and their families and how to help our clients fully recover. Your recovery from a motorcycle accident will begin with proving fault for the accident, showing how it happened and identifying the party or parties responsible.<\/p>\n<p>Once we have helped our client prove fault for their motorcycle accident, we can assist them in filing an auto insurance claim against the at-fault driver.

You can rely on our firm for comprehensive legal support through all stages of your case.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"unique-risk-factors-for-motorcycles\"><\/span>Unique Risk Factors for Motorcycles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Motorcycles lack many of the basic safety features found in enclosed passenger cars. They do not have seatbelts, airbags, or crash-absorbing frames designed to protect occupants inside of the vehicle. When a motorcycle accident happens, the bike offers the rider very little to no physical protection from crash impact forces. The rider is likely to suffer severe injuries from impact as well as the force of hitting the ground.<\/p>\n<p>State law requires all motorcycle riders to wear appropriate helmets, but even the highest-quality helmets and protective gear can only mitigate injuries, not prevent them entirely. In addition to the severity of injuries that a rider faces in an accident, they are also less visible on the road than other vehicles. This leaves motorcyclists highly vulnerable in periods of low light, poor visibility, and congested traffic.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"proving-liability-for-a-motorcycle-accident\"><\/span>Proving Liability for a Motorcycle Accident<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first step in recovering from any motor vehicle accident is proving fault for the accident. The state enforces the fault rule for resolving all vehicle accident cases, meaning an injured driver must identify the party who caused their accident and prove how they caused it before they can recover any compensation for their losses. This will be more challenging in some cases than others based on the exact details of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Your Louisiana motorcycle accident lawyer can help you gather various forms of evidence to prove exactly how your accident happened. This evidence could include recordings from traffic cameras positioned around the scene of the crash, cell phone records from the drivers involved in the accident, vehicle computer data, and photos of the accident immediately after it happened. Witness testimony from those who saw the accident happen could also prove invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>Motorcycle accidents can happen from the same causes as all other accidents, but when they do occur, they tend to have more devastating results. Driver negligence is the most commonly cited cause of vehicle accidents in the state, and this can take many forms. Distracted driving, speeding, moving violations, and failure to address vehicle maintenance issues are just a few of the most common examples of driver negligence reported throughout the state each year.<\/p>\n<p>These accidents can also happen if drivers break the law. The most common example of how this can occur is intoxicated driving. It is illegal for any driver to operate a vehicle under the influence of drugs and\/or alcohol, but this remains one of the most commonly prosecuted criminal offenses in the state. If your accident resulted from illegal misconduct, it could influence your recovery in various ways. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murphylawfirm.com\/blog\/is-lane-splitting-legal-in-louisiana\/\">Lane splitting legal<\/a> issues may also come into play if a motorcyclist was involved in the accident while performing this maneuver, which can increase the risk of accidents if done improperly.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, proving fault is an essential first step in your recovery. You will need to prove fault for your motorcycle accident before you can obtain any compensation for your damages. The Murphy Law Firm excels at resolving difficult accident claims, so trust our team to help you build a strong foundation for your case.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cmn-box baton\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"louisiana-motorcycle-accident-lawyer\"><\/span>Louisiana <strong>Motorcycle Accident Lawyer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"inr_btn\">\n<div class=\"inr-cmn_btn\"><a class=\"cmn-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.murphylawfirm.com\/contact\/\">Schedule A Consultation<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"inr-phn\"><a href=\"tel:2259288800\">Call Now (225) 928-8800<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"filing-an-auto-insurance-claim-after-a-motorcycle-accident\"><\/span>Filing an Auto Insurance Claim After a Motorcycle Accident<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every driver in the state is required to have auto insurance that meets the state\u2019s minimum coverage requirements. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldi.la.gov\/docs\/default-source\/documents\/publicaffairs\/consumerpublications\/consumer's-guide-to-auto-insurance-2016.pdf?sfvrsn=c0907c52_53\">the state\u2019s No Pay, No Play rule<\/a> forces drivers to purchase auto insurance or else they lose the ability to claim certain amounts of compensation if they are injured in accidents. It is crucial to ensure your auto insurance policy meets applicable coverage requirements.<\/p>\n<p>When a driver causes an accident in the state, their insurance policy will pay for the resulting damages to the other driver. The injured driver will need to firmly establish fault for the accident before the insurance company will be willing to pay. However, it is important for an injured claimant to anticipate the insurance company will fight back against the claim in whatever way they can. Insurance companies will also look for all the ways they can find to deny a claim if possible.<\/p>\n<p>Your Louisiana motorcycle accident lawyer can help you gather the documentation you will need to submit to the insurance company so they can process your claim. If any disputes are raised, your attorney will know how to address these issues and ensure your claim is handled fairly. Once you receive a settlement offer, your attorney can verify whether it is fair and reasonable under the terms of the policy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"building-a-personal-injury-claim-for-a-motorcycle-accident\"><\/span>Building a Personal Injury Claim for a Motorcycle Accident<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When insurance will not fully cover your damages after a motorcycle accident, a personal injury suit can enable you to recover compensation for your outstanding damages. The goal of every personal injury claim is for the injured party to prove liability for their damages and hold the responsible party or parties accountable for these losses. The compensation the plaintiff receives is meant to make them whole again after being harmed by another party.<\/p>\n<p>Success with a personal injury claim will require proving that the defendant is responsible for the damages cited in the claim based on a preponderance of the evidence, meaning they are more likely than not responsible for the damages cited in the claim. In the event that more than one party is liable for the accident, fault percentages will be assigned to each liable party in proportion to their level of responsibility for causing the accident.<\/p>\n<p>If the plaintiff can successfully prove liability for the accident, they can hold the defendant liable for all resulting economic and non-economic damages they sustained because of the defendant\u2019s actions. Economic damages include direct financial losses that can be proven with the appropriate documentation. Non-economic damages are more subjective, and a plaintiff will require an attorney\u2019s help to assess appropriate amounts to claim for these losses.<\/p>\n<p>The economic damages a plaintiff may be able to recover from a successful personal injury claim can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Medical expenses. The victim of a motorcycle accident could suffer severe life-changing injuries. The party responsible for causing these injuries will be liable for all of the victim\u2019s medical expenses, including the cost of any future ongoing care they may require to fully rehabilitate from their injuries.<\/li>\n<li>Property damage. The injured rider can seek compensation for vehicle repair or replacement costs. Any property losses that cannot be recovered with an insurance claim can be sought as economic damages in a personal injury suit.<\/li>\n<li>Lost wages. The victim of a motorcycle accident may not be able to work while they recover from their injuries. In this situation, the defendant is liable for the income the victim is unable to earn during this time. Additionally, if the victim\u2019s future earning capacity has been negatively impacted by the accident, the defendant is also responsible for their lost future income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may be able to assess immediately noticeable economic damages like your vehicle repair costs and your hospital bills following a motorcycle accident, but accurate calculation of your long-term economic losses will be challenging without an experienced attorney\u2019s help. Additionally, your attorney can help you determine an appropriate amount of compensation to seek for your non-economic damages.<\/p>\n<p>Non-economic damages are not easily proven, as these include intangible losses like physical pain, emotional distress, and psychological trauma. Louisiana does not set any limits on pain and suffering compensation in motorcycle accident cases, nor are plaintiffs required to use a specific formula to calculate how much they can seek from the defendants who injured them.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of pain and suffering compensation you seek with your claim should reflect the overall severity of the harm you suffered and the scope of the long-term or permanent complications you are likely to face because of the accident. The right Louisiana motorcycle accident lawyer can help their client maximize the pain and suffering compensation they win from the defendant.<\/p>\n<p>If your motorcycle accident resulted from illegal misconduct of any kind, it could influence your recovery in several ways. While it may take longer for you to resolve your civil case, you could be awarded punitive damages in addition to your other compensation to reflect the defendant\u2019s illegal behavior. In their criminal case, they may be ordered to pay you restitution as an element of their punishment.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, you may be legally entitled to claim more compensation than you initially expected, but you will need a seasoned Louisiana motorcycle accident lawyer on your side to have the greatest chance of maximizing your case award. You have a relatively short window of time in which to file a personal injury suit after your accident, so it is vital that you connect with a trustworthy attorney as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-to-expect-from-your-louisiana-motorcycle-accident-lawyer\"><\/span>What to Expect From Your Louisiana Motorcycle Accident Lawyer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Murphy Law Firm has years of professional experience representing the victims of all types of vehicle accidents, and we know all the unique legal issues that the victim of a motorcycle accident is likely to face in the aftermath of this type of incident.
