Meaux Teen Driving Accident Lawyer

Being a teenager and learning to drive is an exciting time for many young people. However, when a teen driver is behind the wheel of a machine that weighs several thousand pounds does not drive safely, other motorists on the roadway may be in danger.

The Meaux teen driving accident lawyers from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers are dedicated to helping accident victims who were injured by negligent drivers of all ages. Our team can discuss your claim with you during an in-depth case review. Contact us at (337) 777-7777 to get started.

We Will Determine the Cause of Your Teen Driving Accident

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States. “In 2017, 2,364 teens ages 16 to 19 were killed in motor vehicle accidents and another 300,000 were treated in emergency room departments after being involved in an accident.”

There are several ways your accident may have occurred, including:

Inexperience

Driving is an activity that requires full attention and the ability to observe a number of factors at one time. Teen drivers do not have years of driving experience to rely on to help them anticipate and avoid dangers.

Distracted Driving

A teen may have a shorter attention span and could get distracted while driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 2,841 people were killed in distracted driving traffic accidents in 2018 alone. While texting while driving is an unfortunately common and dangerous form of distracted driving, teens may have other distractions that can interfere with their concentration, such as:

  • Loud music
  • Talkative passengers in the vehicle
  • Worries on their mind
  • GPS and other devices

Drinking and Driving

According to a crash data report published by Louisiana State University, approximately 24% of fatal traffic accidents for drivers aged 15 to 20 involved alcohol in 2017.

Reckless Driving

Teens’ brains are still growing and forming, and the last areas to finish developing are those areas responsible for reasoning and judgment. This may impact why teens may make dangerous decisions while driving, such as:

  • Street racing
  • Speeding
  • Weaving in and out of lanes
  • Taking drugs or inhalants while driving
  • Tailgating
  • Illegally passing other vehicles

Your lawyer will work to prove how your accident occurred. Call (337) 777-7777 to hear more about what the Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers team can do for you and your family.

Louisiana’s Graduated Licensing Program

Because state lawmakers recognize the dangers that teen drivers present, the Louisiana Department of Public Safety has implemented the Louisiana Graduated Licensing Program. Under this program, there are greater restrictions put on younger drivers, which are slowly eased as they get older and gain more driving experience. If a young driver caused your accident while in violation of this program, they could be penalized.

Why You Should Not Hesitate to Call Us

Because you have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit before your case is time-barred due to the statute of limitations in Louisiana, do not hesitate to speak with a personal injury lawyer for help with your claim. You may not be able to seek compensation at all if this timeline runs out before you file or complete your lawsuit.

You may not even know at this point is you will end up filing a lawsuit. You can work with a lawyer to file an insurance settlement. Your lawyer will negotiate for compensation via this route. If they cannot get the insurance company to pay you a fair amount for your losses, you may have to file a lawsuit.

There is always a chance that the other party settles in pre-trial negotiations. However, if they do not, we are ready to represent you at trial.

The Insurance Company May Not Have Your Best Interests in Mind

Your lawyer can act as a shield between you and any insurance companies who want to disturb your peace after your accident. Many companies are eager to settle for unfairly low amounts shortly after an accident. You may still be recovering when a claims adjuster calls you.

Do not let the insurance company convince you to take their initial offer. Let us explore your losses to determine how much money you may need to support yourself and your family into the future. You may need physical therapy for years. Wait until we know about your recovery expectations.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
