The cause of the accident can have an impact on a personal injury case. The at-fault driver in automobile accidents has generally violated a state law. The common causes of auto accidents are generally violations of state criminal law. It is a plus for the claimant that the at-fault driver has actually already committed a crime for which he has been charged. However, if the claimant was a driver of a vehicle and he or she violated the law by being, for example, drunk or being spaced out on drugs or speeding or running a red light, then the claimant is actually at fault and a cause of the auto accident. If that is the case, then his or her recovery for injuries could be denied or reduced because of his or her actions.
DUI/DWI
Recent automotive safety improvements such as airbags, rollover bars, reinforced frames, and better tires, have positively affected motor vehicle accident statistics, as have more strict drunk driving laws passed in many states. Lives have been spared. However, Gonzales motor vehicle accidents are still a hazard and part and parcel of our modern transportation needs. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that every 10 seconds someone in the United States is involved in a car accident.
Wrongful Death
A person has one (1) year from the date of the malpractice to file a medical malpractice claim in Louisiana. However, if someone was not aware that malpractice occurred until after the fact, then they would have one (1) year from the date of discovery to file a claim. However, in no event can a claim be pursued more than three (3) years from the date of the alleged malpractice incident. A claim for wrongful death, must be brought within one (1) year from the date that the death.
Traffic Violations
Another major cause of accidents probably nationwide is speeding. We are all busier than we should be these days and we are always in a rush. The new vehicles are so well-tuned and airtight and you do not realize how fast you are going. Another major cause is driving too closely behind the car in front of you, which is sometimes referred to as tailgating. This is when you just do not leave enough distance between you and the vehicle in front of you to safely stop in the event of some unexpected action by the person in front of you. Failure to give right of way is also a major cause of accidents.
Sex Crimes
Nursing home abuse may include physical acts resulting in physical damage (falls, dehydration or malnutrition, hitting or restraining, etc). More subtle, but just as damaging is neglect, theft, abandonment, defective equipment, sexual assault, coercion, and mental or emotional abuse. All of these have the potential to lead to injury or death of the nursing home patient. Act fast before it is too late.
