Obtaining your driver’s license is an important milestone in life. For many teens, it is a ticket to freedom and a way to impress friends. Driver inexperience, along with foolish behaviors and actions, can result in serious harm for other drivers.

A Ville teen driving accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can represent you and protect your best interests in a civil lawsuit. From negotiations with insurance companies to a possible trial, a member of our team can manage the details of your case. Get started on the path to possible compensation by calling us now for a free case evaluation at (337) 777-7777.

Teen Drivers and Liability for Your Accident Injuries

Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show just how dangerous teen driving can be on our nation’s roadways. According to the most recent data, more than 2,300 teens were killed and over 300,000 injured in car accidents involving a teen driver in 2017.

The CDC lists the following 8 danger zones when it comes to teen drivers:

  • Driver inexperience
  • Driving with teen passengers
  • Nighttime driving
  • No seatbelt use
  • Distracted driving
  • Drowsy driving
  • Reckless driving
  • Impaired driving

Teens and Alcohol

When it comes to teens and impaired driving, there is both good and bad news. The good news is in regards to behavior, according to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute.

The institute discovered that teens are less likely to drink and drive than adults however, the crash risk is higher when they do—even with a low blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level.

Teens are often an overlooked danger when it comes to drinking and driving due to the fact, they are underaged for purchasing alcohol. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), 72 percent of teens acquire alcohol without having to pay for it. Most forms of access include:

  • Taking it without permission.
  • Receiving it from friends.
  • Receiving it from family—including parents or older siblings.

Despite strict penalties, if convicted, teen peer pressure is often too great and too influential. If a teen driver chose to drive drunk and caused you serious injuries, take action, and pursue compensation for your damages.

How to Help Your Case

Teens are often the first to share news about friends on social media. While the accident scene may appear on the teen’s personal Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter account, it is essential you do not engage with them.

Replying, commenting, or sharing information about the accident can potentially harm your case. Refrain from using social media in any form regarding your accident.

Additionally, not sharing details of your experience with friends and certain family members is important. Well-meaning friends or a relative may accidentally share information that is misinterpreted and used against you by the responsible party.

Keeping information about the details of your accident between you and your personal injury lawyer is best. Gather any and all pertinent evidence for your case, including:

  • Police reports
  • Accident scene photos
  • Contact information for witnesses
  • Your medical reports and expenses

A Ville teen driving accident lawyer can prepare your case for the best possible outcome. In order to do so, you must contact us without delay. State laws limited the time allowed for pursuing civil litigation. The sooner we review your case, the sooner we can identify key elements that prove negligence by the teen.

If you suffered serious harm—or tragically lost a close loved one—due to an inexperienced or impaired teen driver, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today. A free case evaluation is the first step toward possible justice; call for yours today at (337) 777-7777.

Insurance Company Pressure

It is likely that an insurance company may offer you a settlement. Many companies take this action soon after the accident in an effort to settle your claim quickly.

It is also likely that they may try to pressure you to feel sorry for the teen driver and to accept the offer. These are just a few of the tactics an insurance company may use to confuse you when you are already feeling overwhelmed.

Your current state of serious injuries or your time of grief leaves you in no position to make such an important decision. It may be best not to accept their offer and seek legal representation instead.

Protecting your best interests is crucial to providing for your future medical care and needs. Rising medical costs and your need for accountability are why you deserve a fair settlement.
