The Dangers of Distracted Driving

In recent decades, distracted driving has become an increasingly serious problem on our nation’s roads. The rise of GPS devices and cell phones has contributed to the problem, but these are not the only forms of distracted driving.

In fact, anything that takes a driver’s attention from the road is considered a distraction—this includes:

  • Talking to passengers
  • Changing the radio station
  • Eating or drinking
  • And looking at billboards or accidents along the roadway

How Is Fault Determined In A Car Accident In Louisiana?

After a car accident in Louisiana, it’s critical to protect both your safety and your legal rights. Do not leave the scene, as state law requires you to stop, identify yourself, and offer reasonable aid. Check for injuries right away and call 911 if anyone is hurt. You should also call the police, since any accident involving injury, death, or more than $500 in property damage must be reported, and an official police report can strengthen your personal injury or insurance claim. While waiting, gather key information—contact details, insurance, license plates, witness names—and take photos of the scene and any visible injuries. Just as important, do not admit fault, because even a simple apology could be used against you later.

After the immediate steps are taken, seek medical attention, even if you feel fine, because many injuries appear days or weeks later and documented medical records are essential to your claim. Finally, contact an experienced car accident attorney at The Womac Law Firm . Insurance companies often try to undervalue claims, but our team knows how to protect your rights and fight for every dollar you deserve on a no recovery, no fee basis.

What Should I Do If I Get in a Car Accident?

As though suffering an accident isn’t bad enough, it can be just as miserable to deal with the insurance company after the fact.

Check for injuries: Call 911 if anyone is hurt and seek medical attention promptly, even for delayed symptoms.

Gather information: Collect contact, license plate, and insurance details, plus photos of the scene and injuries.

Do not admit fault: Avoid apologies or statements that could be used against you later.

What to Do If You Are Injured in an Accident

Here are some important steps you should take after an accident to protect your rights.


  • Stay at the Scene
    Whether you were hit by a distracted driver or slipped and fell on a wet floor in a retail store, it is important that you remain at the scene. In the case of motor vehicle accidents, leaving before you have provided your identity and offered reasonable aid is actually against the law; in every case, staying at the scene until help arrives allows you to ensure you get the proper medical attention and information you need.
  • Call for Help
    After an accident, check yourself and others for injuries. If you or anyone else appears seriously injured, call 911 and wait for paramedics to arrive. You should also call the police and have them come out to the scene of the accident. You may need to file an official accident report, which law enforcement can do on site on your behalf.
  • Get as Much Information as You Can
    It is important that you gather as much information from the other people involved in the accident. This includes their names and contact information, as well as their insurance information in the event of a motor vehicle collision. It is also a good idea to record everything you can about the accident right away; document when and where the incident occurred, take pictures of your injuries and the accident scene, and speak to any witnesses who may have seen what happened.
  • Do Not Admit Fault
    Even if you think you were partly to blame for the accident, avoid admitting fault. You may believe that you were responsible only to find out that the other party was acting negligently or was more at fault than you. Remember, something as simple as apologizing can be construed as admitting fault, and it could come back to haunt you if the insurance company tries to use this to dispute or deny your claim.
  • Seek Medical Attention
    If you did not receive emergency care at the scene, the first thing you should do after leaving the accident is see a doctor. Even if you believe your injuries are not that serious—or that you were not injured at all—the shock of the accident may mask their severity. In some cases, injuries take hours, days, or even weeks to appear. Seemingly minor injuries can worsen over time without proper treatment. Always see a doctor after an accident, and always follow all your doctor’s advice, recommendations, and treatment plans.
  • Contact an Attorney
    Hiring an attorney for your personal injury claim can feel like just another task on your to-do list, but the benefits of having a legal team on your side are immeasurable. While you focus on healing, your attorney will gather evidence to support your claim, negotiate with the insurance company, and ensure that you do not make any mistakes that could jeopardize your recovery. And, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, your attorney can prepare you and your case for trial, as well as advocate tirelessly for you in the courtroom.
