Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Bossier City

Our Bossier City attorneys handle a wide range of personal injury claims.

Auto Accidents

Car crashes and collisions on high-traffic roads in Bossier City happen daily. We represent drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists injured by negligent motorists.

Truck Accidents

I-20 is a major freight route through Northwest Louisiana and often the site of crashes involving large commercial trucks. These cases require careful investigation of driver logs, maintenance records, and carrier liability.

Premises Liability

Property owners in Louisiana have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. We handle slip-and-fall accidents, inadequate security claims, and other premises liability cases at commercial properties, hotels, casinos, and private residences.

Construction Accidents

With major ongoing construction projects around I-20 and throughout Bossier City, construction zone accidents can injure workers, bystanders, and motorists. We represent injured workers and can pursue third-party claims in addition to workers’ compensation.

Wrongful Death

If a loved one was killed in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence in Bossier City, surviving family members may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim for lost financial support, funeral expenses, and loss of companionship.

Drunk Driving Accidents

Bossier City’s casino district sees a significant amount of late-night traffic, and impaired driving is a serious concern. Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to pursue both compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users and often sustain serious injuries when struck by inattentive drivers. We understand the bias that riders sometimes face and know how to build a strong case on their behalf.

Dangerous Roads and Locations in Bossier City

Several roads and areas in Bossier City are known for elevated accident risk, such as:

• I-20: The main east-west corridor through Bossier City carries heavy traffic. Ongoing construction has created lane shifts, reduced shoulders, and complicated merges that can all contribute to crashes.
• Airline Drive: Airline Drive’s mix of passenger cars, large vehicles, and multiple driveways can create significant hazards.
• Bossier City Riverfront: Round-the-clock operations can contribute to drunk driving accidents in and around the riverfront casino district.
• Louisiana Boardwalk: This popular destination along the Red River sees heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic, with parking lots that can be challenging to navigate safely.
• Barksdale Air Force Base: The roads to and from the base carry traffic from thousands of personnel and families, increasing the risk of accidents for both civilian and military commuters.
• Red River crossings: The bridges connecting Bossier City to Shreveport funnel traffic through narrow corridors and are common sites for rear-end collisions.

When you’re injured in an accident in Bossier City, having a legal team familiar with these locations and how local conditions contribute to crashes can make a real difference in your case. Dudley DeBosier has proudly served the Bossier City community for decades. We know what it takes to win justice.

Premises Liability in Bossier City’s Casino District

Like any commercial property owner, casinos have a legal obligation to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for injuries that result.

Common accidents at Bossier City casino properties include:

• Slip-and-fall accidents on wet floors near bars, pools, or spilled drinks on the casino floor
• Trips on uneven surfaces, loose carpet, or poor lighting in parking garages
• Inadequate security leading to assaults or robberies
• Elevator and escalator malfunctions in multi-story resort towers
• Accidents in valet drop-off and pick-up areas
• Swimming pool-related accidents

Premises liability claims against large casino resorts can be complex. These conglomerates have dedicated legal teams and deep pockets. An experienced attorney on your side can help level the playing field.

Compensation You May Be Entitled to Pursue

Because the financial and personal toll of a serious accident can last a lifetime, the amount of compensation should account for all future needs. Depending on the nature and severity of your injuries, you may be entitled to pursue compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of consortium
• Wrongful death

Louisiana has a pure comparative fault law, meaning that even if you share some responsibility for the accident, you may still recover compensation proportional to the other party’s share of fault.

The team at Dudley DeBosier has a deep understanding of Louisiana state law. We can listen to the details of your accident and determine how pure comparative fault may apply to your case. Our goal is to secure the maximum amount you are entitled to.

Bossier City Medical Care and Support

Prompt medical attention after an accident is important for both your health and your legal claim. Medical facilities in Bossier City include:

• Willis-Knighton Bossier
• CHRISTUS Bossier Emergency Hospital
• Cornerstone Post Acute Care of Bossier

Following medical treatment plans and keeping records of all evaluations, treatments, and aftercare is essential for documenting the impact of your injuries in a personal injury claim.

The Deadline to File a Personal Injury Claim in Louisiana

In Louisiana, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the accident. This two-year period applies prospectively, meaning it covers incidents that occurred on or after July 1, 2024. Claims for accidents that occurred before that date must be filed within one year.

Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to file a claim entirely, regardless of how strong your case is. If you were injured in a Bossier City accident, reaching out to an attorney as soon as possible can help preserve evidence and protect your ability to seek compensation.
