Natchitoches Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

For motorcyclists, being out on the open road is a thrilling feeling. However, bikes are inherently different from passenger vehicles and so crashes and the legal issues that follow them are also unique. If you have been injured while out on your bike, our Natchitoches motorcycle accident lawyer can help you build a strong case that will help you claim the full and fair compensation you deserve.

How Can a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help with Your Case

You are not legally required to work with a Natchitoches motorcycle accident lawyer when filing a claim after a crash. It is still highly recommended that you do obtain legal advice, though. Studies have shown that accident victims who have legal representation obtain approximately three times more compensation than those who do not. When working with our experienced attorney, they will complete many tasks on your behalf, which will include:

File your personal injury claim with the appropriate insurance company or court,
Determine who is at fault for your injuries, whether that is another motorist, manufacturer, or government entity,
Collect evidence to establish the fault of the liable party and show that you deserve compensation,
Keep you up to date on the status of your case,
Speak to the liable company’s insurance company on your behalf,
Outline your options for recovering compensation,
Represent you in court, if necessary, and
Answer all of your questions along the way.

Financial Compensation Available After a Motorcycle Accident

Personal injury claims are meant to compensate you for all of your injuries after a motorcycle accident. This includes any physical, emotional, or financial harm you suffered as a result of your crash. The compensation available in motorcycle accident cases is divided into two categories. Economic damages are those that have an actual dollar value. The most common economic damages in motorcycle accident claims include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and reduced earning capacity.

Non-economic damages do not have a concrete dollar value and so, they are much more difficult to calculate. Still, these damages are actual losses and you deserve compensation for them. The most common types of non-economic damages in motorcycle accident claims include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent scarring and disfigurement, and mental anguish. Due to the fact that these damages are not as quantifiable, it is important to speak to an attorney who can accurately value your claim.
