Fatalities in Motorcycle Accidents

Tragically, some motorcycle accidents are fatal. In the unfortunate event that you lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident caused by another party’s negligence, you can bring a wrongful death claim against them under Louisiana law. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you with this process.

In a wrongful death claim, the surviving family of the decedent can seek compensation for a variety of expenses related to the death of their loved one, such as:

  • Pre-death medical bills
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Lost income
  • Lost value of household services
  • The loss of their guidance, companionship, or support

Nothing is worse than losing a loved one unexpectedly and because of someone else’s carelessness. Although no amount of money can ever replace what you’ve lost, it can help you cope with the financial stress.

CTA CTA

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.

Compensable Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

In general, you can request compensation for any injury that is a direct result of the accident. Even minor injuries could be included in your claim.

Some of the common types of injuries that motorcycle accident victims request compensation for include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): a TBI can lead to serious pain, suffering, and disruption in your daily life. After suffering a TBI, you may be dealing with headaches, memory loss, fatigue, difficulty sleeping or concentrating, and an inability to work.
  • Road rash: even if you are wearing protective clothing, road rash can still leave you with painful injuries and permanent scarring. In severe cases of road rash, hospitalization may be necessary to repair your injured skin and to prevent infection.
  • Paralysis: if you are thrown from your motorcycle or suffer a severe crushing injury, your spinal cord may be damaged in the process. A spinal cord injury could impact your motor function and other ability to move.
  • Broken bones: many motorcycle riders suffer serious broken bones due to the impact of the crash. A broken bone usually heals over time, but it can still lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, and other issues.

Many other types of injuries may be covered in a personal injury lawsuit. If you have not already spoken with a doctor about your injuries, it is a good idea to do that as soon as possible. Focusing on your healing and recovery should be your top priority.
