The United States Census Bureau states that there are roughly 4.6 million people living in the state of Louisiana. There are roughly 3.3 million licensed drivers in the state, and they drive an estimated 50 billion miles annually.

Types of Car Accidents in New Orleans
A car accident can be traumatic experience on its own, however, when an injury or fatality occurs it can be devastating to the individuals involved and their families. Motorists and passengers place a lot of trust in their vehicles, skills and the people with whom they share the road.
When other drivers fail to uphold their duty to operate their vehicles safely, people can get hurt. It’s important that you hold negligent and reckless drivers accountable for the costs you incur as a result of their actions.
As a driver, motorcyclist, or pedestrian, you face many dangers, including but not limited to:
- Uninsured motorists’ accidents – Most insurances include coverage but arguing with insurance companies is not something people do often. You would benefit from having an attorney by your side to ensure that you get the justice you deserve.
- Drunk driving crashes – Alcohol can lead to devastating accidents and result in severe and even fatal injuries. Impairment is dangerous for everyone involved. Mike Brandner Law encourage you to stay safe and don’t drink and drive. Call a taxi or Uber to get home safely.
- Head-on collisions – Many consider these one of the most dangerous types of accidents. Though seat belts and air bags provide some protection, two vehicles colliding head on while traveling at high rates of speed can result in severe damage to the vehicles. Even at low speeds, the injuries caused in head-on collisions can be severe.
- Hit-and-run accidents – One of the most confusing types of accidents to experience. The usual steps following the accident would involve the other person. When a driver causes an accident and flees the scene, they have effectively multiplied the damaging effects by depriving you of the compensation you’re owed. We can help you get the justice you deserve so you can focus on recovering.
- Rush hour traffic crashes – Congestion can create headaches. Many people succumb to road rage. Give yourself plenty of time when driving to or from work. Traffic congestion is frustrating enough, but knowing you are going to be late compounds that frustration. Frustration contributes to your risk of a crash because you aren’t as focused on your surroundings as you should be.
- Fatigued driving accidents – Driving at night presents unique challenges that daytime drivers will not face. Traffic fatalities are three times more likely to occur while it is dark. While fatigued driving isn’t always at night, it still presents a danger that needs to be addressed.
No matter how carefully you drive, you cannot predict what other drivers are going to do. Even minor car accidents can be overwhelming and stressful. Don’t take a chance, call Michael Brandner Injury Attorneys today at (504) 345-1111.
Common Auto Accident Injuries
Victims of car accidents can suffer a wide range or injuries. Some of the most common injuries include:
- Broken bones – Motorcycles weigh anywhere from 250 pounds for a cruiser to 500 for a Harley Davidson. The average car weighs around 2,900 pounds. With this amount of weight, bones don’t really stand a chance of remaining intact in even low-speed collisions. Breaks can induce swelling, pain, bleeding, and infections from broken layers of protective tissues. Infections from wounds created by bones and bone shards can spread.
- Head injury – From concussions to broken skulls, any head injury should be taken seriously and treated with the utmost haste. These injuries can happen even in low-speed accidents. They may not appear immediately either. Contact us for more info about head injuries and how we can help.
- Emotional and psychological trauma – This type of damage happens after distressing events like a car or truck accidents. This damage should be included in your pain and suffering settlement. Trust that Mike Brandner Law will help get the justice you deserve.
- Whiplash – This usually happens during motor vehicle accidents. Common symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, stiffness, and headaches. It can also create long-lasting complications affecting your possible employment. If you have been in a motor vehicle accident, contact us today
