Hit-and-Run Crashes in Louisiana

Hit-and-run deaths are on the rise in the United States. Bicycles and pedestrians account for 65 percent of these accidents, and due to their vulnerabilities on the road, these crashes can lead to particularly severe injuries. Unfortunately, a large majority of these victims sustain fatal injuries, leaving behind families who are devastated by their loss. These events are made worse when they are due to the negligence of other drivers who do not even bother to stop at the scene to render aid. In some cases, families can contact a Louisiana wrongful death attorney to protect their legal rights and recover damages from the accident.
