Lake Charles Speeding Accident Lawyer

 

Speeding is one of the greatest risk factors on the road and is considered a negligent driving behavior. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2018, more than 9,000 people died in car accidents involving speeding.

Injuries caused by speeding drivers can range from minor to severe. Car accident injuries may result in costly medical bills, extensive recovery times, and other impacts on your life.

Fortunately, you may have options to recover compensation for these types of damages after a speeding accident in Lake Charles. If another driver’s negligence caused your accident, they might owe you compensation in a personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit.

A Lake Charles car accident lawyer from our firm may be able to help you with this process. To learn more in a free consultation with a member of our team, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today.

Speeding Accident Liability

There are many potential consequences of speeding. Speeding can increase the distance a driver needs to stop, which could lead to a rear-end accident. Speeding drivers may lose control of their vehicles. Because speeding can also increase the force of impact in a collision, speeding accidents can be especially destructive.

It is important to note that you may be able to pursue compensation from the responsible driver in your accident even if they do not receive a speeding ticket. If you can establish that their negligence caused your accident, they may be responsible for your damages. Our personal injury lawyers in Lake Charles will build a strong case against the reckless driver.

Nearly any type of traffic law violation may establish driver negligence in a car accident case. In addition to speeding, these violations may include:

  • Illegal turn or lane change
  • Failure to yield
  • Tailgating
  • Running a red light or stop sign

Our Lake Charles rear-end accident lawyers can investigate your accident and collect evidence of the responsible party’s liability when we represent you.

The Statute of Limitations in Louisiana

In order to pursue compensation from the at-fault driver, you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit. All personal injury lawsuits in the state of Louisiana carry a general two-year statute of limitations, according to the CC 3493.1. However, some exceptions may apply.

After the deadline to sue in your case passes, you may be unable to recover compensation for your damages.

This may entail pulling the police report, witness statements, and medical records, as well as calling in accident reconstruction experts to testify in your defense.

Filing Your Claim
