Violent Drunk Driving Crash On US-190
At just 22 years old, our client from Des Allemands was riding as a passenger with his girlfriend when a drunk driver slammed into them on US-190 in St. Tammany Parish. The crash was sudden and forceful, leaving both of them shaken.
While the scene eventually cleared, his pain did not.
Back Injuries Confirmed By MRI
Soon after the wreck, he began experiencing persistent mid and lower back pain. When the discomfort did not improve, an MRI confirmed the injury. He chose to begin with conservative treatment rather than surgery, hoping time and therapy would help.
Despite his efforts, the pain continued, and doctors ultimately recommended pain-relieving injections.
Why Acting Early Made A Difference
This was not the first time he had trusted our team. He understood how quickly insurance companies can move to limit payouts, especially in cases involving drunk drivers. He also knew that waiting too long can weaken a claim.
Because he came to us early, our Louisiana drunk driving accident lawyers were able to protect him from being pressured into a low settlement. We began building the case right away, documenting his medical care, tracking expenses, and preparing for every possible insurance argument.
More Than The Minimum Policy Limits Recovered
In under a year, we resolved his case for more than the minimum policy limits available from the drunk driver’s insurance and his own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
He did not have to handle the legal stress while managing his recovery. He received full value for his injuries and the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone was looking out for him, once again.
