I live in Shreveport, LA, and I was recently involved in a motorcycle crash. I was the passenger on the back of the motorcycle. My boyfriend was driving the motorcycle when a car made an illegal turn from the wrong lane in front of us. My boyfriend and I were both injured as a result of the accident. Do I have the right to file a lawsuit? How can personal injury lawyers help me?

You do have the right to file a lawsuit, but that may not be necessary. Instead, you can file a claim. What’s the difference?
