New Orleans Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Representing Those Involving in Serious Louisiana Motorcycle Crashes

According to the National Center of Statistics and Analysis, motorcyclists now represent approximately 14% of all motor vehicle-related fatalities—which is 8.3% higher than 1994. In 2015, over 82 people were killed in Louisiana motorcycle accidents. These statistics demonstrate that motorcycles can be extremely dangerous because even if a motorcycle is being conducted properly, another driver can still cause a tragic accident.

If you have sustained injuries in a motorcycle accident because of another driver’s negligence, you are entitled to seek compensation. Our New Orleans motorcycle accident lawyer can help you receive the best possible results for your case. Call us today (504) 608-3211!

Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes

Negligent Drivers: One of the primary causes of motorcycle accidents is negligent drivers. If a neighboring driver is not following traffic laws or is driving distracted, they can cause a catastrophic accident. This could also include texting and driving, drunk driving, swerving into a line, or making an abrupt turn.

Blind Spots: Motorcyclists have little protection in the event of an accident, and this can lead them to sustain serious injuries. Another driver error that can lead to motorcycle accidents is when a driver fails to check their blind spots. Drivers may fail to notice a motorcycle and get into a collision if they fail to check their blind spots or signal properly.

Dangerous Roads: Dangerous roads can also contribute to motorcycle accidents. If the government fails to repair potholes or uneven pavement, this can cause motorcyclists to swerve or lose control. In these circumstances, the responsible government entity may be held liable.

Defective Equipment: Faulty equipment can also contribute to major motorcycle collisions. There are times when a motorcycle may fail because it has a faulty part or because it was manufactured poorly. A motorcycle that fails on the road can also lead to a serious accident. In this case, the manufacture may be held liable.
