What are The Leading Causes of Car Accidents in Louisiana

Auto accidents can happen at any time. In many cases, car accidents happen due to negligence. When you have been in a car accident due to someone else’s negligent or reckless driving, you need to call a lawyer. The Lafayette auto accident attorneys at the Gaar Law Firm have experience litigating many different types of car accident claims, determining the causes and proving negligence.

What Caused The Accident That Injured You?

Most motor vehicle accidents are avoidable, and can be eliminated with simple precautions. Serious injuries can be avoided by simply wearing a seat belt. However, no amount of caution can control other drivers on the road and prevent their mistakes from causing a serious injury. If another motorist contributed to your accident, you may be able to bring a claim for financial compensation from the insurance company.

Some common causes of car accidents are:

• Speeding
• Traffic
• Gridlock
• Recklessness
• Negligence
• Road rage/aggressive driving
• Fatigue or falling asleep behind the wheel
• Drug abuse
• Drunk driving
• Cellphone use include text messaging

Why It Makes Sense To Get A Skilled Attorney On Your Side

Car accident cases can involve complex litigation. Determining the cause of an accident is imperative and often difficult. Depending on the nature and severity of your injuries and damages, it may be difficult to handle on your own. Attempting to resolve your car accident injury case on your own often results in less compensation. Insurance companies have to make a profit, and may not always act in your best interest.
