Being involved in a traffic accident can be a life changing event.

With more than 40 years of legal experience, E. Ray Kethley provides personalized representation to individuals involved in traffic and motor vehicle accidents throughout Shreveport, Bossier City, and North Louisiana.
Types of Traffic Accident Cases
Traffic accidents can occur in many different ways, and each case requires careful evaluation. Mr. Kethley represents clients in a wide range of accident-related cases, including:
-
Rear-end collisions
-
Head-on crashes
-
Intersection and side-impact accidents
-
Multi-vehicle collisions
-
Accidents involving distracted or impaired drivers
-
Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
Every case is unique, and understanding the specific circumstances of your accident is critical to building a strong claim.
Understanding Liability in Louisiana
To recover compensation after a traffic accident, it must be shown that another party acted negligently and caused your injuries. This may involve proving that a driver was careless, distracted, speeding, or otherwise failed to operate their vehicle safely.
In some cases, more than one party may be responsible, including other drivers, commercial vehicle operators, or even third parties.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If you have been injured in a traffic accident, you may be able to recover damages for:
-
Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
-
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
-
Pain and suffering
-
Property damage
-
Long-term or permanent injury
Financial compensation can help ease the burden of recovery and provide support as you move forward after an accident.
Dealing with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. Handling these negotiations on your own can be difficult and overwhelming. An experienced attorney can help protect your rights, communicate with insurers, and pursue a fair settlement on your behalf.
What to Do After a Traffic Accident
Taking the right steps after an accident can protect both your health and your legal rights:
-
Seek medical attention immediately
-
Report the accident and obtain a police report
-
Gather evidence, including photos and witness information
-
Avoid discussing fault with insurance companies before speaking with an attorney
Acting quickly is important, as evidence can be lost and legal deadlines may apply.
