  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lasting Disfigurement
Gretna Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Bicycle injuries can be more severe than auto accident injuries because there is no protection around the person. A bicycle accident can lead to life-altering consequences or future disfigurement. If you have been in an accident while riding your bike, you have options to seek compensation for your injuries.

A Gretna bicycle accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will walk you through the process of filing a claim or a lawsuit. You can get started working with an attorney from our firm without paying anything up front, either.

Our lawyer can work to negotiate the terms of a settlement for you by discussing the evidence with the other party. They can help investigate the case and show evidence of the other party’s negligence. They can also represent you in a trial if needed.

Damages From Bicycle Accidents

Damages from a bicycle accident can escalate quickly, adding substantial costs. Injuries from a bicycle accident can also result in non-monetary damages.

Monetary damages are clear-cut because they are a result of the bills you will have from the accident. It can also include other costs or loss of income due to the injuries, such as:

  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Other accident-related expenses

Non-monetary damages refer to things like pain and suffering and reduced quality of life. Even though the injuries may not affect your physical well-being, they affect your quality of life. A Gretna bicycle accident lawyer can calculate the amount you can claim for non-economic damages. This way, you can seek the compensation you deserve.

Louisiana’s Comparative Negligence Doctrine May Affect Your Pedestrian Accident Case

Louisiana uses the “pure” form of the comparative negligence rule, according to CC Art. 2323. The comparative negligence rule means that even if you have some fault in the accident, you can file a case.

The other aspect of the comparative negligence doctrine is that the court will deduct the total award by the percentage of fault you have. For example, if your total award is $100,000, but you are found 30 percent at fault, you will receive $70,000 instead of the full amount.

A Gretna bicycle accident lawyer can investigate your accident to identify the liable parties and counter an insurance adjuster’s determination of fault if necessary.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

What is the Statute of Limitations in Louisiana?

Under CC Art. 3492, victims generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. The clock starts ticking from the date of the accident. You do not want to miss this deadline.

If we cannot negotiate a fair settlement with an insurer, you do not want to risk your last chance to seek compensation. Keep in mind that negotiations do not stall the statute of limitations. The sooner you start your case, the better you can protect your right to compensation.

In some pedestrian accident cases, we may suggest beginning with legal action, as well. Either way, you will want to get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

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

Bicycle Injuries

What type of injuries can you expect when in a bicycle accident? The major issue that could result in more serious injuries is that the accident involves a motor vehicle. If you get struck by a truck or larger vehicle, it will make things worse. Some injuries you may suffer include the following:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Paralysis
  • Broken bones
  • Head and neck injuries
  • Facial damage
  • Dental injuries
  • Lacerations and burns
  • Bruises

If you lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, our wrongful death lawyers can help your family seek compensation, as well.

See a Doctor as Soon as Possible

Make sure you seek medical attention following a pedestrian accident. Even if your injuries seem minor and you did not require emergency room care, play it safe and see a doctor. You may have severe injuries with latent symptoms, and they can worsen the longer you go without treatment.

A doctor can also help link your injuries to your accident, which helps us fight for compensation. Their documents can also give us an idea of any future medical costs you may incur down the line.

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.
