Jefferson Parish Aggressive Driving Accident Lawyer

Safe driving requires all motorists to take appropriate actions while behind the wheel. Unfortunately, not every driver takes this obligation seriously. Any failure to follow the rules of the road or departure from driving etiquette can have disastrous consequences.

One common yet dangerous driving behavior is aggressive driving. This kind of driving can describe any action that a person takes to intimidate, bully, or otherwise endanger the wellbeing of other travelers. Aggressive driving can affect other drivers, passengers, bike riders, and even pedestrians. If a person participates in aggressive driving and causes an injury, that person is liable to provide compensation for all a person’s losses.

A Jefferson Parish aggressive driving accident lawyer may be able to help you to collect these payments. The legal team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can work to collect evidence concerning the collision, use that evidence to build powerful legal claims, and work to demand the compensation that you need to set things right. Call us today at (504) 777-7777 to learn more.

Aggressive Driving Is Against the Law and Places Everyone at a Risk of Harm

All drivers in Jefferson Parish have an obligation under the law to follow the rules of the road. Not only is this a requirement under state law, but it also serves to decrease the frequency of traffic accidents.

Aggressive driving may take on the form of many traffic violations. A driver who does not properly signal a turn, who speeds, or who tailgates another motorist certainly violates local traffic laws. However, aggressive actions that do not specifically violate a traffic law may still be illegal if they are reckless or negligent.

According to Louisiana Revised Statutes (RS) §14:99, it is illegal to operate a vehicle in any matter that displays criminal negligence or recklessness. In addition, it is illegal to drive in a way that unnecessarily endangers the well-being of others. If another driver receives a ticket at the scene of the accident for reckless operation or a police officer makes an arrest, this is a solid sign that the driver is at fault for the crash.

A Jefferson Parish aggressive driving accident lawyer can provide more information about the legal basis for instances involving aggressive operation. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (504) 777-7777 today.

Proving Fault After an Accident

As an injured person, it is always your responsibility to prove that another person’s actions were the cause of your injuries. It does not matter how severe your injuries are or even if they are permanent. Proving fault is always your burden.

A lawyer’s main goal is to prove that another driver was to blame. However, this is not always as simple as we would like. Sometimes, the other driver does not receive a ticket. Unfortunately, many cases involving aggressive driving require people to produce their own evidence that points to another driver being at fault.

A lawyer can help you gather essential evidence to support your claim. This evidence can include a police report, traffic camera footage, and third-party witness statements. We can even hire an accident reconstruction specialist if that is what is necessary to pursue your case.

It may also be necessary to defend your own driving leading up to the collision. Louisiana uses the concept called pure comparative negligence when assigning fault for accidents. As a result, other drivers may attempt to shift blame onto you for a collision. According to Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §2323, if a court assigns a percentage of blame to you after a crash, the court must reduce your award by that percentage. Hiring an attorney can help to prevent this unfortunate outcome.

You Deserve Appropriate Compensation After an Aggressive Driving Accident

Proving that another driver was responsible for the accident that resulted in your injuries is only part of a successful case. It is also necessary for you to demonstrate how that incident has affected your life. Only by giving a full account of your losses will you be able to collect the payments necessary to make yourself whole again.

All aggressive driving claims must show that the incident resulted in a physical injury. These can range in severity from minor cuts and scrapes to spinal cord damage. No matter how severe a physical injury, the at-fault driver must provide compensation for all necessary medical care.

A comprehensive claim will also demand compensation for other losses. Among these awards are payments to cover your lost income. If an accident has left you unable to work because you need to attend doctor appointments, the at-fault driver must reimburse you for this lost money.

Another potential form of income is payments for emotional trauma. Car accidents are serious incidents that can have a major impact on your mental health. If you have suffered pain, flashbacks, a fear of driving in a car, or other forms of post-traumatic stress, you can demand compensation to make up for this lost quality of life.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
