Why it’s vital to hire a professional car accident attorney
An automobile accident is more than about just wrecking a car — it can severely impact and change one’s entire life. Beyond the medical bills that often pile up, there’s the out-of-pocket expense for damages the insurance company won’t cover, lost wages from being unable to return to work, and the overwhelming general sense of hopelessness.
If you have been injured in a car accident in Lafayette or the Acadiana area, there’s absolutely no reason to suffer any more than you have to. The Law Office of Stephen C. Gaubert fuses knowledge, expertise and human empathy when representing clients, because each victim of an unfortunate car accident deserves fair compensation.
It’s always a better idea to obtain legal counsel sooner than later when involved in any kind of accident. Even if the accident didn’t result in serious injury, turning to legal professionals enables your case to be explored and investigated with the utmost experience.
Louisiana roads, Louisiana cases
The roads in Louisiana can sometimes be difficult — and dangerous — to travel on, especially during inclement weather. According to the Federal Highway Administration, approximately 22 percent of the 5.7 million car accidents each year in this section of the U.S. are due to poor climate.
DUI / drunk driver accidents
Drunk driving endangers everyone on the road. If you’ve been struck by a driver under the influence, the first action to take after ensuring you’re in stable physical condition is to call our law office.
“Asleep at the wheel” accidents
It is reported that up to 6,000 fatal car crashes are caused by drowsy drivers each year. Falling asleep at the wheel isn’t the only danger — fatigued drivers also exhibit delayed reaction times and can make erratic driving decisions.
