Frequent Causes Of Bicycle Accidents In Louisiana
Some of the most common reasons that people have bike accidents include:
- Cars and other motor vehicles crashing into them
- Left or right hook while turning
- Vehicles running them off the road
- Drivers who are speeding or driving recklessly
- Dooring
- E-bikes that are going too fast
- Intoxicated drivers
- Drowsy drivers
- Distracted drivers
- Car tire, brake or steering components that are defective
You may also have had a bike accident because of poorly maintained roadways in Lake Charles or other cities in Calcasieu Parish. In these cases, the entity that is responsible for the road may be held liable.
Bicycle Accidents Often Lead To Severe Injuries
Bicyclists have no protection in a collision with a motor vehicle. Because they are vulnerable in an accident, their injuries may be catastrophic or fatal. You or your family member may have suffered:
- Complex fractures
- Loss of limb
- Concussion or traumatic brain injury
- Broken vertebrae
- Spinal cord damage
- Arm and leg injuries
- Severe road rash or lacerations
- Internal bleeding
- Organ damage
We understand that these injuries can be life-changing. We also know that they can result in the wrongful death of your loved one. You can turn to our compassionate lawyers for the help you need after serious or fatal injuries.
Was Your Child Injured In A Bicycle Accident?
We represent families whose child has suffered injuries in a bike accident. Kids can be more difficult for motorists to see, but it is still the driver’s responsibility to be careful, especially in school zones and near parks or playgrounds.
Another factor to consider is that children are more likely to suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries than adults. Their growing bodies cannot handle collisions as well as adults.
We know that a child being injured or losing their life is devastating. You can be certain that we will treat you with care and respect as we seek justice for your child.
