Injured in a Car Accident? We Ensure to Present a Persuasive Case on Your Behalf

Unfortunately, car accidents are highly prevalent and equally deadly. High-speed car collisions are the worst leading to life-threatening injuries and even death. Car collisions occur when a motor vehicle either collides with another vehicle, a stationary object, a pedestrian, or an animal. Though modern cars have been created to protect us from sudden jolts, parts of your body can still get injured when they come in contact with objects such as seat belts, airbags, dashboard, windshield, and other components of the vehicle.

In such a situation, it’s better to get in touch with legal professionals. Baton Rouge car accident attorneys at the Law Offices of L. Clayton Burgess can help you recover compensation for all your injuries and damage.

Common Types Of Car Accidents

  • Single car accidents
  • Vehicle rollover
  • Rear-end collision
  • Head-on collision
  • Side-impact collision
  • T-bone collision
  • Intersection car accident

Different Causes Of Car Accidents

  • Speeding: Failure to adhere to the posted speed limit is one of the leading causes of car accidents in the United States.
  • Driving Under The Influence Of Alcohol Or Drugs: Alcohol and drugs minimize our reflexes and that can lead to deadly collisions and road crashes.
  • Distracted Driving: Distractions could either be inside or outside the vehicle (texting, calling, eating, grooming, reading or adjusting the music system while driving).
  • Defective Auto Parts: When there’s a faulty part in the vehicle, it can cause the car to operate in an unsafe manner, thereby causing accidents.
  • Adverse Weather Conditions: Poor weather conditions can leave the roadway slippery, wet, or icy. On days of such hostile weather conditions, drivers need to pay extra attention and slow down. High winds, fog, dust storms, and torrential downpours are some of the common causes of road accidents.

Steps To Follow After A Car Accident

It’s often overwhelming to handle a car accident and its aftermath. Here are a few trusted steps to educate yourself and enhance awareness:

CHECK FOR INJURIES
There are times when car accident injuries are not apparent immediately but tend to surface a couple of days or weeks later. So, going for an immediate medical checkup is of primary importance.
After an accident, you must make it a point to notify the police without the slightest delay.
If your mobile phone is not damaged in the accident, you can use it to click pictures of the vehicles, injuries, and signposts marking the area.
DOCUMENT DETAILED NOTES
Obtain detailed information of the other people involved in the accident such as driver and witnesses. Make sure you have the names, phone numbers, license plate number along with the color and make of the other vehicles.
Ideally, you should get in touch with a lawyer and seek legal guidance for handling the queries of insurance providers.
