Louisiana has a pure comparative negligence doctrine. This means that even if you contributed to the motorcycle accident that caused your injury, you can still seek damages.
Your compensation will be reduced by the amount of your fault.
For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for the motorcycle accident, you would only receive 80% of the awarded damages.
If you are injured by a negligent driver, it is likely that they will dispute the claim or try to shift blame onto you to lower the amount they have to pay. If this happens, contact a Lake Charles motorcycle accident lawyer to discuss your case.
