" Don't be a victim twice by accepting an insurance company settlement offer that will not truly cover the full extent of your injuries or losses, or by talking to the insurance company agents without legal representation. Call us first. I opened this firm because I want injured motorcycle victims like you to get the full compensation for their injuries and losses. Call me." ∙ Attorney Peyton Murphy ∙ Contact Murphy Law Firm
With a wealth of experience representing injured motorcyclists and the families of motorcycle accident wrongful death victims, we know that the best approach is to avoid accidents. When riding a motorcycle, it is important to:
- Wear a helmet: Louisiana motorcycle helmet laws require that helmets and eye protection be worn whenever a motorcycle is in motion.
- Pass other drivers cautiously: Motorcycles are entitled to an entire lane of traffic. However, this means that motorcyclists are prohibited by law from passing another vehicle within the same lane. RS 32:191.1
- Use caution when turning and changing lanes: The sad fact is that other drivers often don't see motorcycles when they are turning at an intersection or changing lanes on the highway. Intersections are common places for multi-vehicle collisions involving motorcycles.
- Be smart and pay attention: Obviously, driving while talking on a cell phone or texting is even more dangerous on a motorcycle than it is in cars or 18-wheelers. Be smart when you handle your bike and stay off the phone.
If you have been in an accident that caused you serious personal injuries, or if you have lost a loved one in a fatal motorcycle wreck, we will take the time to listen to your story, learn about your goals for representation, and fight for the best outcome possible in your case.
