Metairie Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Committed to Maximizing Your Motorcycle Accident Settlement
Motorcycle riders face unique risks every time they get on the road. Without the protection of a car’s frame, airbags, or other safety features, even a minor collision can result in serious and life-changing injuries. If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident in Metairie, you need an attorney who understands the unique challenges these cases present. Lawyer Don fights for injured riders and their families, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights are protected.
The Risks Motorcyclists Face
Motorcycles are less visible than larger vehicles, and drivers often fail to see them until it’s too late. Road hazards that barely affect cars, like potholes, loose gravel, or uneven pavement, can be dangerous or even deadly for a motorcyclist. When accidents happen, riders are far more likely to suffer severe injuries due to the lack of structural protection.
The aftermath of a crash can be overwhelming. In addition to physical recovery, injured riders often face mounting medical bills, lost income, and the stress of negotiating with insurance companies. We step in to manage the legal side of things so you can focus on healing.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes in Metairie often stem from:
- Drivers failing to yield when changing lanes, merging onto highways, or turning
- Distracted driving, including texting or phone use
- Speeding or reckless driving by other motorists and motorcyclists
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Following too closely
- Rear-end accidents at red lights, on gridlocked highways, or while waiting to turn
- Dangerous road conditions and poor maintenance
- Vehicle defects or mechanical failures
Lawyer Don investigates each case thoroughly, reviewing accident reports, witness statements, and any available video footage to determine exactly what happened and who should be held accountable.
Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in serious, long-term injuries, including:
- Broken bones
- Road rash and severe abrasions
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe lacerations and disfigurement
These injuries often require extensive medical care, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment. Our goal is to recover compensation that covers both immediate expenses and long-term needs.
