Motorcycle Helmet Laws in Louisiana
Motorcycles are an enjoyable and cost-effective means of recreation and travel, but they can also be very dangerous. Because of the open nature of motorcycles compared to other motor vehicles, motorcycle accidents are often catastrophic, causing serious personal injuries or the wrongful death of the motorcyclist(s) involved.
One of the most important motorcycle safety tips that can help people avoid motorcycle accidents and personal injuries is to know the relevant laws, especially helmet and protection laws:
- Mandatory helmets: Motorcyclists in Louisiana are required by law to always wear a safety helmet secured by a chin strap whenever the motorcycle is in motion. RS 32:190
- Mandatory eye protection: Except for when riding motorcycles equipped with windshields, motorcyclists in Louisiana are required by law to wear eye protection approved by the Secretary of State, and the eye protection worn at night must not be tinted. RS 32:190.1
- Liability insurance for sale of helmets: Manufacturers must have liability insurance of at least $100,000 before legally manufacturing, selling or distributing helmets to be used for motorcycle safety.
Due to the seriousness of the injuries involved, motorcycle accident litigation can become extremely complicated. Do not attempt to handle your case or the insurance company alone. Work with an experienced, successful motor vehicle accident attorney to get the best compensation award possible.
