bicycle accident
Every year, thousands of pedestrians and bicyclists lose their lives in traffic accidents across the United States, and many more suffer serious injuries requiring emergency medical treatment and long recoveries.At the same time, communities across Louisiana continue to invest in walking and biking trails that encourage people to get outside and enjoy an active lifestyle.
One of the first questions injured cyclists ask after a bicycle accident is simple:"Who pays for all of this?"The answer depends on how the accident happened, who was responsible, and what insurance coverage is available.In many cases, the at-fault driver and their insurance company are responsible for compensating an injured bicyclist for both property damage and personal injuries resulting from the collision.
Being involved in a bicycle accident can be a frightening and overwhelming experience.Unlike occupants of motor vehicles, bicyclists have very little protection during a collision, which often results in serious injuries requiring extensive medical treatment and recovery time.
Motorcycle riders understand the freedom that comes with riding on Louisiana's roads and highways.Unfortunately, they also understand the risks.Unlike occupants of passenger vehicles, motorcyclists have very little protection when a crash occurs. For that reason, helmets remain one of the most important pieces of safety equipment a rider can own.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, motorcycle helmets reduce the risk of death by approximately 37% for operators and reduce the risk of head injury by approximately 69%. Thousands of lives have been saved as a result of helmet use.
