You Must File Your Lawsuit on Time in Lake Charles

Understanding Why Lake Charles Left-Turn Accidents Occur
At the Morris Bart law office, our attorneys know how careless and reckless actions can lead to left-turn accidents. We investigate these crashes and document fault and liability.
Some common ways we see left-turn crashes occur include:
- Failure to yield
- Misjudging the speed of an approaching vehicle
- Running red lights
- Failing to see an oncoming car, motorcycle, or bicycle
- Not stopping for a pedestrian in the crosswalk
- Turning from the wrong lane
- Making an illegal U-turn
In all of these situations, the collision happens because of one driver’s negligence. To document negligence and hold the at-fault driver liable, we must show all four elements of negligence were present. These include:
- Duty of care: The at-fault driver’s responsibility to keep you safe.
- Breach of duty: The at-fault driver fails to uphold their duty of care by speeding, for example.
- Causation: The at-fault driver’s breach of duty was the proximate cause of the collision.
- Damages: You suffered damages such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, and mental anguish because of the crash.
Our attorneys build a compelling crash case to support the insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit necessary to recover fair compensation in your case. When we represent you, we will investigate the crash, gather evidence, and analyze the data to ensure we have a strong case for a fair payout.
