Four Decades of Standing Up for Alexandria Residents
Since Carl Rice established our practice in the 1970s, Rice & Kendig has become one of Louisiana's most respected injury law firms. Our attorneys have earned Super Lawyers recognition, AV Preeminent ratings from Martindale-Hubbell, and membership in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum — honors reserved for less than 1% of attorneys nationwide.
This combination of statewide reputation and local knowledge gives our Alexandria clients a powerful advantage. Our personal injury lawyers in Alexandria have tried hundreds of cases in Rapides Parish courts, know exactly how local insurance adjusters operate, and understand what it takes to win here. When insurance companies see Rice & Kendig on a case, they know we're prepared for trial — and that often leads to better settlement offers without lengthy litigation.
Common Cases We Handle in Alexandria, LA
No two accidents are identical, but every victim deserves fierce legal advocacy. Our personal injury attorneys in Alexandria handle the full spectrum of injury cases with equal dedication and skill.
Car Accidents
Auto Accidents Legal HelpAlexandria's convergence of highways creates unique hazards — from the MacArthur Drive corridor to the Bolton Avenue stretch. Add in heavy rainfall, construction zones, and tourist traffic heading to Kisatchie National Forest, and danger lurks at every turn. Our car accident lawyers investigate beyond the police report, reconstructing crashes to prove liability and document every dollar of your damages.
Truck Accidents
Truck Accidents Legal HelpI-49's expansion brought more commerce through Alexandria, but also more 18-wheeler dangers. These aren't simple rear-end collisions — they're complex battles against corporate legal teams and their insurance giants. Our truck accident attorneys move quickly to preserve black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records before they are conveniently destroyed.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle Accidents Legal HelpLouisiana's year-round riding weather means more exposure to careless drivers who "didn't see" you. We counter the anti-motorcycle bias that infects many injury claims, using accident reconstruction and medical evidence to prove the truth: most motorcycle crashes result from car driver negligence, not rider error.
Wrongful Death
Losing someone to another's negligence leaves a void no settlement can fill. While nothing brings back your loved one, holding the responsible parties accountable provides some measure of justice. Our compassionate wrongful death attorneys handle these cases with the sensitivity and strength your family needs during this devastating time.

FAQs About Personal Injury Claims in Alexandria
Every case is unique, but compensation typically includes medical expenses (current and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Severe injuries may warrant additional damages. We'll evaluate your specific losses during your free consultation and fight for every dollar you deserve.
The filing deadline in Louisiana depends on the date you were injured due to a recent change in the law.
- For injuries that happened before August 1, 2025, you have only one year to file a lawsuit.
- For injuries that happen on or after August 1, 2025, the deadline is extended to two years.
This is one of the most important rules in personal injury law. If you miss the deadline, your claim is barred forever.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes from your settlement or verdict, not your pocket. We even advance all case expenses, so you face zero financial risk.
Louisiana's law on shared fault is changing. The rule that applies to your case depends on the date of the accident:
- For accidents before January 1, 2026: You can recover compensation even if you are mostly at fault. Your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
- For accidents on or after January 1, 2026: A new 51% bar rule applies. Under this law, you cannot recover any damages if you are 51% or more at fault.
Our job is to minimize any fault assigned to you while maximizing the other party's liability.
Simple cases with clear liability might settle within 6 to 8 months. Complex cases involving severe injuries or disputed fault often require 12 to 18 months. We push for swift resolution but never sacrifice fair compensation for speed.
Bring any documentation you have: police reports, medical records, insurance correspondence, photos, and witness information. If you don't have everything, don't worry — we can help gather what's needed. The important thing is to meet with us as soon as possible.
