What are Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents In Louisiana?
In many cases, it’s the driver of the other vehicle, not the motorcyclist, who is at fault for a crash. Sometimes its: motor vehicle traffic failing to yield right of way to a motorcyclist, roadway defects leading to a loss of motorcycle control, or motor vehicle drivers not recognizing motorcycles in moving traffic. However, there’s no way to know who is at fault for a motorcycle accident without reviewing all the case facts.

Our motorcycle accident lawyers at the Gennusa Firm can help you maximize the payment you receive from the insurance company.
What Strategies Will Insurance Companies Employ To Deny Or Limit Settlement In A Motorcycle Accident Injury Claim?
In order to deny or limit settlements, insurance companies will use the same techniques they use in other accident cases – they will blame the rider for causing the accident or attempt to claim that the rider’s injuries aren’t serious. The insurance company will try to place as much blame on the rider as possible for causing the accident, sometimes regardless of what the police report or other evidence shows. The insurance company will also try to downplay the rider’s injuries and claim they aren’t as serious or long-term as the rider is claiming. The insurance company sometimes will try to discredit the type of doctor the rider went to and will even look at the medical records for “gaps” in treatment to claim the injuries aren’t serious.
