Baton Rouge, LA - EMTs Respond to Reports of Crash on LA-1 at I-10

It is scary to learn that the highest rate of traffic accidents takes place within a few miles of people’s homes. Drivers who are just heading out to go to the corner store, the supermarket, walk their dog at the local park, or visit with a friend or relative for the evening are not any safer than a driver who is planning to drive across the state or across the country.Β 

Our Baton Rouge personal injury attorneys invest fully in our clients and work tirelessly to ensure they receive the full amount of financial compensation to which they are entitled.Β 

It is critical that drivers never become complacent or let their guard down just because they are driving on a familiar street they have traveled many times before, running a daily errand to the gas station or the post office. Lowered awareness increases the likelihood of a car accident taking place, even when your destination is just around the corner.Β Β
