The Dangers of Moving Van Accidents

Below are some of the main reasons that you could find yourself hurt due to a moving van accident:

  • Distracted driving: although Louisiana has enacted laws to try and cut down texting while driving, like Louisiana Revised Statutes (RS) §32:300.5, many drivers still use their cell phones behind the wheel. This behavior may be even more common in a moving van situation because the driver may not be familiar with the location or route they are traveling, so they need their GPS. Other types of distracted driving include eating behind the wheel and talking to passengers.
  • Overloaded vans or unsecured loads: if you have ever moved, then you know how tempting it is to cram as much cargo as possible into each load to cut down on the number of trips you have to make. Doing so can make the moving van unsafe to operate. If the cargo shifts while the van is in motion, it can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
  • Lack of driver experience: a moving van can be a serious upgrade for some drivers who may be more accustomed to smaller passenger vehicles. This change can create an even greater risk of a collision, especially if the driver does not acknowledge that they need to exercise a different level of caution when driving a larger moving van.
  • Lack of vehicle maintenance: moving vans can undergo serious wear and tear and can be treated poorly by renters. If the moving van company does not perform regular maintenance and inspections to ensure that the vehicle is safe, the outcome can be devastating. Poor vehicle maintenance might include faulty brakes, lack of proper signals and lights, or severe engine failures.
  • Disobeying traffic laws: basic traffic laws are designed to keep everyone safe. Just because someone is in the process of moving and potentially in a hurry to get the job done does not mean they are absolved from following these laws. Speeding, tailgating, running red lights, and unsafe lane changes are examples of how someone driving a moving van may have caused your accident.

The above reasons are not an exhaustive list. If you think there is some other cause to blame for your injuries, then consider speaking with a Metairie moving van accident lawyer to learn more. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers now for a free and confidential consultation at (337) 777-7777.

Hold the Right Parties Liable for Your Damages

A moving van accident is a type of personal injury accident, which typically requires you to show that the other party was negligent and caused your injuries. In general, negligence happens when someone fails to drive with the same ordinary care and skill that a careful driver would use. This duty of care includes obeying traffic laws, not getting distracted while driving, and using common sense.

You may have a claim against the person who was driving the moving van as well as the company that rented and maintained the moving van. If the company failed to maintain the vehicle in good condition, then it may not be the driver’s fault that the accident happened. You can bring a personal injury claim against the company for its carelessness in maintaining the vehicle.

The company may have also been negligent in deciding to rent the moving van to the driver who caused your accident. If the company did not follow any procedures to see whether the renter had a valid license and sufficient experience to drive the van, they may be liable for your injuries.

The company could also be liable for failing to update its vehicles with the latest safety features and other important technology designed to reduce accidents.

There could be other ways that someone is liable for your injuries. One of the most important parts of your claim for damages is ensuring that you hold every possible party responsible.
