Baton Rouge Fatal Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Baton Rouge and Lafayette Wrongful Death Lawyers

Compensation for the Tragedy of a Motorcycle Fatality

Anyone who rides a motorcycle knows the risks and the grim statistics. But that doesn't make it any easier to accept when a loved one is killed on a motorcycle. In fact, it's all the more difficult to bear when your family member's life was ended by someone else's carelessness.

Gordon McKernan and McKernan Law Firm have extensive experience in motorcycle accident litigation, including lawsuits for wrongful death. We are here to explain your rights and explore legal action to hold the other driver accountable for maximum compensation. Contact us online or by phone at 877-247-3310 for a free consultation.

We Understand What It's Like Out There

Attorney Gordon McKernan grew up riding motorcycles. He knows that the most careful rider is at the mercy of automobile drivers who aren't paying attention. He knows that non-motorcyclists — including those ladies and gentlemen of the jury — have negative assumptions about "bikers" as reckless.

Gordon uses his personal insights as a motorcycle rider and nearly 20 years of personal injury trial experience to turn the tables on the negligent motorist and that driver's insurance company. With the help of accident reconstructionists and other experts, our skilled legal team can prove that the car or truck driver turned left without yielding, pulled out into traffic, forced your loved one off the road or otherwise caused the tragedy.

Maximizing Compensation for the Survivors

Establishing fault is only half the battle in a wrongful death lawsuit. The McKernan Law Firm excels at fleshing out the full financial and emotional impact of a family member's untimely death. There may be decades of lost future earnings. You may have massive medical bills, plus funeral expenses. Furthermore, a spouse or child or parent is entitled to compensation for the loss of that person's love and companionship and contributions to family life.

We know that a motorcycle crash is a horrific way to die, and not always mercifully quick. If your loved one lived on for a time before succumbing to the massive injuries, the estate can also bring a separate survival action for the victim's conscious pain and suffering prior to death. These damages can be quite substantial.
