Catahoula Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

According to research, motorcycle accidents lead to over 5,000 deaths two years. These crashes often leave the victims with significant physical harm due to the limited protection a motorcycle provides during an impact. When you suffer injuries in a motorcycle accident, you may incur expensive medical treatment for your injuries.

A Catahoula motorcycle accident lawyer will help you pursue compensation for damages. They will work with you to prove a specific party was liable for the accident and related damages. Read on for more details about the causes of such crashes, common injuries, and how an attorney will be able to help you.

Cause of Motorcycle Accidents

Most Catahoula motorcycle accidents happen due to negligence by motorists. For instance, distracted drivers may change lanes without observing their environment and hit you. Others may drive above the speed limit and lose control of their vehicle, pushing you off the road.

Another prevalent cause of motorcycle accidents is bad weather conditions. These conditions may include fog or mist, heavy rainfall, and high winds. Since these weather issues can affect vehicle control, drivers should observe various precautions to ensure their safety, such as:

  • Driving slowly
  • Using headlights
  • Slowing down before turning
  • Maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles

Some motorcycle accidents can occur due to faulty and worn-out parts. Others may result from poor vehicle maintenance and a lack of service.

Determining Liability After a Motorcycle Accident

Since a Catahoula motorcycle accident can occur for many reasons, you should always determine the liable party before filing a claim. An attorney will study various details about your case to understand the primary cause. Depending on your case, they will also analyze evidence and reports by accident specialists. These measures allow the attorney to identify if a specific party breached their duty of care, leading to the collision.

One method a Catahoula motorcycle accident lawyer may use to determine liability is interviewing witnesses. During this process, an attorney often asks various questions to understand all the aspects leading to the crash. Some common inquiries are:

  • Can you explain how the incident occurred?
  • Was any driver speeding before the crash?
  • Where were you when the collision occurred?
  • What was the estimated distance between the involved vehicle before the collision?

Once your attorney gathers the details they need from the witnesses, they may confirm the details by using other evidence. For example, the lawyer may countercheck the information with the police report. They may also determine if the statements reflect the injuries that you sustained and the damage to the involved vehicles. 

Another way an attorney will identify fault for a Catahoula motorcycle accident is by studying videos. These may be from traffic cameras or CCTV systems in nearby buildings. Analyzing video footage will give the lawyer a step-by-step account of the crash.

Filing a Claim After a Catahoula Motorcycle Accident

When a lawyer identifies the party liable for a motorcycle accident, they will then begin the claims process. First, they will likely evaluate all the damages you sustained. After that, they will determine the proper reimbursement to claim for each injury based on impact, severity, and long-term effects.

The next step in the claims process is to write a demand letter and send it to the liable party’s insurance company. The document will include various details about the accident and your injuries, as well as why you are filing the case against the recipient.

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

A Catahoula personal injury lawyer will help you seek compensation for reduced quality of life. They can also claim an additional amount for the loss of life enjoyment. More damages the attorney may pursue on your behalf are:

  • Loss of consortium
  • Motorcycle repair expenses
  • Motorcycle replacement cost

Injuries Sustained in Catahoula Motorcycle Accidents

Catahoula motorcycle accidents can lead to a broad range of injuries. These often differ based on how the crash occurred, the side you fell on, and if you were wearing protective clothing. A concussion is a prevalent injury sustained in many motorcycle accidents. Such harm will occur when a vehicle hits you causing sudden head movements or can happen when you crash against a hard surface like a road or into a tree.

You may also suffer from a fracture after a Catahoula motorcycle accident. Fractures may affect one or several bones, depending on the nature of the impact. More injuries that are common in motorcycle accidents are:

  • Bruised ribs
  • Cut and lacerations
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Dislocated jaw

Motorcycle accidents occurring at high speeds can cause significant spinal injuries. Such physical harm may lead to temporary or even permanent paralysis.

How a Catahoula Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help

A Catahoula motorcycle accident lawyer will handle all the legal work so that you have ample time to recover from your injuries. One way an attorney can help is by gathering all the proof needed for your case. They will work with other motorcycle accident specialists to build a solid claim. Other ways an attorney can help you with your case is by:

  • Filing your motorcycle accident case within the statute of limitations
  • Providing legal advice
  • Giving frequent case updates
  • Representing you during meetings with insurance companies
  • Communicating with witnesses

Insurance companies may fail to offer satisfactory compensation for motorcycle accident damages. Your lawyer will help you fight for a better offer by negotiating with adjusters. Further, they will file a lawsuit against the liable party if they deny the claim.
