Louisiana Recreational Vehicle Accident Lawyer

The term recreational vehicle refers to dirt bikes, three-wheeled vehicles, all terrain vehicles (ATVs), snowmobiles, jet skis, utility trailers, motor homes, and other such vehicles. As the number of recreational vehicles, or RVs as they are commonly known, increases, so do the related accidents. Most such accidents are preventable and usually caused by reckless operation of the vehicles or poorly maintained equipment.

There can be nothing worse than getting injured in a recreational vehicle accident when on a holiday, especially one which has been caused due to somebody’s negligence. The first thing to do in such cases is to seek medical assistance for the injured person. If you have been injured, notify an experienced Louisiana car accident lawyer at the earliest. This is not the time to procrastinate.

Precautions and Prevention

Some basic training on how to handle the recreational vehicle before using it and education about the safety procedures to be followed may reduce the number of accidents taking place. Children must also be made aware of the dangers of misuse of such equipment and vehicles. Young children and teens must not be allowed to use these machines without sufficient adult supervision. Proper maintenance of vehicles and equipment as well as regular safety checks can go a long way in preventing such incidents. Keeping children secured in these vehicles while in motion can keep them safe in the event of any untoward incident and help in the reduction of fatalities. When driving a motor home or utility trailer, the driver has to be careful when maneuvering the vehicle especially on narrow roads and sharp turns.

Damages and Compensation Receivable

Accidents involving a recreational vehicle can lead to passengers and the driver becoming hurt. Head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, fractures, broken bones, as well as permanent disability are possible in these mishaps. This happens because sometimes people get ahead of themselves and concentrate more on having fun rather than being safe. The extreme terrain that vehicles like ATVs are used on only help raise the risk factor.

License Requirements in Louisiana

Seeking compensation or suing for damages in an accident involving a recreational vehicle can be a difficult task. This is because many people are uninsured or under insured since there is no requirement for insurance when on trails or in the woods. In fact, even a driving license is not required to operate RVs. Due to these reasons most such accidents are not really investigated or documented by law enforcement agencies.

An attorney experienced in recreational vehicle accidents and injuries will conduct a thorough investigation of the accident, find out if defective equipment or parts led to the accident, identify responsibility and liability, handle all insurance related matters, and seek adequate compensation for your loss and damages. When dealing with insurance companies, the assistance of a lawyer will prove invaluable as the opposition will have teams of attorneys at their disposal. Your attorney will be able to get you justice and adequate compensation to make up for your monetary losses.
