Driver Error Can Cause Bicycle Accidents

There are a variety of reasons that a bicyclist may get into an accident. Some of those causes may not be related to another vehicle. When driver error does play a role, it can include:

  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Crowding the lane, so the bicycle doesn’t have enough space
  • Improper lane changes
  • Failing to yield at a red light or stop sign
  • Failing to yield at appropriate places
  • Driving too close behind a bicyclist
  • Not paying attention to the road while driving
  • Driving too fast

These actions or failures constitute negligent driving, which can make the motorist liable for a bicyclist’s injuries.

What Are the Recoverable Damages in a Bicycle Accident?

If you got in a bicycle accident and sustained injuries, you have options to file for damages. You can seek both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages

Any type of injury can lead to many bills, unexpected costs, reduced income, and more. Some of these may include:

  • Medical bills
  • Medical equipment
  • Loss of wages
  • Loss of benefits
  • Disability income

A personal injury lawyer can assist you in filing your claim for damages.

Non-economic damages

Non-economic losses may also warrant compensation. For example, the mental suffering that a person goes through due to the loss of a loved one is considered damages, too. These non-economic damages include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of pleasure in life due to disability
  • Loss of consortium

Negligence Laws and Bicycle Accident Cases

Negligence laws can be contributory or comparative. Contributory negligence simply means that if a person contributes to the accident in any way, they can’t make a claim. Comparative negligence indicates the plaintiff can be at fault, but the award gets reduced accordingly. Louisiana uses the pure comparative negligence law, meaning you can be up to 99 percent at fault and file a claim. This law is found in Louisiana Civil Code Section 2323.

A Hammond bicycle accident lawyer will present any evidence that shows the other party was negligent. They will also calculate the amount of damages you are eligible to file a claim for.

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

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Bicycle Accident Cases in Louisiana?

As you proceed forward in filing a bicycle accident lawsuit, it’s important to do it in the right timeframe. Every state puts forth a statute of limitations. This statute indicates the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Louisiana, you can file a personal injury suit for a bicycle accident within two years of the date of the incident, according to CC Art. 3492. You generally have the same amount of time to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Our Hammond bicycle accident lawyer can help file the lawsuit in a timely manner.

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.
