Any incident that leaves you injured as a result of a third party’s negligence is a personal injury accident. Such instances can come in the form of animal bites, slip and falls, construction site accidents, and much more, but none more common than car accidents. Nearly 1.3 million people die in car crashes annually, averaging to roughly 3, 287 deaths a day. Although Lake Charles may not have the population of New Orleans, car accidents are still a major issue.
It only takes one driver to have a lapse of judgment for an accident to occur. When an individual chooses to drive drunk, tired, reckless, or under the influence of drugs, they are saying that they couldn’t care less about the well-being of other commuters. When one of these drivers causes a car accident, the injured party is left to deal with seemingly endless financial responsibilities. Rather than bury yourself in debt, hold the responsible party accountable when you contact a Lake Charles personal injury attorney.
Personal Injury Accident Injuries
Sustaining an injury is an unfortunate possibility of being in a car accident. Not only are you hurt physically but you are psychologically scarred as well which can interfere with your ability to go about your daily life. Common car accident injuries include:
-
-
- Brain and head injuries
- Psychological injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Neck injuries
- Internal injuries
- Back injuries
- Facial injuries
Insurance companies will likely attempt to reach out to you before you can pursue legal action. The last thing they want to do is face a lawsuit.  Instead, they’ll likely offer you a lump sum settlement to silence you. You should never accept the initial settlement offer from an insurance company as it rarely covers the full extent of damages that resulted from the accident. A Lake Charles personal injury attorney can help you recover the maximum compensation entitled to you by law.
