Automobile accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, but two of the main reasons involve negligence and dangerous roadways.
When drivers do not exercise reasonable care when driving, it is much easier for accidents to occur. Negligence on the road may include driving too fast for road conditions, being distracted by cell phones or other devices, ignoring traffic signals, or road signs or driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, this behavior on the road occurs far too often and can leave other drivers seriously injured.
Likewise, drivers have a reasonable expectation that the roads that they drive on will be safe. Roadways need to have proper markings, signs and barriers to prevent accidents, and problems with these roadways need to be fixed in a reasonable manner.
Underinsured and uninsured motorists claims
In Louisiana, insurance companies are required, by law, to offer underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage. Unfortunately, nearly 25% of all drivers in the state are uninsured and some insurance companies give their drivers a waiver to refuse uninsured motorist coverage.
If you are involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, your own insurance company is supposed to compensate you for your injuries and other expenses relating the accident. If your insurance company refuses to comply with your insurance policy, you need a lawyer who is not afraid to take them on.
