Grand Coteau Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcyclists make up a high percentage of traffic accident fatalities each year. More than 5,000 people lost their lives in a motorcycle-related accident in 2019, and the numbers are still high today. No matter how vigilant you are on the road, you might still get in an accident that could leave you severely injured or even result in a fatality.

Hiring a lawyer after a motorcycle accident gives you better chances of recovering the compensation you deserve. Our Grand Coteau motorcycle accident lawyer can help you file an injury claim. They are hardworking and will do their best to ensure you get a fair settlement from the responsible party.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents result in several injuries and fatalities because motorcycles don’t have enough protective covering. 80% of motorcycle accidents end in motorcyclist injuries or death. You need to be vigilant and take precautions when riding to protect yourself. This involves knowing some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents and avoiding them. Some of these causes include:

Alcohol

Even though driving while drunk is dangerous and illegal, motorcyclists unfortunately still do it. 43% of motorcycle accidents involve drunk drivers. A driver driving under the influence is a danger not only to themselves but also to other road users. Riding a motorcycle requires complex handling and the rider to have excellent coordination. Driving after drinking takes that ability away, so do not drive your motorcycle while drunk or on drugs no matter how short a ride.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Improper Licensing or Lack of License

You need to have an up-to-date license when riding your motorcycle. Drivers with expired licenses or those without licenses break the law and put themselves and others at risk. Licensing tests also educate drivers about the dangers to expect on the road and how to avoid them.

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

Reckless Driving

Many motorcycle accidents occur because motorists are not vigilant when driving. You need to focus on the road and not on anything else. Because of a motorcycle’s small size, most drivers might fail to see them on time and collide with them.

Reckless driving by motorcyclists and other vehicle drivers impacts their abilities to react on time. A Grand Coteau motorcycle accident lawyer can help you file a claim against a reckless driver and get you compensation for your injuries from the accident.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.

Unroadworthy Vehicles

Before taking any vehicle on the road, a driver must make sure the vehicle is roadworthy. Proper care and maintenance are necessary for all vehicles. This prevents parts from malfunctioning and causing an accident. 

Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

Factors such as speeding, driving under the influence, and bad roads can cause severe injuries that leave the victim in pain. A Grand Coteau motorcycle accident lawyer can use these injuries to base your claims, ensuring the responsible party takes care of the resulting bills. Some of the injuries you can sustain from a motorcycle accident include:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Because of the lack of protection on motorcycles, a hard impact can affect the motorcyclist’s upper extremities. They can land on their head, and the effect between their head and where they land can impact their brain. Motorcyclists have higher chances of getting traumatic brain injuries than passengers of other vehicles, leaving them with lasting damage and severe head trauma. 

Traumatic brain injuries have three degrees, the first being mild traumatic brain injury that can cause a concussion. A moderate TBI can result in loss of consciousness for some hours, and a severe brain injury can create a loss of consciousness for days or even months. These are serious injuries that will need continuous medical attention, costing thousands of dollars.

Internal Injuries

The impact from the accident can cause trauma to the internal organs that result in life-threatening injuries. One of these injuries can lead to internal bleeding that is not easy to detect. You need to seek medical attention soon after a motorcycle accident to get proper treatment right away.

Spinal Cord Injury

Injuries in an accident can focus on the spinal column. This can leave you disabled, either temporarily or permanently. Some spinal cord injuries leave their victims paraplegic or quadriplegic.

Why Hire a Lawyer?

The injuries associated with motorcycle accidents oftentimes are severe and require continuous medical attention. This can get expensive and take a toll on your finances. A Grand Coteau motorcycle accident lawyer is there to ensure you don’t have to deal with this by yourself. Below are a few things a motorcycle accident lawyer can do for you.

Filing Claims

A motorcycle accident lawyer drafts and files relevant lawsuits and claims against the responsible party and/or the insurance company. The claims list the damages you incurred from the accident and gives them a monetary value to seek as compensation.

Collecting Evidence

You need adequate evidence to prove your case to the insurance company or the court. A Grand Coteau motorcycle accident lawyer rolls up their sleeves and searches for all available evidence. Some of the evidence they may be able to collect include:

  • Footage of the accident and the accident scene
  • Medical and police reports
  • Eyewitness statements

Negotiating Compensation

The insurance company wants to pay you the lowest amount possible. The responsible party might also have legal representation, ensuring that they pay you as little as they can. Your lawyer will also do the same for you, negotiating with the other party to ensure you get a compensation amount covering all your needs. The compensation you may be able to seek out would cover:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Cost of repairing or replacing damaged possessions
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of income

A Grand Coteau motorcycle accident lawyer will handle all negotiations with the other party to cover your expenses.
