Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists lose these claims on assumption rather than on facts. The carrier starts from the idea that the rider was somewhere they should not have been, and the physical evidence usually says otherwise.
A cyclist has the rights of a driver
Louisiana gives a person on a bicycle substantially the same rights and duties as a motorist, a point adjusters get wrong routinely. Establishing it is often half the argument.
Dooring and right hooks
Two of the most common collisions are entirely the driver's doing, and both leave physical evidence on the door edge, the frame and the roadway. Damage patterns establish the sequence when memories will not.
Your auto policy may cover you on a bike
UM and UIM coverage on your own vehicle often reaches a cyclist struck by a car, including a hit and run. Most people have no idea that is true.
The fault fight is now existential
Since January 1, 2026, 51 percent fault ends a Louisiana claim outright. Lighting, helmet use and lane position are what the carrier will use to build that percentage.
