Kenner Head-On Collision Lawyer

If you or a loved one was injured in a head-on collision, you are not alone, and help is available. Many of these crashes lead to serious injuries or fatalities, with a deep impact on accident victims and their families. When another driver was at fault, victims or surviving family members can often file lawsuits to help offset the cost of medical expenses and other damages incurred from the accident.

A Kenner car accident lawyer can help you understand your legal rights and the damages you may be eligible to recover. Learn more now by contacting Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (504) 777-7777.

Factors in Head-On Collision Injury Cases

When another driver crashes into your vehicle head-on, there may be multiple factors involved in the process of determining fault. Some of these factors include the elements of negligence, the types of damages you suffered, and personal injury laws in your state. A Kenner personal injury lawyer can determine whether you can bring a lawsuit against that person or entity.

Consideration of Negligence in a Collision

Negligence is a legal concept that considers one person’s duty to exercise reasonable care in a given situation toward others. For example, the expectation for drivers on the roadway is that they must pay due care to their fellow drivers. This means following all traffic laws, such as:

  • Driving the speed limit
  • Staying in the correct lane and using turn signals as necessary
  • Not driving in an aggressive manner
  • Avoiding cellphone use behind the wheel

If a driver is disobeying traffic laws and this leads to a collision, this could be considered negligence.

Determining Liability in a Car Accident Case

An at-fault driver could be held liable in a personal injury case if:

  • They were found to have been negligent at the time of the collision.
  • Their negligence resulted in the car crash.
  • The head-on collision directly led to your injuries and damages.

Liability means that the driver would be responsible for paying compensation to you for any damages you incurred from the accident.

Reasons to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Filing a personal injury lawsuit against the other driver in the collision can allow you to recover damages beyond what is covered through insurance. A Kenner head-on collision lawyer can help you figure out which damages you may be able to seek for your claim. Speak with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers now at (504) 777-7777 to learn more.

The following are some reasons you may want to consider filing an injury lawsuit.

Paying for Medical Expenses and Missed Work

Head-on collisions often lead to severe or permanent injuries, including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more. With time, this can mean mounting medical costs and possibly ongoing, long-term medical care. Further, you may miss a lot of time from work while in recovery and experience financial hardship due to loss of wages.

While an insurance claim can help you recover compensation for medical expenses as well, the amount you can receive will be subject to the driver’s policy limits.

Compensation for Pain and Suffering

After a head-on collision, you could be left with injuries so great that you experience disabilities or cannot enjoy life the way you used to. These intangible losses are considered life-changing. Compensation from a lawsuit may address your emotional distress, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and other non-economic damages. These are not available in an insurance claim.

Recourse After a Wrongful Death

A wrongful death may also result from a head-on collision. The Center for Analytics & Transportation Safety (CARTS) reports that there were 1,067 head-on crashes in the state in 2020, with 87 fatalities. When this happens, surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the liable parties for compensation.

While there is no way to bring back your loved one, a wrongful death lawsuit can help you recover the funds you need to avoid financial hardships you face because of the loss. You do not have to take on this legal burden alone—our team is ready to help.

Advantages of Working with a Head-On Collision Lawyer

When we investigate the collision, we will do what it takes to collect strong evidence to support your financial recovery. This may involve calling in expert witnesses, pouring over police reports and eyewitness accounts, and more.
