Cycling is a favorite hobby for millions of Americans and a favorite mode of transportation for many others. However, cycling can also be dangerous, especially if you are cycling on a busy road or neighborhood. If you are involved in a bicycle accident that is not your fault, you need to pursue damages through Louisiana personal injury lawsuit. An accident that involves a motorist and
Not everyone in Louisiana can legally drive. You have to be at least 16 and have passed the necessary tests to obtain a driver’s license. Any vehicle you purchase requires state registration if you want to drive it on the road. You also have to carry liability damage to cover the cost of any property damage or bodily injuries that result from a crash that
Chances are you see a car crash or two on any given day. And like most other drivers, you slow down, stare at the accident scene and drive off grateful that it was not you. However, the truth is, one day you might be involved in a car crash. If you are a victim of a car accident that is not your fault, you deserve
Dog attacks send thousands of Americans to the emergency room every year. If you are a victim of a dog attack, you may pursue the animal owner for compensation through a Louisiana premises liability lawsuit. But rarely do dogs attack out of the blue.

There’s a reason that jaywalking can be illegal. Pedestrians are supposed to use crosswalks, some of which may even be light controlled.

A TBI (traumatic brain injury) is caused by sudden damage to your brain resulting from a jolt or blow to your head. While there are many causes of these injuries, they are often seen in accident victims after a car, motorcycle or truck accident, an assault or a fall.

One of the biggest financial consequences of a deadly car crash will be the loss of income it creates. If the person who died was the primary wage-earner for the family, simply handling basic expenses can become a hardship. A wrongful death claim is an opportunity for surviving dependent family members to seek justice and hold a business or individual responsible for causing a fatal
Pedestrians, unlike drivers and passengers in motor vehicles, don’t have a vehicle to protect them in the event of a collision. Crashes involving pedestrians are among the most severe and deadly of all wrecks. Many factors contribute to your risk for a pedestrian crash, and a portion of those risk factors are outside of your control. There are certain things you can control, however. By
Many people think about the risk of infection when they think about a dog bite. While that’s usually the primary risk, the pressure of the bite force of some dogs can lead to fractured bones.
