When you are involved in a car accident, the physical injuries you sustain can make the days and weeks after the accident difficult and painful. The medical bills and other expenses created by the accident can only add to the anxiety and frustration of your physical injuries and property damage.
Because the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge is used by a huge assortment of vehicles on a daily basis, many Louisianians are at risk of collisions. Drivers and passengers on these twin bridges share the roads with passenger cars, SUVs, semi-trailers, 18-wheelers, and buses. The large size and variety of vehicles on the road can make travel hazardous, particularly for smaller vehicles.
Louisiana State University (LSU) reported 87 fatal accidents that resulted in 96 fatalities for vehicle passengers and drivers in 2019. While these numbers represent a slight decline in reported fatal collisions from 2018, it still represents too many lives lost. The cost of these (and non-fatal) accidents can quickly become overwhelming if you attempt to cover them on your own.
If you or someone you love was injured in a car accident on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge or a loved one was killed, you could have the basis of a personal injury or wrongful death claim that will cover the financial expenses and losses of the accident.
