Are Motorcycle Accidents More Serious Than Car Accidents?
Typically, motorcycle accidents result in far worse injuries than car accidents that occur at similar speeds and in similar conditions. The main reason for this unfortunate outcome is that motorcyclists have very little protection compared to motorists in closed vehicles. A helmet and padded clothing are about the most that a motorcyclist can do to try to reduce their risk of serious injury if a crash occurs.
Furthermore, insurance claims for motorcycle accidents tend to be more complicated and contested due to the severe nature of the injured rider’s injuries. Insurance companies know that the payout for a claim involving serious injuries will be higher than average, so they tend to put up a greater fight than usual. In other words, if you need to file a motorcycle accident claim, you should start by obtaining reliable legal counsel by coming to Ryan E. Gatti, Attorney At Law, serving clients in Bossier City and beyond.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Louisiana
After a motorcycle accident, it is common for insurance representatives to blame the motorcycle rider. People often have a misplaced assumption that motorcyclists are reckless by nature, so they are more likely to be the cause of a crash. This assumption is untrue and unfair. Oftentimes, when our attorneys are through with investigating the cause of a client’s motorcycle accident, it is revealed that the other motorist or driver did something wrong that led to the collision.
Common driver mistakes that lead to motorcycle accidents include:
- Driving while distracted or intoxicated
- Turning left in front of an approaching motorcycle
- Tailgating a motorcycle and not being ready to come to a sudden stop
- Changing lanes without checking for a motorcyclist in the blind spot
Damages in a Motorcycle Accident Claim
Motorcycle accidents often cause road rash, head injuries, back injuries, and other serious injuries. As a direct result of those injuries, such accidents also often cause medical bills to pile up. You could be feeling financial stress as soon as you are approved to leave the hospital. To pursue the compensation that you need to recover without breaking the bank, let our Bossier City motorcycle accident attorneys lead the way and demand damages on your behalf.
We can likely demand damages related to your:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past lost wages
- Future income loss if you were disabled in the wreck
- Pain and suffering
- Lessened enjoyment of life and reduced life expectancy
- Property damage like motorcycle repair
