Left Turn Crash on Ridgelake Drive in Metairie
That was the reality for my client, a 28-year-old construction worker from Metairie. He was driving down Ridgelake Drive near 35th Street when another driver, heading north, made a left turn directly into his path. There was no time to stop. Just the sudden impact of metal on metal.
Neck and Back Injuries After the Collision
At first, he hoped the pain in his neck and back would ease up. But as the days passed, the stiffness and soreness didn’t go away. He sought chiropractic care, and while that helped, his pain persisted. His doctors recommended an MRI to determine if there were more serious underlying injuries.
