Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Who Fight the Bias Against Riders

The straight answer

Injured motorcyclists in Louisiana can recover full compensation even though insurers systematically undervalue rider claims. Most crashes are caused by car drivers violating the rider's right of way — and Louisiana's pure comparative fault rule means even a partially-at-fault rider still recovers.

Protect your claim

What to do after a motorcycle crash

Get evaluated immediately

Road rash hides fractures and internal injuries. Same-day records defeat the 'pre-existing' defense.

Preserve your gear

Keep the helmet, jacket, and bike exactly as they are — they're physical evidence of impact forces.

Find witnesses fast

Driver stories change once they realize a biker is hurt. Independent witnesses are gold.

Let us handle the adjuster

Rider claims get lowballed by default. We build the reconstruction that forces a real number.

Answers, up front

Frequently asked questions

Does Louisiana require motorcycle helmets?

Yes — Louisiana has a universal helmet law for all riders. Wearing one also protects your claim: it takes the insurer's favorite 'you contributed to your own injury' argument off the table.

Can I still recover if I wasn't wearing a helmet?

Usually yes. A missing helmet may reduce damages for head injuries under comparative fault, but it doesn't bar your claim — and it's irrelevant to injuries a helmet wouldn't have prevented.

Is lane splitting legal in Louisiana?

No, lane splitting is illegal in Louisiana, and insurers use it aggressively when it applies. If it's alleged in your case, don't concede it — reconstruction often shows the rider was lawfully positioned.

What if the driver's insurance is too small for my injuries?

Rider injuries routinely exceed a driver's minimum policy. We pursue your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) coverage and every other available policy — most clients don't realize how many layers exist.

Don't wait on the insurance company

Louisiana deadlines are strict and evidence disappears fast. The consultation is free, confidential, and carries zero obligation — and you'll know where you stand today.
