Port Barre Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Most bicycle accidents happen because others fail to safely share the road with cyclists. A driver may fail to yield the right-of-way, thus causing an accident. They could also speed, drive while drunk, and ignore traffic lights. After a bicycle accident in Port Barre, you deserve to hold the negligent party liable for your losses.

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we can help you seek justice for your injuries and other damages. Our Porte Barre bicycle accident lawyer manages personal injury cases like yours, and to date, our firm has recovered more than $200 million for clients in verdicts and court-ordered awards. They can explain what the compensation process entails and help you fight for damages.

How to Recover Compensation After a Bicycle Accident in Port Barre

Each state has its laws on compensation after a motor vehicle traffic accident. In Louisiana, the party responsible for your bicycle accident must compensate you for damages if they acted negligently and harmed you. However, their insurance company may not want to cover your losses or cover them in the full amount you deserve.

Our Porte Barre bicycle accident lawyer can help you file an insurance claim. The insurance company, however, may not want to pay the full value of your claim to protect its bottom line. The insurer may try to use what you say to deny or devalue your claim. Hiring our Port Barre attorney means you don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing to the insurer. We will talk to them for you.

We can handle communications with the insurance company for you. We can also negotiate for a favorable settlement. You may have to sue the liable party if we cannot agree on a settlement amount. We can file your lawsuit and represent you at trial.

Determining Who Is Liable in a Porte Barre Bicycle Accident Case

You must prove the other party’s fault in the bicycle accident. Proving fault makes it possible to recover compensation. A significant part of proving fault is proving the defendant’s negligence caused your accident. Our attorney will set out to prove the other party acted carelessly, causing your accident.

Injury Cases Must Prove Four Things

Your Port Barre bicycle accident must have four elements to prove negligence in a bicycle accident case. The first element shows the at-fault party owed you a duty of care. Drivers owe other road users a legal duty to avoid harming them. The second element proves the at-fault party breached their duty.

Driving while distracted or drunk is a breach of duty. The third element shows you got hurt because the defendant breached their legal duty. Photos of your injuries and medical records can help prove your injuries. The final element shows you suffered other compensatory damages because of the accident.

How Comparative Fault Could Affect Your Port Barre Compensation

Comparative fault states that if you were partly responsible for your bicycle accident, your compensation will be reduced by your degree of contribution. So, if you bear 35% of the fault, you get only 65% of the total compensation.

The defense often uses the principle of comparative fault to reduce their legal responsibility for your accident. For example, they may claim you were cycling while distracted, which contributed to the accident. Our attorney can thoroughly investigate the accident to determine what happened that day in Port Barre.

Our attorney can:

  • Talk to witnesses and get their statements
  • Request and retrieve surveillance footage
  • Consult expert witnesses who can offer a professional opinion that supports your case
  • Review the police accident report

The evidence we gather can show if you contributed to the accident and, if so, by how much. We will fight on your behalf to show how the other party is liable for the accident or that their liability is greater than yours.

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

How Louisiana’s Statute of Limitations Affects Your Port Barre Bicycle Accident Case

The statute of limitations is legislation that outlines the time you have to file a lawsuit against the other party. The limitations period is different across the United States. For Louisiana, CC Art. 3492 specifies that you have two years from the date you suffered harm to file a civil lawsuit.

You must honor this timeline. If you don’t, you risk having the court throw out your case. We know how important it is for you to seek justice for the losses you suffered due to someone else’s negligence. So, we can handle your Port Barre bicycle accident case to help you meet all essential deadlines.

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.
