Louisiana Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Since motorcyclists lack the physical protection of a car and are tough for other vehicles to see, motorcyclists face a much greater chance of suffering serious and fatal injuries than people in cars. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a person is 3 times more likely to be injured and 14 times more likely to be killed in a motorcycle accident than in a car or other motor vehicle accidents. Helmets and other safety gear are important and have prevented many injuries, but even with these precautions, the risk of injury in a motorcycle accident is still high.

As motorcycles increase in popularity in Louisiana and around the United States, the number of accidents involving motorcycles also increases. The most common reasons for motorcycle accidents are generally speeding, a failure of a vehicle to yield the right-of-way, and driver inattention. Of course, there are many other reasons why motorcycle accidents can occur and there are actions that motorcyclists can take to prevent accidents and reduce the chance of serious injury in bike crashes.
Wearing a helmet is one of the most important aspects of this protection. Helmets have been shown to protect against head and brain injuries, which could easily result in long term disabilities or death. In addition to catastrophic and fatal head injuries, motorcycle accidents can also result in:
- Broken bones
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Wrongful death
