Areas of Practice | Motorcycle Accidents
Negligent drivers, distracted truckers, and poor Louisiana road conditions are just a few causes of serious motorcycle injuries. Our firm represents innocent victims of motorcycle crashes.

Motorcycle accidents are most likely to occur in these high-risk situations:
  • Left Turns - The most common car-motorcycle collisions are those that occur at an intersection where the automobile driver is making a left turn in front of a motorcycle.
  • Vehicle's Blind Spot – Motorcycles traveling alongside a lane of cars are often out of the view of the driver. An unsuspecting driver may collide with a motorcyclist as the driver attempts to change lanes.
  • Large Vehicles - A large vehicle, such as a van or semi-truck, can block a motorcycle from a driver's view. The motorcyclist may seem to suddenly appear out of nowhere.
  • Hazardous Road Conditions - Potholes, fallen tree limbs, or railroad tracks may present minor problems for most drivers, whereas a motorcyclist may have to slow down or change lanes to avoid these obstacles.
  • Weather Conditions - When the road surface is wet or icy, a motorcyclist’s braking and handling abilities are impaired.
  • Strong Winds - A strong gust of wind can move a motorcycle across an entire lane of traffic if the driver is not prepared for it. Wind gusts from large trucks in another lane can be a real hazard.
After a motorcycle accident, you need an attorney who will protect your rights and represent you aggressively in pursuing your claim.
