Common Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Lincoln Parish
Lincoln Parish presents distinct challenges, from Louisiana Tech's campus traffic to industrial corridors and rural highways. Our personal injury attorneys have successfully litigated cases involving every type of accident scenario this parish can present.
Car Accidents
The mix of student drivers, commercial traffic on I-20, and parish roads creates dangerous conditions year-round. We investigate beyond surface details, examining road maintenance records, traffic pattern data, and vehicle black box information to establish liability and document your losses comprehensively.
Truck Accidents
Interstate 20's corridor through Lincoln Parish sees constant commercial truck traffic, while local deliveries navigate narrower parish roads. Our truck accident attorneys dissect federal compliance records, driver qualification files, and maintenance logs to expose the negligence behind devastating crashes.
Motorcycle Accidents
Louisiana's scenic routes attract riders, but our roads can turn deadly when drivers fail to share them safely. We counter insurance company bias against motorcyclists by methodically proving the other party's negligence and fully documenting both visible injuries and hidden trauma.
Wrongful Death Cases
Losing someone you love in an accident is devastating. While no amount of money can bring them back, Louisiana law allows families to seek compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and the pain of losing a loved one. We handle these cases with the respect and care your family deserves during this difficult time.
Catastrophic Injuries
Severe injuries demand sophisticated legal strategies. We collaborate with vocational professionals, life care planners, and economic analysts to project decades of future needs, ensuring settlements address not just immediate medical bills but lifetime care requirements and lost opportunities.
Other Cases We Handle
Our Lincoln Parish personal injury team handles the complete spectrum of injury claims:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Burn injuries

Contact Rice & Kendig Before Time Runs Out
Due to a recent change in Louisiana law, the window to file a lawsuit is now either one or two years, depending on your accident date. An old injury may have only one year. Miss it by a day, and you're out of luck, as no judge will hear your case, no matter how badly you were hurt or how clear the other driver's fault was.
Let Rice & Kendig protect your claim before it's too late. We'll gather evidence, deal with the insurance companies, and make sure your case stays on track. Call us or fill out our online form today.
FAQs About Lincoln Parish Injury Claims
Get medical help first, even if you feel okay at the time. Adrenaline can mask injuries. Take photos of everything: vehicles, injuries, the scene. Get contact info from witnesses. Call the police and get a report number. Don't give recorded statements to insurance companies. Save everything related to your accident. Then call us at (318)222-2772 so we can protect your rights from day one.
The filing deadline depends on when your injury occurred. The key date is August 1, 2025.
- Injuries BEFORE that date: You have a one-year deadline.
- Injuries ON or AFTER that date: You have a two-year deadline.
No. First offers are almost always lowball attempts to close your case cheaply. They're betting you need money now and don't know what your case is really worth. Once you sign, you can't come back for more, even if you need surgery later or can't return to work. Let Rice & Kendig review any offer before you sign anything. It costs nothing to have us check if they're playing fair.
The rule is changing in 2026. Currently, you can recover damages even if mostly at fault. For accidents starting January 1, 2026, you will be barred from recovering any damages if you are found 51% or more responsible for the incident.
Nothing upfront. Zero. We work on contingency — we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes from your settlement or verdict. We also advance all costs: filing fees, expert witnesses, depositions, and medical records. If we don't win, you don't owe us anything.
