Causes of Car Accidents in Louisiana

The cause of your car accident is an important cornerstone of your claim. We need to understand its cause, which will point to the liable party, i.e., the party that owes you financial compensation for your damages. Thanks to our decades of collective legal experience, we know how to investigate a case carefully to find negligence and liability, sometimes with the assistance of third-party experts from other fields.

We can investigate your crash to see if any of these types of negligence caused your crash:

Speeding
Breaking the speed limit is always dangerous because speed limits are set based on the expected traffic conditions, weather in the area, and the shape and size of the road. If you were hit by a speeding driver, then we can look for evidence of this negligence, like tire marks and the severity of the vehicular damage.
Intoxication
After even one drink, the average driver becomes extremely dangerous on the road. Reaction times slow down, maneuverability worsens, and judging speed and distance becomes almost impossible. If the other driver said they had “just one drink,” then let or attorneys know right away.
Texting-and-driving
Most drivers own a smartphone, so most drivers have a terrible way of distracting themselves just by reaching into their pockets. Texting-and-driving is highly dangerous because it distracts a driver’s eyes, hands, and mind in a single activity.
Auto part failure
Some car accidents are not caused by a driver’s negligence but by a third-party company’s negligence instead. For example, if your crash happened because your vehicle’s brakes stopped working without warning, then the automaker could be liable for including the defective part in the vehicle.

Will Your Car Accident Claim Settle?

Can you expect your car accident case to settle with a fair amount? Maybe. Most legitimate injury claims do reach a settlement to conclude, rather than go to court for litigation.

Insurance companies and plaintiffs alike prefer settlements over trials because:

  • Settlements can be reached much more quickly, which saves everyone time, resources, and energy.
  • Settlements remain confidential and do not get filed in public records, which can be important for a defendant that does not want details of the case to be widely known.
  • Settlements leave the decision of how much to pay the injured party up for negotiation, rather than relying on a judge’s or jury’s discretion.
Of course, settlements being more common does not mean that settlements are guaranteed. Some cases do still go to court because the liable party and their insurer do not want to accept any responsibility for the car accident. If this happens, you do not need to worry. We have trial attorneys on staff who can take your case to litigation.

Thoroughly Investigating & Proving Your Case

When we take you on as a client, we will work closely with you to meet your expectations as a car accident survivor. We start by doing a thorough review of the details of your case so that we can help you determine what caused your accident.
