MOTORCYCLE CRASH ATTORNEYS

Handling Motorcycle Injury Claims & Lawsuits

Motorcyclists deserve the utmost care from other motorists whenever they are on the road. One small mistake and a motorcycle rider could be in a life-changing accident. Unfortunately, many drivers do not take their responsibilities seriously, and they cause tens of thousands of motorcycle accidents each year across the country.

If you were in a motorcycle accident and left seriously injured, do not let your story become just another statistic for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to track. Make sure your case is heard and your right to compensation is respected. Start by coming to Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers in Bossier City. Our motorcycle accident attorneys would be proud to be your legal allies and champions during this difficult time.

Devastating Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents usually result in severe injuries. The NHTSA even estimates that a motorcyclist is nearly 30 times more likely to suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries than motorists in different types of vehicles when they are in similar crashes. Why is it that motorcycle accidents are so devastating? The simple answer is that motorcyclists have very little protection from the worst an accident can do, which is why it is so important for motorists to be even more cautious and responsible whenever they share the road with a motorcycle.

In motorcycle accident cases, claimants often cite these catastrophic injuries when demanding damages:

Traumatic brain injuries

Spinal cord injuries

Road rash

Multiple broken bones

Traumatic brain injuries

A helmet can only do so much to protect a motorcyclist’s head in a crash. The most concerning risk of a motorcycle accident is a life-changing traumatic brain injury (TBI). Even a “mild” TBI can cause serious complications like memory loss, speech impediments, physical disabilities, and more.

Spinal cord injuries

If a motorcyclist is thrown off their ride in a crash, they run the risk of slamming into the asphalt. The force of the impact can cause severe damage to the back, shoulders, neck, and spine. Spinal cord damage can cause immediate, permanent paralysis.

Road rash

When a motorcyclist slides across the asphalt in a crash, even with protective clothing, they could suffer a severe soft tissue injury called road rash. The friction of the slide can destroy layers of skin and risk infection. Severe road rash can even destroy tissues down to the bone.

Multiple broken bones

It is common for motorcyclists to suffer multiple broken bones in a crash. Recovery will be painful and extensive, possibly leaving the rider in traction for weeks. If the bones do not set and heal correctly, then there could be lifelong consequences.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

How did your motorcycle accident happen? The question seems simple, but the answer might be complicated. We will want to conduct a full investigation of your accident to see if we can pinpoint exactly what went wrong and who is responsible. In the end, we should be able to prove that full liability belongs to the other party, not you.

Three of the worst, most common causes of motorcycle accidents are:
