Rear-End Crashes Cause Injuries, Fatalities, and Losses Throughout Louisiana

Many rear-end collisions involve people who were driving while distracted, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. All these factors can influence a motorist’s judgment, allowing them to make errors that injure others on the road. Passengers can suffer whiplash, a traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord damage, and other injuries, depending on how severe the rear-end collision is.

In Louisiana, nearly 12,471 rear-end collisions caused injuries in 2020, according to the Louisiana Traffic Records Data Report 2020. Nearly 90 people suffered fatal injuries in this kind of accident. These numbers are a sobering reminder that any kind of road accident has consequences. If you or a loved one suffered injuries and losses after someone rear-ended your vehicle on New Iberia’s roads, we can protect your rights and guide you in recovering financial awards.
