How To Manage The Aftermath Resulting From A Serious Motorcycle
Accident With One Call

Not too long ago, I was driving on I-10 and was slowed down by traffic approaching what looked like an accident scene.  I could see the lights of several emergency vehicles and, as I neared the scene, I could tell a motorcycle was involved.

The rider appeared not to be seriously hurt because I could see him sitting up and being responsive while being attended to by Paramedics.

In my line of work, I would consider him to be a very lucky individual because a motorcycle accident with minor injuries is a rare event.

My name is Mike Gertler, and I’m a Motorcycle Accident Attorney in New Orleans and one of the founders of the Gertler Law Firm.

If you’re visiting this web page, I would imagine that you or a member of your family have been involved in a motorcycle accident that was the result of carelessness by a motor vehicle operator.

I’m hoping the accident was not severe enough to warrant a long hospital stay – or that a loved one lost his or her life.

But if the accident was severe enough, and the cause was no fault of the rider, I’d advise you to retain an attorney as quickly as possible.

The hospital bills can be enormous.  The recovery period from the injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident can sometimes take years. Occasionally, the impact of those injuries will be with you forever.  Amputations and Traumatic Brain Injury are all too common in motorcycle accidents, and financial resources needed to cope are beyond the ability of most families.

Because the costs related to treatment of these injuries is so steep – or because the effort to seek legal recourse against the individual that caused your loved one’s death is complicated – I’d recommend you partner with a law firm that has significant experience with vehicle accidents.

And we’d like to be the firm that you rely on for help.
