Navigating motorcycle accident claims in Louisiana
Why motorcycle accidents happen so often here
From Claiborne Avenue to Veterans Memorial Boulevard, New Orleans traffic leaves little room for error. Distracted drivers, potholes, and sudden lane changes put riders in danger daily. Our team understands these hazards and how to prove negligence when drivers fail to share the road responsibly.
What to know about Louisiana motorcycle accident claims
Louisiana law requires helmets for all riders, but even with one, injuries can be catastrophic. We represent clients suffering from head trauma, fractures, and road rash, ensuring every loss is documented. Comparative fault laws may reduce damages if the rider is found partly responsible, but our job is to minimize that impact.
Dealing with insurance the right way
Insurers often assume riders are reckless. We counter that narrative with clear evidence — accident reconstruction, dashcam footage, and eyewitness accounts that tell the truth. We manage every communication so you can focus on recovery, not insurance games.
Our approach to motorcycle accident cases
We move fast to preserve proof of skid marks, gear damage, and vehicle impact patterns. Our attorneys work with experts to value long-term care needs and pain caused by trauma. Hampton & Harrison Law stands for fairness, not stereotypes.

Common questions about motorcycle accident claims
If I wasn’t wearing a helmet, can I still recover damages?
Yes, though insurance companies may argue partial fault for head injuries. We challenge those claims with expert testimony.
The driver fled after hitting my motorcycle — what can I do?
Report it immediately. You may recover under your uninsured motorist coverage, and we help clients file those claims.
What if I was partly at fault?
Louisiana’s comparative fault law allows recovery even if you share responsibility. We fight to reduce that percentage.
How long will my motorcycle case take?
It depends on the complexity and injuries. Many settle within months, but we never rush a case at your expense.
