Many Louisiana residents enjoy the financial, environmental, and health benefits of walking rather than driving. State law offers these pedestrians many rights and protections.
Despite these regulations, drivers continue to strike people traveling on foot at an alarming rate. From 2008 to 2017, more than 13 pedestrians per day were killed in fatal traffic accidents in the U.S. Based on yearly average traffic fatality rates, Louisiana is the fourth-most dangerous state in America for pedestrians.
The seasoned legal team at Veron Bice, LLC has represented injury victims throughout Louisiana, including pedestrian accident victims whose claims were resolved with seven-figure settlements.

How much time do I have to file a pedestrian accident injury lawsuit?
If you were injured in a pedestrian accident in Louisiana, state law requires that you file any resulting personal injury lawsuits within one year. This year-long time limit begins on the date of your accident, which means your deadline can come very quickly.
How much compensation am I eligible to receive?
Pedestrian accidents involving motor vehicles can be particularly damaging, often resulting in costly medical and rehabilitation expenses. The resulting claim for a pedestrian accident can subsequently be very large, sometimes reaching six or seven figures. While it’s impossible to say exactly how much your claim is worth without a thorough review of your accident and injuries, there are two common types of damages that victims pursue in accident claims.
The first is economic damages, or costs to a victim that can be calculated in real dollar amounts. Examples of economic damages include medical bills, related treatment expenses, property damage, and lost income due to missed time at work. The second type is non-economic damages, which are intangible personal costs suffered by victims as a result of their injuries. Examples of non-economic damages include things like pain and suffering or reductions in quality of life.
