Bicycle Accidents

When a bicycle collides with a motor vehicle, even a small one, the bicyclist can receive serious injuries. Louisiana follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means that even if a victim is partly at fault for an accident, if another party is somewhat at fault, the victim can recover damages from that party. With the help of our experienced bicycle accident attorneys, you can focus on healing while we expertly handle your case.

Distracted Driving

Drivers have a responsibility to pay close attention to their surroundings. Engaging in other activities behind the wheel puts everyone on the road at risk. Common distractions include texting, talking on the phone, adjusting the radio, eating, and putting on makeup. If a distracted driver caused your accident, we will fight for the compensation you deserve.

Honest, straight forward attorney that explained everything about the legal process concerning my case. I never felt pressured to accept any offer that was made on my case, I was allowed to decide what I would accept. If I ever needed an attorney again, he would be the one I would choose. I trust him so much I have recommended him to others that I know.

I wasn't sure on how to go about trying to get my life back after an automobile accident. A friend, Jay Wilkinson, recommended I speak with Richard Kennedy at the Law Offices of Richard R. Kennedy, APLC located in downtown Lafayette, LA. While some wouldn't consider my accident a big one, it derailed my life completely. I was self employed, as a business analyst, with clients all over the county (Dallas and Houston, Texas; Ft. Collins, Colorado; West Sacramento and San Francisco, California; New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Las Vegas, Nevada). My ability to travel was pertinent to accommodate my clients needs and attend conferences to meet potential clients as my business grew. The pain continued to increase, which made travel impossible, as well as, being distracting which effected my ability to focus. Pain medication and muscle relaxers to try and control the pain levels also affected my ability to concentrate and stay focused. I began missing critical deadlines, which was not acceptable as I was brought in to identify the bottlenecks in their process flow, to get them back on track. The pain and medications made it impossible to function. For the first time in my life I lost clients, and my reputation. After speaking with Mr. Kennedy, we formulated a plan to go forward...first, he had me evaluated to make sure the problems I was having were not the result of some other causes. Then, they investigated all aspects. Always keeping me informed along the way. They make sure you fully comprehend everything and take the time to answer questions and concerns. They are also protective of you, not just during depositions but the entire process. You feel like you are family and that they have your best interests in the forefront.
