Dangerous Drivers and Liability for Your Injuries

When a dangerous driver fails to share the road, resulting in serious injuries for you, it is not fair. Holding those liable for your injuries accountable for your expenses and suffering is where our legal team can help.

Drivers must operate their vehicles in a responsible manner. Engaging in dangerous behaviors while behind the wheel places everyone around them at risk for serious harm. According to the Insurance Information Institute, some causes of car accidents include:

  • Aggressive driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Drugged driving
  • Drunk driving
  • Drowsy driving

Any one of these dangerous behaviors can easily become combined with another, compounding your serious injuries. A drowsy driver may use alcohol or drugs in an effort to stay awake. No matter what the behavior or action, no one should experience life-changing injuries due to a negligent driver.

Aggressive Driving

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, aggressive driving is a concern of 68 percent of drivers surveyed for their Annual Traffic Safety Index. The foundation defines aggressive driving as “unsafe driving behavior, performed deliberately and with ill intention or disregard” for the safety of others.

Some examples of aggressive driving they give include:

  • Speeding
  • Tailgating
  • Running red lights

One study by the foundation found that 28% of deaths at a signalized intersection are due to red light running. Nearly half of those killed in the crash were drivers or passengers of other vehicles, with five percent representing pedestrians and bicyclists. Approximately 35% of those killed were the drivers who ran the red light.

If you were seriously injured due to another driver’s failure to stop for a red light or some other form of aggressive driving, we can help. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers now at (337) 777-7777 and speak with a Saint Martinville car accident lawyer.

You May Be Able to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

The unexpected loss of a loved one due to a negligent driver is especially upsetting. Knowing that your loved one’s death was preventable had the other driver driven responsibly likely left you feeling frustrated and angry.

While money cannot replace your loved one, compensation may help with expenses such as funeral costs, and your loved one’s medical expenses. Depending upon the circumstances of your close loved one’s death, you may be entitled to a wrongful death lawsuit.

You may choose to leave navigating wrongful death law to a professional legal team. If you lost a close loved one due to a negligent driver, learn more about your options for civil action by contacting Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today.

Let Us Negotiate on Your Behalf With Insurance Companies

Whether you are seriously injured or grieving the loss of a loved one, the time immediately following a car accident is difficult. It is no time to deal with aggressive insurance companies.

No matter how nice they may seem, their primary interest is in protecting their interests and not yours. The temptation to accept an initial settlement may be too strong. Should you accept their offer, you lose your chance of pursuing civil action later if your medical condition worsens.

Like your injuries, there is no quick fix to your financial situation. Accepting an initial settlement offer may seem like a solution to your financial worries, when in fact, it can prevent you from any future compensation.

Trying to negotiate with an insurance company on your own is not a good idea. You should secure legal representation before beginning the negotiation process.

CTA CTA

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

Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Today

When you experience serious injuries due to a car accident, your thoughts may scatter among your many concerns. Anxiety about your injuries, your mounting bills, and your missed time from work can prevent you from the rest your body needs.

Filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim takes time—something not on your side. The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit is two years under LA Art. 3492. Twelve months is not a long time when you are dealing with so much in your life.

Our legal team is well aware of how insurance companies operate when it comes to civil claims. We aggressively negotiate for a fair settlement on your behalf. If necessary, we are ready to go to trial.

Compassionate Care You Can Depend On

Do not miss your opportunity to pursue justice for your injuries. You do not have to go through this alone. A car accident lawyer serving the Saint Martinville area can strongly fight for your rights as the injured party while, at the same time, treating you with compassion and respect.

Knowing you have legal representation can afford you the peace of mind you need during this difficult time. We believe in keeping our clients informed throughout the process—striking a fine balance between keeping you up to date and letting you rest.

If you were seriously injured in a Louisiana car accident or you lost a close loved one, let us help you. Call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today: (337) 777-7777.
