Abogado de accidentes por conducción distraída en Nueva Orleans
New Orleans Distracted Driving Accident Attorney
When you learn that the injuries you got in a car accident were preventable, the frustration and anger can be overwhelming. That’s where a skilled New Orleans distracted driving accident lawyer can step in.
En Murphy Law Firm, nuestro equipo understand how devastating these kinds of accidents can be, which is why we focus on providing clear, compassionate guidance to those impacted by distracted driving accidents.
Why Distracted Driving Accidents Demand Focused Attention
With a 6.1% aumento in car accident payouts in 2022, it’s important to note that over 280,000 people were injured in distracted driving accident cases that same year, and on average, nine people are killed every day because of it.
When drivers take their eyes off the road, even for a second, the results can be catastrophic, leading to a wide range of serious injuries like those commonly seen in car crash victims. Some of the most frequent injury types include whiplash, traumatic brain injury, and spinal trauma.
Understanding Distracted Driving Types and Their Impact on Your Case
Distracted driving can take many forms, and each one can dramatically affect whether you have a car accident claim or a distracted driving accident claim on your hands. For example, if a driver was changing the radio just before they ran a red light, that distraction could be named the cause.
Recognizing the different types of distractions can help clarify the circumstances surrounding your crash and strengthen your case by pinpointing exactly how the other driver’s inattention led to your injuries. Some of these distractions include:
- Eating or drinking behind the wheel
- Adjusting the radio or navigation system
- Talking to passengers
- Daydreaming or being lost in thought
- Improperly using a GPS device
Distracted driving crashes in New Orleans are becoming more common, especially on routes already known for high accident rates. Some Louisiana roadways are considered among the most dangerous in the region, further increasing the risk.
At Murphy Law Firm, we carefully review every detail to help you understand how these factors come into play and what evidence matters most for your specific situation.
Moving Beyond Recovery: Compensation You Could Pursue
After a distracted driving accident, the road to recovery often involves more than just healing physically; it also means addressing the financial and emotional burdens that come along with it.
Compensation in distracted driving cases generally falls into two categories: economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover financial losses for which you can produce a receipt, while non-economic damages address intangible losses that are more difficult to quantify. Both types are important, and a comprehensive claim considers the full scope of your physical, emotional, and financial hardships. They can include:
- Medical treatment costs (current and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Dolor y sufrimiento
- Angustia emocional
- Daños materiales
- Costs related to rehabilitation or long-term care
Even if you feel okay immediately after a crash, some symptoms can surface days later. Delayed onset of injury is common, and documenting these changes is critical to the success of your claim.
By seeking compensation for both tangible and intangible losses, you’re taking an important step toward not only reclaiming stability but also rebuilding your life. With thorough preparation and advocacy, you can pursue the full recovery you deserve, and the team at Murphy Law Firm works hard to ensure all these factors are accurately represented.
How Murphy Law Firm Supports You Through Every Step and Why Local Experience Matters
In hopes that you’ll settle quickly and for less than you’re owed, insurance companies tend to downplay claims or push for settlements that don’t fully cover your losses. In these situations, Murphy Law Firm stands firmly by your side to assertively advocate on your behalf and to secure compensation that reflects the full picture.
If negotiations don’t lead to a fair resolution, we’re prepared to take your case to court. While going to trial isn’t usually anyone’s first choice, sometimes it’s necessary to hold negligent drivers accountable and to make sure you receive the compensation you need to rebuild your life. Our approach includes:
- Promptly gather and preserve all important evidence, like police reports, witness accounts, cell phone data, and accident scene photos.
- Handling difficult insurance negotiations to fight for compensation that truly reflects your losses
- Preparing to take your case to court when necessary to hold negligent parties responsible
- Collaborating with trusted medical providers, accident reconstruction professionals, and other professionals to support your claim
- Providing clear communication and guidance throughout every phase of your case
We also work closely with injured rideshare passengers and drivers facing similar negligence issues. If your crash involved a rideshare vehicle, special steps may apply to ensure you’re fairly compensated.
In addition, Murphy Law Firm draws on extensive experience working with the Orleans Parish Civil District Court and Orleans Parish Traffic Court to give your case an edge. These courts have specific rules, deadlines, and preferences that can impact how your case unfolds. Having a skilled Nueva Orleans attorney familiar with this local legal landscape by your side can help avoid costly mistakes and ensure your case is handled both efficiently and effectively.
