Vehicle Accident at Busy Intersection in Metairie Sends Deputy to Hospital
A female Jefferson Parish deputy was sent to the hospital after a vehicle accident at the busy Metairie intersection of Bonnabel Boulevard and Veterans Avenue. The deputy’s automobile collided with an SUV.
The deputy’s car was pinned against a light pole after the accident. She was taken to the hospital, where she was treated for minor injuries.
A 79-year-old passenger in the SUV was also transported to the hospital, where he sustained minor injuries. The 83-year-old driver of the SUV maintains that his light was green, and that the deputy ran through the intersection without using her lights or siren. However, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said the deputy's lights and siren were on as the car crossed the intersection.
Car Accident Injury Claims
There are a number of circumstances under which an intersectional collision accident can take place. This makes having an experienced collision accident attorney in your corner even more important.
Even if you believe the accident was minor, you could find yourself suffering from back and neck injuries that have long-term painful effects. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there are more than four million miles of roadways to travel in the United States. This makes the likelihood of a vehicle collision seem even more inevitable.
A car accident attorney has the resources to help you determine who is responsible and liable in your case. Even if you think you could be partly to blame for the accident, you may still be able to collect damages for a variety of contentions including:
-Current and future medical expenses
-Physical and emotional pain and suffering
-Loss of wages due to disability
-Compensation for loss of joy of life
