Transportation Accidents

Not all transportation accidents require legal representation. Insurance companies can often settle minor collision claims. However, complex cases that involve medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other issues should be handled by an attorney.

Some of the most common types of transportation accidents we handle include:

• Automobile accidents: Whether you are the driver or passenger, automobile accidents can include rear-end collisions and head-on collisions, which are often fatal.
• Truck accidents: Collisions between 18-wheelers and passenger cars can result in devastating injuries caused by distracted driving, improper loading, driver fatigue or other negligence.
• Boat accidents: Louisiana's scenic lakes and waterways make boating popular. High speeds, alcohol consumption and inexperienced operators are common contributing factors.
• Aviation accidents: If you were injured in a plane crash, you might be entitled to compensation. We have the expertise to investigate the cause and determine if negligent parties were at fault.
• Railroad accidents: Train and railroad crossing collisions can cause serious injuries to train operators, transit passengers, automobile passengers and pedestrians.

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are common throughout Baton Rouge and across Louisiana. But when a rideshare accident occurs, determining who is responsible can be complicated. Multiple insurance policies may apply, including the rideshare company's coverage, the driver's personal insurance, and other drivers involved in the crash.

If you were injured in an Uber or Lyft accident in Baton Rouge, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In certain situations, Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage.

An experienced Baton Rouge rideshare accident lawyer can help determine liability and pursue the full compensation available under Louisiana law.
