South Louisiana Motorcycle Injury Attorney
Motorcycle accidents are almost always serious. The rider of a motorcycle is unprotected, because there is no structure surrounding the rider. What might be a fender-bender in a car crash is a catastrophic event when a motorcycle is involved. Even with protective gear such as a helmet and leathers, motorcycle riders have longer recovery periods and more severe injuries after a crash.
Aggressive Attorney Fighting for Motorcycle Riders
At the Baton Rouge law firm, Stan F. Davis III, A Professional Law Corporation, our lawyer is dedicated to helping motorcycle riders get the compensation they need to recover and put their lives back together. If full recovery is not possible, we seek payment for the client's reduced earning potential and the costs of ongoing care. Attorney Davis is an aggressive advocate for motorcycle riders. He knows that there is a tradition of always blaming the motorcycle rider; he fights hard to overcome prejudice that keeps victims in motorcycle accidents from getting the payment they deserve.
Examples of Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle accidents result from automobile drivers not seeing a motorcycle in the rearview mirror. The driver changes lanes or makes a turn — right into the path of a following or oncoming motorcycle. The motorcycle is pushed onto the shoulder or suffers a direct hit. In some instances, the rider is forced to lay the bike down, often at high speeds, to avoid hitting the car. In other cases, the motorcycle is forced into traffic in the opposite lane.
Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
Riders suffer catastrophic injuries. They are left brain damaged, paralyzed or burned. Some experience a terrible skin injury known as road rash, which occurs when a rider slides along the rocky shoulder of a road after being hit or laying the bike down. Others lose a limb or fingers. Biker head injuries can result in permanent brain damage. People with such injuries have very long recovery periods and may experience permanent disability.
