LA-16 in Denham Springs, Louisiana is a heavily traveled corridor in Livingston Parish. The four-lane highway is separated by a raised cement median. While our client was riding as a passenger, the driver of the vehicle attempted a U-turn on LA-16 at its intersection with LA-1025.
However, during the turn, the driver failed to yield to oncoming northbound traffic on LA-16 and caused a crash into the passenger side of the vehicle. Our client was tossed and turned during the impact causing substantial pain and discomfort to her neck, shoulder and back
She treated conservatively at first and then was recommended for more extensive pain relief due to her injuries. We were able to obtain policy limits on the claim for our client as a result of this crash.
