Seldom does a motorcycle rider escape a collision with a vehicle unscathed, with thousands of lives each year claimed by motorcycle accidents. Most motorcycle wrecks occur because car and truck drivers claim they did not see the motorcycle when entering the intersection or turning left. Failure to see a motorcycle is no excuse because the car or truck driver has a duty to keep a proper look out and to see what he or she should see, including a motorcycle.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or suffered a wrongful death in a motorcycle accident, contact the experienced Louisiana injury attorneys at Due', Price, Guidry, Piedrahita & Andrews in Baton Rouge. We will investigate all potential causes of your motorcycle wreck and will explore every available source of recovery to compensate you for your serious injuries and damages. We will leave no stone unturned in determining your legal rights. The other driver that caused your accident may have been "on the job", thus rendering his or her employer responsible for your serious injuries and damages. Or, a defective highway or roadway may have caused or contributed to your accident. In one motorcycle accident case our law firm handled in Ascension Parish, we obtained a $15,000,000 judgment against the State of Louisiana, through the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), for a teenager who was rendered quadriplegic in a motorcycle accident due to a defective highway in Prairieville, Louisiana, that violated various regulations and industry standards designed to allow a driver to safely take evasive action in case of an emergency.

Remember that Louisiana law applies pure comparative fault to motorcycle accidents. So, even if you were partially at fault in causing your motorcycle wreck, you may still be entitled to money damages to compensate you for your serious injuries if some other person or entity was also partially at fault.
