Understanding Louisiana's Bicycle Laws
As an experienced attorney, J. Quentin Simon has significant knowledge of Louisiana's laws and how these laws apply in his personal injury practice. Louisiana has a new law pertaining to bicycle accidents. This law states that motorists must maintain a distance of a least three feet from a bicyclist when passing the bicyclist. Failure to follow this law can result in the bicyclist being "buzzed" by the car, knocking the cyclist off the bike or causing the cyclist to run off the road. Bicycle accidents can result in serious injuries and fatalities.
Our firm provides vigorous advocacy to people injured in bike accidents. We can analyze evidence to determine if the motorist broke a law and hold that motorist accountable for his or her negligence.
The law office of J. Quentin Simon, Ltd., handles serious personal injury claims and wrongful death and/or survival damages claims.
