A Chataignier bicycle accident lawyer with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can review your accident and help you file a claim or lawsuit that compensates you for your injuries, pain, and suffering.

How Our Chataignier Bicycle Accident Lawyer Can Help Your Case

When you hire our Chataignier bicycle accident injury lawyer, we will manage your entire case, which allows you to focus on healing from the accident. We will:

  • Collect evidence and witness statements
  • Investigate the accident site to determine what happened
  • Consult experts who can offer insight into your accident and injuries
  • Determine who is liable, set a fair settlement value, and file claims
  • Keep you posted on your case and answer any questions
  • Represent you at the negotiating table and at trial if negotiations fail

You do not have to accept what an insurance company tells you is right and fair. Don’t take whatever lowball settlement they offer to you. You have the right to know exactly how much you have lost and a right to recover it. We want to help you recover physically, financially, and emotionally.

Building a Case for Negligence for a Chataignier Bicycle Accident

Our injury lawyer can review the accident to learn what happened and determine how negligence played a role in your accident.

Louisiana Comparative Negligence Law

Although you have a right to seek damages, an insurance company could try to blame you fully or partially for the accident. If this happens, your award amount could be reduced. Under CC Art. 2323, any negligence the plaintiff exhibits could lower their final damage award.

For example, if you are 20% responsible for the accident, any financial award you recover can be reduced by 20%. So, if your award is $10,000, you will recover only $8,000. Our injury lawyer serving Chataignier understands comparative negligence and can explain how or if it affects your case.

CTA CTA

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Statute of Limitations in Louisiana Bicycle Accident Cases

If you choose to move forward with your case, you must do so promptly. CC Art. 3492, Louisiana’s statute of limitations, gives injury victims only two years from the accident date to file an injury lawsuit. You also have two years to file a wrongful death action, per CC Art. 2315.2.

Don’t let time run out. You can reach out to our Chataignier bicycle accident lawyer today to discuss your case.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.

Common Injuries in Bicycle Accidents in Chataignier

Bicyclists must remain aware of the traffic around them and follow traffic rules, or they risk suffering an injury. However, whether you ride a bicycle for relaxation or to get to work, you have the right to a safe experience. Even if you obeyed all traffic laws, you could get hit by a vehicle.

Any accident with a vehicle can cause significant injuries. However, the injuries can be much worse when you are on a bicycle and crash with a motor vehicle. You must consider that you are much closer to the ground than you would be in a vehicle.

Also, a motor vehicle weighs much more and has a lot more metal than a bicycle. You are in a more vulnerable position all around. Some of the injuries you may sustain from a bicycle accident include:

  • Head trauma, including traumatic brain injury
  • Neck damage
  • Herniated disc or spinal cord damage
  • Paralysis
  • Broken bones
  • Facial or dental injuries
  • Cuts, scrapes, and bruises

Our lawyer will assess all your injuries and seek the appropriate compensation. Keep your receipts, invoices, medical records, and other communications about your injuries. We can use them to make your case for damages.
