Driver Negligence
The majority of auto accidents result directly from driver negligence. Negligence can take many forms including:
- Distracted driving, such as texting, eating, drinking or personal grooming
- Speeding
- Driving too fast for road or weather conditions
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Failure to yield
- Unsafe passing
- Failure to signal
- Intoxication
- Unsafe lane changes
- Tailgating
Negligence constitutes the failure to use the normal amount of care that the average person would use under the same circumstances. You do not have to prove intent or to prove that the negligent driver committed a specific traffic infraction in order to recover financial compensation for your injuries.
Louisiana Car Accident Claims Lawyer, J. Ransdell Keene will help you sort through your legal options and file your claim seeking full compensation.
Other Causes
An auto accident claim can also be the result of a defective vehicle or a defective roadway. Either one changes the nature of your case.
If a defective vehicle was involved, product liability comes into play. Some defects, such a faulty seat belt or airbags, cause injuries in accidents caused by driver negligence.
If your Louisiana auto accident claim involves defective roadway, you will be suing the government entity responsible for the roadway. That can drastically shorten the amount of time you have to take legal action.
When You are Partly At Fault for Your Accident
Louisiana follows the pure comparative negligence standard which allows auto accident victims to recover compensation for their injuries even in cases where the victim was partially at fault. However, the victim’s compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to the victim.
