WITH OUR LAFAYETTE MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
All automobile accidents are serious, with car crashes being some of the most frequent.
However, motorcycle collisions are often much more severe due to a motorcycle’s speed, proximity to the pavement, small size, and lack of protection compared to other vehicles. Motorcycle accidents can result in serious physical injuries, including dangerous brain injuries.
Not only can you be physically harmed in a motorcycle accident, but your cognitive abilities can also be affected.
DO FOR ME?
If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident in Lafayette, New Iberia, or throughout Louisiana, our attorneys are ready to bring the aggressive advocacy we have honed over the years. We have a proven track record as we have obtained millions of dollars for clients in nearly half a century of practice. We can work toward the compensation to which you are entitled.
In the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, you should be focused on your own recovery, not preparing a case. Our Motorcycle accident attorneys are knowledgeable and can put together a quality case for you.
Our motorcycle accident attorneys are ready to take on the insurance companies who may try to offer you a settlement that’s less than you deserve.
If necessary, our lawyers will be ready to present your motorcycle accident case in court, giving you the best possible chances of securing a favorable outcome.
Our motorcycle accident lawyers can help secure compensation that can make up for lost wages, medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, decreased quality of life, and more.
If your loved one didn’t survive the injuries they sustained in a motorcycle accident, a wrongful death suit can allow us to secure compensation for lost wages, funeral expenses, and other losses.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
In Louisiana, the deadline for filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit against the responsible party is one year from the date of the motorcycle accident. However, it can be shorter if you’re filing a lawsuit against a government entity. If you fail to file your claim before the deadline, you will be unable to recover compensation for your damages and will be responsible for paying all of your medical bills and other injury-related expenses.
Because of this, it’s important that you contact a law firm to handle your case immediately.
The Law Offices of Richard R. Kennedy encourage motorcyclists to request a free consultation with one of our attorneys before time runs out. We can help you achieve justice, protect your livelihood, and collect the restitution you deserve.
WITH ONE OF OUR INJURY ATTORNEYS
Our comprehensive understanding of complex personal injury cases readies us for motorcycle injury cases. From the moment we partner with clients, we personally investigate the case, which may include consulting accident recreation specialists, doctors, and other experts. We do this to determine liability in your motorcycle accident case, and to ensure that we are more prepared than our opponents.
Hiring one of our motorcycle accident lawyers is a better idea than filing an injury claim on your own. An experienced lawyer knows how the court system works and understands the kinds of claims you can make.
If going to court is necessary, we are unflinching when it comes to working toward your best interests. This approach has the unique effect of saving us from going to court the majority of the time — our opponents realize early on how serious we are and are often more than willing to settle for fair compensation.
IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
In Louisiana, the driver who causes the motorcycle accident is typically held liable for damages resulting from the accident. However, there are instances where both drivers can be partially to blame for the accident.
Louisiana law uses the pure comparative negligence system in which all parties involved in the motorcycle accident are assigned a percentage of the blame. In these cases, you may still be able to receive compensation if the other driver is determined to be more at-fault than you.
Each person’s liability for an accident is determined by comparing each driver’s carelessness. These factors are discussed during claim negotiations when you and an insurance adjustor discuss the variables that may factor into the accident.
Our lawyers can also determine if other parties may also be at fault. For example, defective motorcycle parts and poorly maintained roads can contribute to an accident, making manufacturers and local government entities at fault.
Determining liability can be confusing, so if you’ve been in a motorcycle accident, contact the Law Offices of Richard R. Kennedy as soon as you can.
The Law Offices of Richard R. Kennedy work on a contingency basis, meaning we will only take a reasonable percentage of your eventual verdict or settlement. We will never charge you unless and until we secure compensation.
