Equine Accidents
Experienced Covington Equine Accident Attorney – Protecting Your Rights and Recovery
Horseback riding and equine activities offer excitement and connection to nature, but they also carry risks. While experienced riders, trainers, and equine facility owners are familiar with these inherent risks, not all accidents are simply “part of the sport.” At Banck Law, we specialize in equine-related personal injury cases throughout Louisiana, helping victims of equine accidents secure the compensation they deserve.
Equine-Related Negligence and Liability
While equine liability statutes in Louisiana protect facility owners to some extent, they do not provide immunity in cases involving negligence. Our legal team understands the nuances of Louisiana’s equine liability laws, and we are here to support you if you’ve been injured due to:
- Horseback Riding Accidents: Falls or injuries caused by a horse bucking, rearing, or bolting due to improper handling or inadequate safety measures.
- Inadequate Supervision or Training: Injuries resulting from insufficient instruction, particularly for new riders or young participants.
- Faulty Equipment: Saddles, reins, or tack that fail or are improperly maintained, increasing the risk of falls or injuries.
- Kicks or Bites: Injuries caused by horses on improperly managed or inadequately supervised properties.
Whether you’ve been injured due to a horseback riding accident, equipment failure, or lack of proper supervision, our legal team is here to help.
Common Equine-Related Injuries
Equine accidents can result in severe, life-altering injuries, including:
- Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are among the most common in equine accidents, even with helmet use.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Falls or kicks can cause significant fractures requiring long-term care.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Strains, sprains, and lacerations from falls or direct contact with horses.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: High-impact falls or being thrown can lead to serious spinal damage and paralysis.
These injuries often result in costly medical bills, long-term rehabilitation, and a significant impact on one’s quality of life. Our team is committed to helping you pursue fair compensation for these losses.
Types of Compensation You May Be Eligible For
If you’ve suffered an equine-related injury, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Coverage for immediate and ongoing medical treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to time away from work during recovery, as well as any future loss of earning potential.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical pain and emotional trauma resulting from your injuries.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation if your injuries prevent you from engaging in activities you previously enjoyed.
