Motorcycle riders face greater risks on the road, and even a minor collision can lead to life-changing injuries. If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident in Shreveport or Bossier City, Collins Law is here to protect your rights and help you pursue the compensation you deserve. Our team understands the challenges injured riders face and works to ensure you’re treated fairly by insurance companies.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable in a crash because they have little physical protection, and many Louisiana motorcycle accidents happen when other drivers fail to notice riders or misjudge their speed and distance. Collisions are often caused by drivers who fail to yield, make unsafe lane changes, drive distracted, speed, tailgate, or operate a vehicle while impaired. Road hazards and poorly maintained streets also contribute to serious wrecks. If another driver’s negligence led to your motorcycle accident, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, motorcycle repairs, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
Because motorcycles offer less protection than passenger vehicles, riders often suffer severe, long-lasting injuries. Even low-speed crashes can cause major physical damage, while high-speed collisions may result in permanent disability.
Collins Law represents riders and passengers with injuries such as:
Leg, rib, arm, and collarbone fractures are common. Some require surgery, plates, screws, or extended rehabilitation.
Sliding across pavement causes deep abrasions and skin loss. Severe road rash may require skin grafts or lead to nerve damage.
Even helmeted riders can experience concussions or more serious brain injuries. Symptoms may include memory issues, headaches, and cognitive impairment.
Damage to the spine can cause paralysis, limited mobility, or chronic pain requiring long-term care.
Blunt-force trauma can lead to internal bleeding or organ damage—sometimes not immediately noticeable and potentially life-threatening.
Whiplash, herniated discs, and muscle injuries can lead to chronic pain and limited movement.
Deep lacerations, burns, or severe wounds often result in lasting scarring or long-term physical limitations.
These injuries often require extensive medical care, ongoing treatment, and significant recovery time—and Collins Law works to ensure your claim reflects the full extent of your losses.
Motorcycle accident victims are often unfairly blamed after a crash. Insurance companies may suggest the rider was speeding, lane-splitting, or acting recklessly—even when the evidence shows otherwise. Collins Law challenges these tactics and works to protect your rights from the very start.
When you hire Collins Law, we conduct a thorough investigation of the collision by reviewing the scene, examining police reports, assessing vehicle damage, and securing any available video or witness statements. We also gather the evidence needed to strengthen your case, including photographs, medical records, injury documentation, and expert analysis when required.
Our team works closely with your medical providers to understand the full extent of your injuries, long-term care needs, and future limitations. We calculate the complete value of your damages by considering medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, motorcycle repairs, and any lasting disabilities.
We handle all communication and negotiation with the insurance company to protect you from lowball offers and misleading questions. If the insurer refuses to treat you fairly, we are fully prepared to take the case to court.
