Fighting for the Full Compensation Injured Riders Deserve After Accidents

Motorcyclists in Harvey share the road with trucks, cars, and buses every day, and when riders are involved in collisions, they are often the ones who suffer the worst consequences. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, airbags, or seatbelts, even a low-speed motorcycle crash can result in catastrophic injuries. Lawyer Don knows how quickly these accidents can upend lives and how aggressively insurance companies try to minimize payouts.



Victims deserve someone who will fight for them with the same passion they bring to the ride. From crashes on Manhattan Boulevard to wrecks near the Harvey Canal, Lawyer Don represents injured riders with skill and determination.

What Makes Motorcycle Accidents Different?

Motorcycle accident cases involve more than just proving who ran a red light or failed to yield. They also include overcoming deep biases. Many insurers assume riders are reckless, even when the evidence shows otherwise. Lawyer Don understands these stereotypes and works to dismantle them in negotiations and in court.

Other unique challenges include:

• Visibility issues: Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the motorcycle before merging or turning.
• Road hazards: Potholes and debris can cause a rider to lose control, while poorly designed intersections can make them harder to see.
• Severity of injuries: Motorcyclists face far higher risks of life-changing injuries compared to car occupants.

By addressing these unique elements early, Lawyer Don builds stronger cases that account for the realities of riding in Harvey.

Frequent Causes of Motorcycle Collisions

Motorcycle accidents often stem from negligence by other drivers, poor road conditions, or a combination of both. In Harvey, common causes include:

• Drivers making unsafe left turns across oncoming motorcycles.
• Distracted driving, including texting or GPS use.
• Tailgating or failing to provide motorcycles with adequate following distance.
• Drunk or impaired driving.
• Dangerous intersections along U.S. 90 or local streets feeding into the Expressway.

Motorcyclists may be skilled at defensive riding, but even the best reflexes cannot prevent every crash. Lawyer Don holds negligent parties accountable so victims can focus on healing.

The Impact of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

The injuries sustained in motorcycle crashes often reshape a victim’s life. Beyond the emergency care and surgeries, recovery may require months of therapy and adaptations to daily living. Injuries frequently include:

• Road rash that can lead to infection or permanent scarring.
• Complex fractures and dislocations requiring surgical repair.
• Spinal cord trauma leading to partial or complete paralysis.
• Concussions and traumatic brain injuries with lasting cognitive effects.
• Amputations caused by direct trauma or surgical necessity.

These injuries affect more than just physical health. Victims face mounting medical bills, missed work, and emotional hurdles as they adjust to new limitations. Lawyer Don fights hard to ensure that damages reflect the full scope of loss, not just immediate expenses.

Types of Compensation an Injured Rider May be Entitled to Receive

Louisiana law allows motorcycle accident victims to seek financial recovery when negligence is involved. Compensation may cover:

• Emergency medical treatment and follow-up care.
• Lost income during recovery and reduced earning ability.
• Pain and suffering, including emotional distress.
• Motorcycle repair or replacement.
• Long-term support, such as home modifications or mobility aids.

Louisiana’s comparative fault system means compensation can be reduced if a rider is found partially responsible. Insurers often exploit this rule to reduce payouts. Lawyer Don challenges unfair blame shifting and fights to preserve the maximum possible recovery.
