What To Know About Auto Crashes
Countless factors can contribute to motor vehicle crashes. Some collisions, such as those caused by weather conditions or medical emergencies, cannot be avoided. Still, many others are preventable. These incidents are due to driver error, carelessness or negligence.
If you believe your injury in a vehicle accident stemmed from negligence, such as the following behaviors or occurrences, visit one of our injury attorneys in Lafayette as soon as possible. If you are unable to travel, we can do a remote consultation or meet at the location of your recovery:
- Speeding: Driving recklessly, aggressively, and/or without regard for the speed limit
- DUI/DWI: Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. While DUI/DWI is actually a criminal conviction, you can also file a civil lawsuit for damages.
- Extreme fatigue: Driving while exhausted or falling asleep at the wheel.
- Distraction: Not giving the road their full attention, concentrating instead on the radio, GPS or location device, mobile phone, passengers, or scenery.
- Equipment failure: A vehicle unexpectedly malfunctions
- Road conditions: A roadway or highway is poorly designed or maintained
The legal team at Cooke Law Firm helps clients file personal injury claims seeking compensation for medical costs, property damage, lost wages due to missed work time, and even emotional pain and suffering. We take on any kind of vehicle accident issue no matter the type of vehicle involved, from cars to bicycles to commercial trucks.
