A Routine Uber Ride Turned Painful in Metairie
Tessa was riding as a passenger in an Uber stopped for traffic at Clearview Parkway and Jasper Street in Jefferson Parish when another driver rear-ended the vehicle. The at-fault driver told police his car slipped on gravel while trying to stop, and officers cited him for careless operation.
Serious Injuries After the Crash
What should have been a simple ride quickly became painful and stressful. After the crash, Tessa began medical treatment and was diagnosed with an L1 compression fracture, along with soft tissue injuries to her cervical spine, thoracic spine, and right shoulder.
Her pain made everyday tasks harder. She also missed work while focusing on appointments, treatment, and recovery, which added financial pressure at a time when she was already dealing with pain and uncertainty.
