Common Causes of Car Accidents

Car accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, many of which are entirely preventable. Understanding the cause of your accident is a critical step in determining liability and building a strong claim.

Car accidents often happen due to:

  • Distracted driving
  • Fatigued driving
  • Driving under the influence
  • Speeding
  • Poor road conditions

Our car accident attorney in St. Landry Parish can thoroughly investigate your case, identify the responsible parties, and work to hold them accountable.

Types of Car Accident Injuries

After a car accident, you may be spending time at Arcadian Medical Center, Opelousas General Health System, or other facilities for treatment. Unfortunately, accidents can lead to both minor and life-altering conditions.

Common car accident injuries include:

  • Whiplash
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Sprains and strains
  • Lacerations
  • Burns
  • Internal injuries

No matter the severity of your injuries, it is important to seek medical attention and legal guidance as soon as possible. Our team can make sure your injuries are fully documented and pursue the compensation needed for your recovery.

Louisiana's Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Claims

A statute of limitations sets the deadline for filing a legal claim. In Louisiana, you generally have two years from the date of your car accident to file a personal injury claim.

While this may seem like plenty of time, building a strong case requires gathering evidence, speaking with witnesses, and negotiating with insurance companies. Acting quickly is essential.

If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to recover compensation, regardless of how strong your case may be. Working with a St. Landry Parish car accident lawyer as soon as possible can help ensure your claim is filed on time and handled properly.
