Bossier City sits at the intersection of several busy roadways. Traffic along I-20, I-220, Airline Drive, and Benton Road creates conditions where collisions are frequent. Rear-end crashes at stoplights, T-bone accidents at intersections, and highway pileups are common across the parish.
After an accident, insurance companies move quickly. They contact you within days, sometimes hours, looking for recorded statements and pushing early settlement offers. These offers rarely reflect the true cost of your injuries.
A Bossier City car accident lawyer steps in early to protect your claim. We deal with the insurance companies, investigate the accident, and build a case that reflects what you’ve actually been through.
Every accident is different, and every case requires a tailored approach.
Our firm handles a wide range of car accident claims across Bossier City and the surrounding area, including:
No matter how the accident happened, if someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you have the right to pursue compensation.
Even what appears to be a minor collision can cause injuries that take weeks or months to fully develop.
Our clients come to us dealing with:
If you were in an accident and symptoms appeared days or weeks later, you still have a valid claim. Delayed symptoms are common after car accidents, and Louisiana law recognizes this.
Louisiana law allows car accident victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages.
Under Louisiana Civil Code Article 2315, the at-fault driver is responsible for compensating you for all damages caused by their negligence.
You may be entitled to recover:
In fatal car accidents, surviving family members may also pursue a wrongful death claim for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.
Louisiana follows a comparative fault system under Civil Code Article 2323. This means your compensation may be reduced if you were partially at fault for the accident.
For example, if you are found 20% at fault and your total damages are $100,000, your recovery would be reduced to $80,000.
Under Louisiana’s modified comparative fault rule (effective January 1, 2026), if you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover anything.
Insurance companies use comparative fault aggressively. They’ll try to shift as much blame onto you as possible to reduce what they owe. Having a lawyer who understands how to counter these arguments is critical to protecting your full recovery.
Insurance companies are not on your side. They have adjusters and defense teams working to minimize your claim.
Common tactics include: requesting recorded statements, offering quick lowball settlements, disputing the necessity of your treatment, and blaming pre-existing conditions for your symptoms.
You do not have to handle this alone. Ford Injury Firm communicates with insurance companies on your behalf and fights for a settlement that reflects your actual damages.
In Louisiana, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (for accidents occurring on or after July 1, 2024; the previous deadline was one year).
Miss this deadline, and you lose your right to recover compensation entirely.
After an accident, call 911, seek medical attention even if you feel fine, document the scene with photos, and do not give recorded statements to the other driver’s insurance company.
