Do You Need a Lawyer after a Louisiana Bicycle Accident?

Cyclists hop on their bikes because it is a fun, healthy and quite convenient way of going quickly from one place to another. For others, it is a sport, a very complete outdoors workout to train and develop their muscles and cardiovascular health. Whatever the motivation, accidents are not part of it.

Unfortunately, even if bicycle accidents do not happen very frequently, they can have very serious consequences, because the cyclist is so poorly protected in case of a crash or a fall. Many bicycle accident victims end up with broken bones, brain injury, road rash, or internal injuries.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a serious bicycle crash in Louisiana, you need to talk to a reputable New Orleans bicycle accident law firm, for several reasons:

• You need to prove fault. Your claim rests on your ability to prove that the other party was at fault, whether you collided with a car, were victim of a hit-and-run accident, fell because of unmarked dangerous road conditions, or were struck by another cyclist. Proving fault requires immediate action on the scene and afterwards to collect evidence, reports and testimonies;
• Your medical file must be airtight. You need to build your medical case to maximize your chances of getting just compensation, whatever the complexities of the medical issues you are facing. This requires the skills and medical proficiency of an experienced personal injury law firm.
• You need lawyers who know how to deal with insurance companies. Insurance adjusters use time-tested methods to make you accept a settlement that is often much lower than the one to which you are entitled. Our firm knows what to expect from insurance companies and how to counter their tactics and threaten them with litigation if necessary.
• You want attorneys who are ready to fight. Successful law firms reach a just settlement because of their determination and perseverance. This is not just a question of hard work, but of fighting spirit.
