What Are Some Of The Severe Injuries You See Resulting From Accidents Involving Semi-Trucks Or Other Large Commercial Vehicles Across Louisiana?

The injuries resulting from trucking accidents have the potential to be the same as a regular auto accident. Often, the injuries are more severe simply because of the size of the vehicle and the impact associated with big rigs. Still, you can have a regular pickup truck that can cause as much damage to a vehicle and the persons in that vehicle. The injuries may be more severe, and those include neck injuries and injuries to the cervical disc. Generally, it is evenly split between cervical and lumbar injuries of the spine in those types of impacts because of the size of the vehicle and usually the speed.

I Was Injured In A Car Accident Near Lafayette, What Steps Should I Take If I Want To File A Personal Injury Claim?

A claim can be filed against the opposing driver’s insurance company and/or your own insurance company for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and also for your property damage associated with the collision. A person can do that on their own, but I would recommend that they hire an attorney experienced in that area because certain things you must establish require great care. In Louisiana, we have a no pay no play statute, which means if you do not have liability coverage on your vehicle and are in a collision with another driver who caused the accident, that will affect your ability to file a claim.

What Actually Qualifies As Medical Negligence Or Medical Malpractice Under Louisiana State Law?

Under Louisiana law, medical malpractice or negligence is a civil proceeding involving medical negligence, simply an act or an omission on the part of a healthcare professional that falls below an acceptable standard of care. However, it is often difficult to determine since the standard of care varies based upon the specialization or field of practice. If a doctor, nurse practitioner, or any other healthcare professional has a subspecialty, they would have a national standard, meaning the reasonable standard at which each professional must operate.
