SHOWCASING LOUISIANA: Morganza to mark 50th anniversary of filming of ‘Easy Rider’. MORGANZA, LA (WAFB) - A movie that is now in the Library of Congress National Film Registry was shot, in part, in Louisiana, but for one small community, that wasn’t always a good thing.
The film was 1969′s “Easy Rider” starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper , and a very young Jack Nicholson. Mary K. Bergeron was one of the local stars in the café scene at the old Melancon’s Café on Highway 1.
A huge festival to officially commemorate the 50th anniversary of “Easy Rider” will be held in Morganza Sept. 28. Copyright 2019 WAFB.
The dynamics of a bike wreck are very different than a crash between two cars. There are more things to consider, and with the increase in injury likelihood for bikers, the monetary compensation you’re seeking could be higher. That usually makes a fight with the at-fault driver’s insurance company more likely as well.
No uniform statistics are kept regarding the nature of motorcycle accidents involving other cars. We know they happen often, but not necessarily the details of each one sufficient to know for sure how often certain types of crashes happen.
Another way an experienced motorcycle accident attorney can make a difference is in knowing what evidence to gather, who to speak to (and what NOT to say), and how to prevent things from slipping through the cracks.
We work on what is known as a contingency fee basis. 2 There are no hourly fees. In fact, we do not charge an attorney’s fee unless we’re able to collect on your behalf. This means that there is no financial barrier to hiring a motorcycle accident attorney to represent you – you’ve got enough to deal with.
We have a long history of helping injured riders. They’re included in the more than 50,000 people we’ve helped to recover a total of more than $1.2 billion in compensation in our history. 1 When you put us on the case, we take the fight to the insurance company so you can focus on recovery.
