Monroe is the eighth-largest city in Louisiana, and its population grows every year. With this increase in the population comes more traffic, more commuters, more children who go to school, and more people overall on the road. While growth is beneficial for the city, it also means that more car accidents are inevitable. If you have been hurt in a crash and someone else was at fault, you can file a claim for compensation against them. Car accident claims, though, are complicated and recovering the fair damages you deserve is not easy. Our Monroe car accident lawyer can help you overcome the challenges these cases present.

Common Types of Car Accidents

Every car accident is unique, but they all present certain legal issues. Some of the most common types of car accidents we have handled in the past include:

  • T-bone accidents
  • Head-on collisions
  • Rear-end collisions
  • Rental car accidents
  • Multiple vehicle accidents
  • Hit and runs
  • Rideshare accidents
  • Food delivery accidents
  • Rollover accidents
  • Red light accidents

Common Causes of Car Accidents

Any negligent, or careless, action or inaction can result in a car accident. However, there are some causes of car crashes that are more common than others. These are as follows:

  • Impaired driving: As in all states, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is against the law in Louisiana. Sadly, too many motorists still get behind the wheel while they are impaired.
  • Distracted driving: It is also against the law to text and drive in the state. However, texting and driving is not the only type of distraction drivers face. Loud music, rowdy passengers, eating, drinking, and watching other accidents are just some of the most common.
  • Speeding: Many motorists drive over the speed limit, but this is very dangerous behavior. Speeding limits the amount of time a driver has to stop and slows a driver’s reaction time, which can result in a crash.
  • Reckless driving: Following too closely, swerving in and out of lanes, and failing to follow traffic signs and signals are all common examples of reckless driving.
  • Defective auto parts: Liable parties are not always at the scene of car accidents. When a government entity allows a defective road condition to exist, they can also be held liable for a crash.

Common Car Accident Injuries

A traumatic car accident will cause many injuries. The most common of these are as follows:

  • Neck injuries, such as whiplash
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Burns
  • Broken bones
  • Head injuries
  • Hearing loss
  • Amputation
  • Paralysis
  • Wrongful death

A wrongful death occurs when a car accident is so severe, one or more victims do not survive it. After a wrongful death, certain family members have the right to file a claim for their losses.
