The allure of the open road is undeniable. However, it is also undeniable that other drivers are downright awful at sharing the road with motorcycles. When motorcycle accidents occur the injuries are often severe and debilitating. If you were involved in a motorcycle accident, you need the Louisiana motorcycle accident attorneys at Malvin Law.

The motorcycle accident lawyers at Malvin Law can help you get the personal injury compensation you’re owed for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages. Attorney Malvin has years of experience helping injury victims recover what they deserve and an in-depth knowledge of the Louisiana helmet laws and how they impact motorcycle accidents!

Motorcycles are smaller, lighter, and have no safety devices to help protect you in the event of a crash. Therefore, the injuries are typically more severe and require advanced medical treatment. Our firm has built relationships with providers to ensure you get the help that you need.

Beyond that, motorcyclists face unique issues that cars often don’t, such as:

• cutting off motorcyclists at traffic lights
• unsafe road conditions or defects leading to a loss of control
• failure to observe motorcyclist changing lanes
• failing to yield to motorcycles

Motorcyclists are often portrayed as dangerous and reckless.

According to Louisiana Law, you have one year from the date of accident to file a lawsuit. However, we recommend starting as soon as possible after the accident. This allows time to secure any available video footage, interview witnesses, investigate the accident scene, etc.

NO FEE, UNLESS WE WIN.

Most motorcycle attorneys work under a “retainer agreement” in which the client agrees to pay a percentage of their settlement / judgment at the conclusion of the case. This way, you never have to come out-of-pocket for your attorney. We work the same way. We get paid when you get paid. However, unlike other car accident attorneys, we promise to never to charge more than you receive, with few exceptions.

The value of your case is based on the facts of the case, your injury, and the accident. Therefore, we cannot provide a “calculator” or tell you exactly what to expect as every case is different. However, we did write an article on what damages are typically included.

In rare instances, such as when the other driver is convicted of a DUI/DWI, you may be able to recover punitive damages. Punitive damages are in addition to the general and specific damages typically awarded and serve as a means to punish bad behavior.

The length of your case depends on a few factors: (1) the severity of your injuries; (2) how quickly the insurance company responds; (3) whether we need to go to court. Typically, a minor to moderate accident that only involves “soft tissue” injuries can be resolved in a matter of months. However, we have seen cases require a year or more of litigation to obtain a fair result.
