Motorcycle Accident Laws Impacting Louisiana Claims

Motorcycle accident law is designed to protect the rights of motorcyclists injured because of others’ negligence. Generally speaking, when the injured can prove the fault of the negligent party – whether that party be the manufacturer of a defective auto part or motorcycle part, a motorist with whom the motorcyclist crashed, or another entity – the injured may obtain damages for his injuries. Meanwhile, the particulars of the law – for example, statutes pertaining to liability, personal injury, wrongful death, filing suit, and additional matters – vary state to state. Therefore, it is crucial that victims understand the laws in their state, as those laws will impact the victim’s potential motorcycle accident claim.

With the help of an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer, you can understand and exercise your rights after a motorcycle collision. Contact Proner & Proner to schedule a free consultation with one of our motorcycle accident lawyers. We welcome clients throughout Louisiana.

State Motorcycle Accident Laws

Motorcycle accident laws in Louisiana include:

Helmet Laws

As Louisiana motorcycle accident statistics underscore, failure to wear a helmet is directly correlated with suffering catastrophic injury or death a motorcycle collision. Louisiana enforces a universal helmet law, which requires that riders of all ages wear a helmet while riding. The universality of this law distinguishes Louisiana from states that only require riders under a certain age to wear helmets and from states that do not have helmet laws.

Other Pertinent Personal Injury Laws

State personal injury law typically has a significant impact on the filing of a motorcycle accident claim. Personal injury laws in Louisiana include:

Statute of limitations – There is a one-year statute of limitations, or time limit, within which a personal injury victim must file suit. After this time limit passes, the injured may not seek or obtain damages for his injuries. The statute of limitations is one year for property damage claims (e.g. seeking compensation for damage to one’s motorcycle) and one year for product liability claims (e.g. seeking compensation for injuries caused by a defective motorcycle).

Comparative negligence – Per Louisiana comparative negligence law, when there is more than one negligent party, each party can be held comparatively negligent and made to pay damages according to his degree of fault. When the victim is comparatively negligent, the amount of damages he obtains is limited in proportion to his degree of fault.
