Where Accidents Happen in DeRidder

DeRidder sits at the crossroads of U.S. Route 171 and U.S. Route 190, both heavily traveled highways. Trucking accidents are common on these highways, while local roads see crashes near schools, shopping centers, and neighborhoods. With Fort Polk just down the road, increased traffic from military families and service members also adds to congestion in the area.

Accidents aren’t limited to the highways. Slips and falls in local businesses, workplace injuries in construction and industry, and recreational accidents around Beauregard Parish all bring residents to us for help.

Medical Care After an Accident

Taking care of your health is the top priority after an accident. In and around DeRidder, you can find care at:

• Beauregard Health System (600 South Pine St, DeRidder, LA 70634)
• Titan Rehabilitation Institute (8088 Hawks Rd, Leesville, LA 71446)
• Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital (1585 3rd St, Bldg 285, Fort Polk, LA 71459)

Seeking care right away is critical. Even injuries that don’t seem serious at first, such as whiplash or back pain, may worsen over time. Medical documentation also strengthens your personal injury claim by clearly connecting your injuries to the accident.

Physical injuries aren’t the only challenges accident victims face. If you need mental health support after an accident, there are local resources that can help.

For counseling and recovery support for individuals and families, reach out to Imperial Calcasieu Human Services Authority. Additionally, the City of DeRidder’s official website contains public service information and safety updates.

When you work with Dudley DeBosier, we can help connect you with these and other resources while we handle the legal process.

Common Cases Our Lawyers Handle

Our DeRidder personal injury lawyers can help with a wide range of cases, including:

• Car and truck accidents on congested highways
• Motorcycle crashes on rural parish roads
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents in town
• Slips and falls at stores, restaurants, and public places
• Workers’ compensation and construction site injuries
• Wrongful death claims for grieving families

Each case is unique, but our mission is always the same: to hold negligent parties accountable and secure the damages our clients need to rebuild their lives.

Insurance Companies Don’t Play Fair

After an accident, insurance companies may contact you quickly with an offer. These early settlements are often far below what your case is worth. Insurers may try to delay your claim, argue that your injuries are minor, or suggest they were caused by something other than the accident. Some even request recorded statements designed to weaken your claim.

Our team of attorneys is familiar with these tactics. We can counter them with solid evidence and expert testimony so that your case stands up to insurance company pressure.
