Andrew Moped Accident Lawyer

A moped can be a convenient, eco-friendly, and fun way to get around, but unfortunately, some drivers on the road simply do not treat these small vehicles with the caution and courtesy that they should.

If you or a loved one have suffered an injury in a moped accident due to the negligence of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation. While you focus on your recovery, an Andrew moped accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to manage your personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit. We also handle wrongful death cases.

For a free consultation on your case with a member of our team, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (337) 777-7777. We may be able to help you sort through your legal options and figure out your path forward.

Common Causes of Moped Accidents

If another party’s negligence caused your moped accident, they may be liable for your damages. This may include accidents caused by:

Distracted Driving

Unfortunately, distracted driving is quite common these days. Drivers who spend time messing with their radio or smartphone can be a tremendous danger to anyone else on the road. A driver of a motor vehicle who is not devoting their full attention to driving can easily hit a moped or other vehicle, causing an accident.

Driving While Impaired

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly punished under the law, but this dangerous behavior still occurs regularly in Louisiana. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), self-reported instances of drunk driving in Louisiana exceed the national average. The CDC also reports that more than 3,000 people were killed in drunk driving crashes in Louisiana between 2003 and 2012.

Traffic Law Violations

Any time a driver causes an accident by violating a traffic law, they may be liable for the resultant damages. This can include:

  • Changing lanes without checking to make sure the space they are entering is clear
  • Not using a turn signal
  • Failure to yield
  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Speeding
  • And more

Dangers of Moped Accidents

Unfortunately, a moped does not offer all of the protections that a passenger vehicle does. Cars are built to protect the occupants in the event of a crash, with special “crumple zones” and airbags that can help prevent the worst outcome of an accident. A moped offers no such protection, aside from the helmet you are wearing.

Moped accident injuries may include:

  • Broken bones
  • Road rash
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Organ damage
  • And more

Make sure to have your injuries evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible after your accident.

Fatal Moped Accidents

Unfortunately, moped accidents can also result in death. In that case, loved ones may be able to pursue wrongful death damages against the responsible party.

Civil Code (CC) § 2315.2 allows surviving family members to bring wrongful death suits in Louisiana, with the spouse and children of the deceased receiving first priority. If the deceased does not have children or a spouse, surviving parents can pursue a case.

There are other rules for wrongful death suits and who can file for damages. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers also handles wrongful death cases and invites you to call our team at (337) 777-7777 to learn more about your options during a free case review.

Damages in a Moped Accident Case

Depending on the nature of your accident and injuries, the potentially recoverable damages may include:

Medical Costs

You may be able to recover compensation for your accident-related doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription drugs, therapy, and more. Your estimated future costs of medical care may also be covered.

Lost Wages

An injury from a moped accident can easily keep you out of work for an extended period of time. If you had to stop working after your accident, you may be able to pursue compensation for your lost wages.

Reduced Earning Potential

If your accident has left you permanently unable to work at the same job, advance in your career, or work the same number of hours, you may be able to pursue compensation to help make up for this reduced earning potential.

Pain and Suffering

Any other pain and suffering experienced due to your accident may be considered when compensation is calculated.

Note that a different set of damages may be available to individuals pursuing compensation in a wrongful death case. Wrongful death damages may include funeral costs, pre-death medical care, loss of wages, and more.

CTA CTA

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
