ClientWhat You Can Expect from Your Bicycle Accident Lawyer in Houma

- Work with accident reconstruction experts to determine the accident’s cause
- Gather enough evidence to prove liability
- Interview witnesses who were present at the accident scene
- Review your medical records to verify the extent of your injuries

- Represent you in a court trial if necessary
Your Lawyer Can Determine Liability for Your Injury-Related Losses
After evaluating your case’s evidence, your lawyer will determine the at-fault and liable parties. The at-fault party caused your accident. The liable party pays for your losses.
The at-fault party in your case may include:
- A motorist
- A government agency
- A product manufacturer
- Another road user
One or more parties could be responsible for your losses. If so, we will manage communications with all of them, so you can focus on your recovery.

Our bicycle accident lawyers serving Houma can assess your situation and pursue recovery for your:
- Past, present, and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and income
- Property damage

The Louisiana Highway Safety Commission notes that, in 2020, more than 30 people lost their lives in bicycle accidents. If you lost a loved one in a bicycle accident, we’re terribly sorry. We know financial recovery can’t account for your loved one’s passing, yet, it can provide coverage for funeral costs and other related expenses.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
Rick Smith | ClientWe Will File Your Lawsuit Within Louisiana’s Filing Deadline
When it comes to filing bicycle accident lawsuits in Louisiana, you have a limited time to act. Under CC Art. 3492, you have exactly one year from the day of the accident to take legal action against the responsible parties. Under CC Art. 2315.2, you also have one year to file a wrongful death case.
If a loved one passed away in a fatal accident, a wrongful death lawyer in Houma will help you file all the necessary documents within the given time frame. The sooner you seek legal assistance, the more time your attorney will have to gather valuable evidence to support your claim.
It’s important to consider your legal options immediately after your collision. If you file your case in civil court outside the one-year filing deadline, you could lose the right to seek damages via litigation.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
