Crowley Accident Lawyer

As the “Rice Capital of America,” Crowley is the heart of Acadia Parish. The town was named for Patrick Crowley, an Irish rail man responsible for building the railroad depot on the land of founders C.C. and W. W. Duson. Once, Crowley was a major agricultural center for both the harvesting and milling of rice. Today, rice remains the area’s most prominent product, although crawfish farming has also become popular in more recent years.

Cars are one of the most common forms of transportation in America. Every day, 253 million cars take to the roads. With so many vehicles on the road, accidents are bound to happen. Often, those accidents may only cause a few scrapes in your paint, but more serious accidents are chillingly common. In fact, car accidents are the most common cause of death for healthy Americans. Those that survive are likely to suffer lasting damage, or need thousands of dollars in order to repair their vehicle.

In 2012, a Lafayette woman was stopped at a yield sign, waiting to merge onto Highway 90. Suddenly, the car behind her slammed into her rear, sending both vehicles careening off onto the shoulder of the road. Eventually, she lost her job when spinal surgery couldn’t help her severe chronic pain. She lost everything to a driver who was clearly at fault. However, their insurance company would not honor their policy. Struggling with her depression and anxiety, she came to us looking for help after the insurance wouldn’t even pay $10,000 for her car repairs. Over two years, negotiated a $730,000 settlement for her. While it is unclear if she’ll work again, she knows that her needs will be cared for because we fought for her.
