Before we can file your claim for personal injury, our auto accident attorneys in Baton Rouge need to establish what caused your accident in the first place. In virtually every car accident case we’ve handled, there is always another party responsible.
The first possible cause of an auto accident is distracted driving. From answering phone calls to talking to passengers, all it takes is a brief distraction to make a driver take their eyes off the road to get into accidents. Another major cause of auto wrecks is driving under the influence. Drugs and alcohol tend to impair judgment even in small doses and can make drivers less aware of their surroundings.
A third factor is road safety. If the government has neglected to repair roads in Baton Rouge, LA, the proper agency can be held responsible. This includes potholes, lack of safety signs, and unsafe road construction.
Roadwork, whether caused by government agencies or private companies, can also cause accidents. If construction materials are blocking the way or crew workers are careless, this may result in an unsafe driving environment.
Lastly, even if driving conditions are perfect and both drivers are careful, there may have been a manufacturing defect in the car. Every manufacturer has a duty to test their products for safety in the event of car accidents. We can hold the manufacturer liable for damaged or defective parts if these caused the accident.
In some cases, all of these factors are present and can entitle you to a much larger claim from all of the involved parties. If you choose us to represent you, our law firm will swiftly gather all the evidence needed to establish every possible cause.
